Alice in Wonderland is great - this movie isn't.

Rating: Null/10 (30 October 2003)

I don't get it.
The animation - pretty good (but there is much better out there - obvious example "Kill Bill vol ")
The Story - Muddled, pointless, totally hurried and, because of this, two dimensional.
This film is totally episodic and lacks any cohesion. None of the fantasy elements/ characters seem to have any link to one another or the story nor can they be seen to act as a metaphor for anything - either taken as a whole or on their own. Characters motives are completely at random and lack credibility - they start off afraid/dismissive of this ignorant insignificant little girl then all rely on her to solve their problems - what?
Utter gibberish executed well is occasionally very entertaining (Alice/Terry Gilliam films for example) - not in this case.
A bad episode of pokemon
