Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

If they didn't go in nearly strict order from place-to-place following the (Disney version of) Alice in Wonderland, I wouldn't have minded so much that they imposed a completely different and stupidly vapid story upon it. Want original story? Then don't copy the layout of the original tale so slavishly.

Of course, that the story chosen was so cut-and-dried, and no one but the Red Queen even for a moment tried to mess with Alice's head, left the proceedings feeling NOTHING like any presentation that should dare to call itself "Alice in Wonderland."

The characters and settings don't make the tale what it is, especially if half those characters are nothing like their literary counterparts. (The settings were well done, and half the characters were indeed like their literary counterparts. Forgot to mention that the Caterpillar fvcked with Alice's head quite properly. Good on him.)
