In the heady days of the mid-2000s, Tim Burton was in high demand, and it was decided he'd head the newest adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland. Tim, who admitted having "no personal connection" to the original text, decided to use the film as a ground-up reimagining of the story - a hero's journey with magical swords and ancient prophecies and a strong moral message about... following orders? Ultimately we wound up with a film lacking any real identity, confused in its own message, and somehow less feminist than something written in the late 1800s.

But I'm getting ahead of myself. Off we trek, into the world of Wonderland.
