Of all the fairytales Disney Studios could've adapted, I'm unbelievably glad Alice in Wonderland is one of them. There are a handful of of fantasy realms that are just the pinnacle of everything the fantasy genre stands for. I put Wonderland up there right next to Middle-Earth.
First of all, I have never ever ever experienced a Wonderland adventure I didn't like. Movies, shows, books, video games - the Wonderland aesthetic is unmatched. The incredible artist, Mary Blair, worked on this project. There was no way this movie would fail, especially in the art department. I know of the many adventures Alice encountered in the original books, but I'm not sure of the accuracy between the book and this film. However, I feel that it captures the essence of Wonderland as Alice goes through tis journey full of nonsense and random encounters with curious people and creatures. If "absurd" is a word that can describe a trip to Wonderland, then it's a successful trip. And Alice's trip to Wonderland was a success to be sure.
