For the 1951 animated film, see Alice in Wonderland. Alice in Wonderland is a 2010 fantasy adventure film directed by Tim Burton. It is a live-action extension to the Lewis Carroll novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. The film uses a technique of combining live-action and CGI animation. In the film, Alice is now 19 years old and goes back to Underland, a place she previously visited 13 years ago. She is told that she is the only one that can slay the Jabberwocky, a dragon controlled by the Red Queen. Burton said the original Wonderland story was always about a girl wandering around from one character to another and she never felt a connection emotionally, so he wanted to make it feel more like a story than a series of events. He doesn't see this as a sequel to previous films or a re-imagining. It premiered in London at the Odeon Leicester Square on February 25, 2010. It was released in Australia and New Zealand on March 4, 2010, and in the United Kingdom and the United States on March 5 through Walt Disney Pictures in Disney Digital 3-D and IMAX 3-D, as well as in regular theaters. The film was a huge box office success, one of the first films to gain $1 billion, and set a trend of "adult" fairy tales amongst them Oz the Great and Powerful, and Into the Woods (which also featured Johnny Depp and Frances De La Tour), while also reigniting the trend of live-action fairy tales and fantasy films of its animated classics starting with Maleficent, Cinderella (which also featured Helena Bonham Carter). Despite this, it received mixed reviews by critics and audiences. Many of which compared it to Walt Disney's animated film of the same name, claiming it lacked the nonsense, illogical charm that both the book and the animated film was so famous for.

Plot; The story begins in London in 1858[1] with Charles Kingsleigh trying to convince some men to approve his idea of venturing farther to Rangoon, Bangkok and Jakarta where he can set up trading posts. His talk is interrupted by his 6-year old daughter Alice, who is frightened by an occurring nightmare. Once her father brings her back to bed, she tells him she saw many strange creatures including a dodo bird, a white rabbit wearing a waistcoat, a smiling cat, and a blue caterpillar. Alice wonders if she has gone mad, which Charles responds that she is. He tells her as a secret that all the best people are mad. Thirteen years later in 1871,[1] after her father's death, Alice attends a party with her mother Helen at the Ascot Estate. Alice learns that it's an engagement party for herself and Hamish, a snobby man Alice dislikes. She begins to see a white rabbit in a waistcoat and during Hamish's proposal, Alice follows the White Rabbit. She falls down a rabbit hole, full of objects floating in the air, into a room full of many doors. She tries to open them, only to see that they are all locked. After finding a key on a table and trying it on each door, she finds only the smallest door can be opened with the key. Alice notices the table now has a "Drink Me" bottle on top of it. Believing everything that is happening to be a dream, she drinks some of the bottle's liquid and then she started to shrink while her dress kept its size. Alice shrank until she was 2 feet tall and started trying to get out of her dress, then she managed to get out and finds herself in another dress her size and tried to open the door. But the door is locked again after it closed itself and she finds the key she left on the table. Alice attempts to retrieve it while unknown voices comment if she's the wrong or right Alice. Alice finds an "Eat Me" cake on the table. She takes a bite and grows to 20 feet. She picks up the key and drinks the whole "Drink Me" bottle to shrink back again. She unlocks the door and enters it into a strange place. Alice finds herself in a vast garden residing in Underland. Exploring it, she runs into Nivins McTwisp the White Rabbit, Mallymkun the Dormouse, Tweedledum, Tweedledee, and Uilleam the Dodo. The group take Alice to Absolem the Caterpillar, where they consult a calendar-like scroll detailing every day in Underland known as the Oraculum. Eventually, on Frabjous day, Alice has to slay the Jabberwocky, but Alice--not wanting to slay the dragon--attempts to assure them she's not the one. Absolem comments that Alice is "Not hardly Alice." Before they can return Alice to her home, the group is ambushed by the Bandersnatch and Armored Cards. The White Rabbit and the Dodo get captured along with several flamingos. Alice, who's pursued by the Bandersnatch, stands her ground. The Dormouse saves Alice by stabbing out the Bandersnatch's eye, but he manages to injure Alice's arm in the process. Alice and the Tweedle Boys carry on until the Jub Jub Bird captures the Tweedle Boys. Meanwhile, the Red Queen screams out in anger that someone stole three of her tarts. After finding out it was one of her Frog Servants, she orders him to be executed. The Red Queen informs a fish servant to collect the frog's children so she can eat them on toast with caviar. She is informed by Ilosovic Stayne, the Knave of Hearts, that Alice will slay the Jabberwocky on Frabjous Day, as shown on the Oraculum he found, unless they stop her. With the Red Queen's order to find Alice, the Knave assigns Bayard the Bloodhound to pursue her scent for his imprisoned wife and pups, and his own freedom. The wandering Alice encounters Chessur, the Cheshire Cat, who bandages her arm and escorts her to the tea party. Alice arrives with Chessur and meets Tarrant Hightopp, the Mad Hatter, along with Thackery Earwicket, the March Hare and Mallymkun. The Hatter becomes angry at the Cheshire Cat, blaming him for deserting everyone in Underland on the day it was seized control by the Red Queen until Mallymkun shouts the Hatter's name to calm him down. The Knave of Hearts arrives at the tea party with a troop of cards and Bayard. The Hatter quickly shrinks Alice to 6-inches tall and hides her in a teapot. He manages to persuade Bayard to not reveal Alice's location. Bayard leads the Knave and his troop away. The March Hare suggests that Alice should be safe with the White Queen in Marmoreal. Tarrant begins his journey with Alice on his hat. At a burned abandoned town, Tarrant tells his sad story of how he lost his clan there and the beginning of the Red Queen's reign on Horunvendush Day with the loss of the Vorpal Sword that is used for slaying the Jabberwocky and nothing else. With Bayard finding Alice's scent at where they are, the cards begin to track Tarrant and Alice down to a river. As a last resort, Tarrant throws his hat with Alice on it across the river and lets himself be captured without resistance. Alice decides to sleep under the hat for the night. The next morning, Alice is found by Bayard. In repayment for the events that led to the capture of the Hatter, she tells Bayard to take her to the Red Queen's castle in Salazen Grum with the Hatter's hat and crosses a moat full of severed heads. Bayard throws Tarrant's hat over the wall. While the Red Queen is playing croquet, Alice frees a tied porcupine used for the game and is found by the White Rabbit, who gives her some more Upelkuchen cake to make her grow big again. But Alice eats too much of it and grows to 8.5 feet, her dress getting ripped apart in the process. The Red Queen sees Alice with her court behind the bushes. To avoid suspicion, Alice lies to her saying that her name is Um from Umbridge and the people in Umbridge make fun of her for her large height. The Red Queen buys Alice's story, welcomes her to her court and orders someone to find some clothes for her. After receiving a red and black dress to wear, Alice soon finds herself at the Red Queen's side and the imprisoned Mad Hatter's appearance. Eventually, the Red Queen is persuaded by Tarrant to become her hatter. In Marmoreal, Bayard manages to arrive at the White Queen's castle where he is greeted by the White Queen herself. He delivers the news that Alice is currently residing in the Red Queen's castle with guilt for letting her go there. The White Queen assures him that the castle is exactly where Alice will find the Vorpal Sword and tells him to rest. Alice is able to retrieve Tarrant's hat with the porcupine's help and returns it to him in the Red Queen's dressing room. When he becomes furious at how he has to make hats for her, Alice calms him down the same way Mallymkun did at the tea party. He asks her if he has gone mad. She repeats her late father's secret from her childhood to Tarrant and puts his hat back on his head. During a conversation between the Red Queen and Knave in her bed chamber on how everyone loves her sister instead of her, Nivens retrieves the Oraculum without being spotted by them while the Monkey Servants stay quiet, not letting his actions be known. With his help, Alice locates the Vorpal Sword in the pen of the Bandersnatch where it is chained inside. After retrieving its eye from Mallymkun, Alice makes her way to the Bandersnatch's pen when the Knave corners her. He confesses that he likes her for her height, but she rejects him and manages to get away. One of the Red Queen's courtiers saw everything that happened while passing by. Alice returns the Bandersnatch its eye, preventing it from harming her when her return woke it up, and finds the locked case to the Vorpal Sword. Her wound begins to burn up and she falls unconscious. While Tarrant is hatting the Red Queen, she hears the news about the Knave’s advancement towards Alice from the courtier that saw them, her face turning red with fury towards the Knave. Alice wakes up the next morning to find the Bandersnatch watching her. She notices a key to the case around his neck and retrieves the key. The Bandersnatch repays Alice by licking her wound to disinfect it as a sign of friendship. It lets her salvage the Vorpal Sword without stopping her from leaving. The Knave attempts to lie on how it is Um (Alice) that's obsessed with him, which the Queen believes and orders the execution of Um. Alice returns to Tarrant and Mallymkun, only to be charged right away by the Knave for unlawful seduction when he and the cards arrive to arrest her. The Knave notices the Vorpal sword and tries to snatch it. The Hatter holds the Knave and cards off, but Mallymkun blurts out, "Run, Alice!" The Knave, now knowing Alice's true identity, orders the cards to get her. Alice runs out to the courtyard, but is ambushed by the cards and the Knave until the Bandersnatch breaks free of his chain and escapes with Alice in tow. Bayard leads them back to Marmoreal. Alice arrives at the White Queen's castle, presenting the Vorpal Sword to her. The White Queen places it with an armor to complete it and shrinks Alice back down to her original size with Pishsalver. Alice once again meets with Absolem, who replies about his earlier comment that she was not Alice back then, but is more like Alice now. Back in Salazen Grum, Tarrant and Mallymkum are held in a cell, the latter being locked up in a cage hanging near the front of it, near Bayard's wife and pups. Chessur morphs into the cell and wonders if he can have Tarrant's hat after the execution. On the morning of Tarrant and Mallymkun's execution, the Red Queen's executioner severs Tarrant's head, but his body disappears with only the hat floating in the air. Tarrant was substituted by Chessur and the real Hatter is up with the Red Queen. He reveals that all the Red Queen's courtiers are phonies and makes a speech for all those willing to rebel against the "Bloody Big Head" to rise and escape to the White Queen's side. In retaliation, the Red Queen orders the release of the Jub Jub Bird, which terrorizes the people. She tells the Knave to prepare the Jabberwocky for battle as it is time to visit her sister. Tarrant manages to escape to Marmoreal with Mallymkun, the Tweedle Boys, Nivens, and Bayard's wife Bielle and their pups. Bayard reunites with his family and Chessur returns his hat to the Hatter. To find a champion to battle against the Jabberwocky, many propose, but the Oraculum held by Nivins still shows Alice as the slayer. Alice, not wanting to fight, runs off into the castle where she once again encounters Absolem, the latter preparing to go into pupa stage. He chats with her, and Alice finds out that "Underland" is what she mistakenly heard as "Wonderland" during her first visit. She realizes that her dream of Underland was really a memory of her visit to there and Underland does exist along with everything in it. Before he becomes a pupa with the possibility of seeing her again in another life, Absolem tells her to hold on to the Vorpal Sword and bids her farewell. Frabjous day has finally arrived with both Red and White armies prepared for an epic battle. Alice dons the armor and Vorpal sword as the White Queen's champion. Both armies arrive at a chessboard-like battlefield for the battle between Alice and the Jabberwocky. He finally reveals himself to Alice, who strikes first by slicing off his tongue. Before doing so, she tries to reassure herself by remembering six impossible things her late father told her before breakfast, which gives her the growing intention to proceed fighting. As the battle between Alice and the Jabberwocky carries on, he gains the upper hand. Tarrant assaults the Jabberwocky, leading both armies to battle. Alice climbs some ruins of a castle and continues to fight the Jabberwocky. Tarrant faces off against the Knave, easily dominating him. Mallymkun and Bayard are assaulted by the Jub Jub Bird, only to be crushed by a catapulted boulder that is accidentally fired by one of the Red Queen's cards. Alice manages to get on the back of the Jabberwocky, where she is launched into the air, and then cuts off the Jabberwocky’s head while shouting "OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!" Everyone witnesses the defeat of the Jabberwocky. The Red Queen orders her troops to kill Alice, but they no longer follow her since the Jabberwocky has been slain. The troops and the Armored Chess Pieces drop their weapons. Chessur takes the crown from the Red Queen and puts it on the White Queen's head, crowning her as the queen of Underland once again. She banishes her sister to the Outlands along with the Knave. Unable to live with the Red Queen, the Knave attempts to kill her, but is quickly stopped by Tarrant. As the Red Queen and The Knave are carried off, Tarrant does his famous Futterwacken dance. The White Queen collects the blood of the Jabberwocky in a vial, which will send Alice back to the human world. Reminding the Hatter that she will return and receiving her final farewell from him, Alice drinks the blood. Upon returning to the human world, Alice finds herself climbing up and out of the rabbit hole in the same dress she is wearing for the engagement party, only to look a bit dirty on her dress from when she fell down the hole. She returns to the party where everyone is waiting for her return without revealing what really happened to her. Having found confidence in herself following her adventure in Underland, Alice declines Hamish's proposal while adding that his digestion is troubled. She tells everyone else things that are secretly reminiscent to her adventure and accepts Lord Ascot's offer to become his apprentice, but not before shocking or delighting everyone with a brief version of the Hatter's Futterwacken. Alice begins her voyage to China with her mother, her older sister Margaret and Lord Ascot seeing her off. A blue butterfly lands on Alice's shoulder, which she smiles and replies, "Hello, Absolem." Absolem then flies off, ending the movie.

Funfacts; The film's official novelization was written by Tui T. Sutherland. Her sister, Kari Sutherland, wrote the novelization for its sequel. In the novelization, the prologue is set in 1855 when Alice is 9 years old. The rest of the story takes place 10 years later in 1865, rather than 13 years later as in the film. The novelization of the film's sequel establishes the story takes place three years after the first, in 1868 (and presumably 1869) (making Alice around 22 or 23 years old). However, the actual film establishes that is set in 1874-75; however, Alexandra Ascot still claims that Alice has been traveling for three years[19] (presumably immediately after the end of the first film, assuming Alice had not returned home and left again more than once), which would retroactively set the first film in 1871, and its prologue in 1858 instead. The novelization's setting the main events of the story in 1865 is a reference to the publication date of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The film being retroactively being set in 1871 sets it in the same year as the publication of Through the Looking-Glass. The film's prologue is set in 1858[1] when Alice is 6 years old and had already visited Underland for the first time. In the original book (published in 1865), Alice was 7 years old when she visited Wonderland, and 7-and-a-half during the events of the second book.
