Tim Burton’s take on this sequel to the classic Alice In Wonderland stories is a wonderful adventure through fantasy-land with 19-year-old Alice the heroine played by Australian new-comer Mia Wasikowska.

There are plenty of laughs to be had thanks to the brilliant casting of Matt Lucas (of Little Britain) as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, Helena Bonham Carter as the hilariously loopy Red Queen and Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter.

Aaah, Johnny Depp… From Edward Scissorhands to Captain Jack Sparrow his interpretations are always intensely unique and well developed. This time Johnny is truly in his element as he disappears behind the several different personalities of the colourful Mad Hatter.
