Fans of Tim Burton, director of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and countless other movies, are in for another treat1 with his new movie, Alice in Wonderland2. The movie is based on Lewis Carroll's classic novels "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass"3. However, there is one big difference—Alice is not an innocent little girl anymore. In Burton's fantasy adventure film, Alice is 19 years old and does not remember visiting Wonderland many years ago.
Just like the first time, Alice tries to get away from her reality by following a white rabbit down a hole. She is taken to the magical world of Wonderland, where she is reunited with some of her old friends like the Mad Hatter, played by Johnny Depp. However, the reunion is not completely a happy one because Alice is still in the dark about why she is there. What's more, she discovers that Wonderland is being threatened by the Red Queen and only she can save the day. Why not follow Alice down the hole in "Alice in Wonderland" in theaters this month? You will be in for another hair-raising4 adventure.
