Twas brillig

We saw Alice in Wonderland – not in 3-D, unfortunately, but it still looked amazing in typical Tim Burton fashion.
I loved Helena Bonham-Carter and her enormous angry head, as well as Matt Lucas as Tweedles Dum and Dee, but I couldn't shake the image of both Edward Scissorhands and Willy Wonka whenever Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter had a close-up. I think I blame it on the make-up.
The one thing that disappointed me was that there wasn't more of Stephen Fry's Cheshire Cat. The CG design was brilliant but best of all was his voice – so silkily menacing. Just perfect.


I would have been happy with a whole movie based on that character.
