Alice in Wonderland Movie Preview

From Walt Disney Pictures and visionary director Tim Burton comes an epic 3D fantasy adventure Alice in Wonderland, a magical and imaginative twist on some of the most beloved stories of all time.

Johnny Depp stars as the Mad Hatter, and Mia Wasikowska as 19-year-old Alice, who returns to the whimsical world she first encountered as a young girl, reuniting with her childhood friends: the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Dormouse, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, and of course, the Mad Hatter.



Alice embarks on a fantastical journey to find her true destiny and end the Red Queen's reign of terror. The all-star cast also includes Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, Crispin Glover as Stayne-Knave of Hearts, and Matt Lucas as Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Providing the voices for Underland's menagerie of inhabitants is an eclectic and impressive mix of acting talent, including Michael Sheen as the White Rabbit, Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat, Alan Rickman as Absolem the caterpillar, Timothy Spall as Bayard, Barbara Windsor as the Dormouse, Sir Christopher Lee as the Jabberwocky, Michael Gough as the Dodo, and Paul Whitehouse as the March Hare.

Originally published in 1865, Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland changed forever the course of children's literature. For Burton, the prospect of being able to put his own fresh spin on such a timeless classic as Alice in Wonderland was impossible to resist.

"It's so much a part of the culture," he reflects of Carroll's tale that has inspired numerous stage, television and film adaptations. "So whether you've read the story or not, you'll know certain images or have certain ideas about it. It's such a popular story."

"I'm a huge fan of the book," adds Depp. "It's such a beast in terms of invention, of literary achievement. It's as brilliant and as fresh and as new and as interesting today as it was then."
