I can't wait for MARCH 5th 2010!
First thing first, I'm not an avid fans of Alice in Wonderland when I was a kid, I found it pretty whimsical and rather weird, which is not really suitable to my taste of cartoons when I was a kid. I tried to watch it once, and ended up sleeping because it's just too boring for me. All the weird songs they sung, it was not my kind of taste in Disney music too (Sorry, Disney, but it's the truth!)
Anyway, the first time I saw the promo picture of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, I was like.. "Okay, what the heck is this?" You see, because all of them looks so funny yet so... strange. All the name of the big stars dressed in a some whimsical clothing & make up. I didn't even know what it is at first. I didn't realized that it is a promo pic for Tim Burton's upcoming movie!
But I guess, Tim Burton does have some kind of magic in every movie that he made - He & his Burtonesque style. I fell in love bits by bits to this not-yet-out movie! Thanks to Tumblr & Flickr who are responsible for making me falling in love with Alice in Wonderland. And oh, Youtube too! Man~ I really-really can't wait! Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter is probably the one that I couldn't wait to see, Mia Wasikowska - who played Alice too and oh, you definitely couldn't miss THE CHESIRE CAT! You've got to see how its creepy grin.
Synopsis
Alice, now 19, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to by a rich suitor in front of hundreds of snooty society types. She runs off, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited many years before, yet she doesn't remember. The White Rabbit claims to have come back for Alice because she is the only one who can slay the Jabberwock, the beast who guards the Red Queen's empire. Since Alice left, the Red Queen took over all of Wonderland, and made life great for her, while ruining everyone else's life. She then embarks on an adventure of self discovery to save Wonderland from the Red Queen's reign of terror with the help of her Wonderland friends. Alice remains completely unaware of why she is in Wonderland, and is confused about the fact that she had once visited Wonderland years before.Characters:
Mia Wasikowska as Alice
"There is something real, honest and sincere about her. She's not a typical Hollywood starlet.We wanted somebody who had…it’s hard to put into words, but just had a gravity to her, an internal life, something that you could see the wheels turning. It’s just a simple kind of power to her that we really liked. Not flamboyant, not very showy, but just somebody that’s got a lot of internal life to her. That’s why I picked her."
-Tim Burton & Richard D.Zanuck

Johnny Depp as Mad Hatter
" 'Alice in Wonderland' I think is going to be very, very, very fun. It's outstanding ... Tim's work. I think he's outdone himself, you know. Brilliant. The Hatter was very fun to play."
- Johnny Depp
Anne Hathaway as White Queen
“Cute but psycho. Things even out. Her character also doesn’t walk, she floats. She’s very eccentric and over dramatic, and just as mad in her way as the Hatter.”
Helena Bonham Carter as Red Queen
" 'Alice in Wonderland' I think is going to be very, very, very fun. It's outstanding ... Tim's work. I think he's outdone himself, you know. Brilliant. The Hatter was very fun to play."

Anne Hathaway as White Queen
“Cute but psycho. Things even out. Her character also doesn’t walk, she floats. She’s very eccentric and over dramatic, and just as mad in her way as the Hatter.”
Helena Bonham Carter as Red Queen
Carter’s head will be increased in size by three times on screen. Her character is a combination of the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts and likes nothing better than to scream, “Off with their heads!”
gotta love her dress!
There is a place.
Like no place on Earth.
A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger!
Some say to survive it:
You need to be as mad as a hatter.
