did you remark these details...

Rating: 10/10 (25 July 2010)

notice: my mother tongue is French...
warning: This is a dream, it cannot hurt you.
I had continuously (fr)"frissons", this movie is really out from a mad magician hatter.
while a very short piece of music, end of the battle, outed me the dream for a while... Holy sh.t! /this is _the_ missed key/. Would play on an historic organ and (fr) "viole" and one or two other chords, and a (fr)"cloche", should be the anachronistic composition OK ('Think (fr "Organ of Mr. Barbarie") would be also too recent). Maybe a true one "Halmond Organ" with a very (fr) "talentueuse" jazz-women... but she died.
The modern orchestra music fits perfectly the dream. First note to the generic end. Contrast to the /modern (fr)"Gigue" would be old instruments choices. Definitively.
Because of that will decrease note to 9.9,
French version would be awarded 6, because of that and exactly 3 details :
first, I saw the movie only in 16/9 format on DVD.
I wonder a 2.35 DVD version exists in this format I will bought again.
I reduced size on both TV and DVD reader, having the two traditional
top/bottom stripes. Effect is interesting, while I would a true large
format.
second, the French version I saw first because of a friend presence (She really impaired me until I said "SHUT UP, Please : I hate movie ratters!).
So, in the French spoken version (I think you have also that in America, while it's /almost/ wrong), unknowns voices are used by courtesy of, grump, Disney productions inc (tm)(R)(et j'en passel).
That's not a problem for Alice character herself, but the hat maker is really poorly rendered (regarding Mr Depp English "prestation").
I'm not aware of living actors who could do /exactly/ the drill (in fact, I usually don't mind an actor is currently alive or not) : the French version voices /are/ too young, with exceptions the queens. Also,
post-producing sound effects didn't sound like real (fr version).
Also, I think producers and adapters forgotten /situation/ :
England, 1865, is OK, England, +13years is /almost/ OK. Voicing age/outing from Alice initial situation is forgotten in (French spoken version) Wonderland.
Oh, by the way, I wear currently a 2010 man French "boudoir" cloth : a sponge one. And be during my recent life as mad as a the hatter.
