You know your book is poorly adapted when Disney is still considered the gospel... And that's how Alice is. Nobody gets it right, but this film comes close.
The Looking Glass is a world where everyone is speaking in puns, riddles, logical inversions, and nonsense poetry. There's almost no plot or character. It is random, sometimes funny, sometimes tender, sometimes boring, sometimes creepy or insane. It passes over you like a dream, but the best parts endure...
Yes, the special effects are dumb. The scenes are cheap. Alice is a hot 20-something instead of cute 7 and a half. blah blah blah... It doesn't matter!
What matters is perfect delivery of great lines. Like watching Shakespeare, it all comes down to what the actors say and how they say it.
