    Alice in Wonderland Empty Alice in Wonderland

    The other day my brother brought up the question of he wonders how Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland does in comparison to the Disney version from 1951. I told him I don't think it compares well at all because in Disney's version, Alice is a little girl going to Wonderland for the first time, in Burton's version, she is 19 and going BACK there.

    I've never seen the Burton remake, and I don't intend to. I just recently saw the Disney version for the first time and I loved it.

    How about everybody else here? Which versions have you seen and which do you like?

    I'm going with Disney this time (unlike Sleepy Hollow).

    I grew up with the Disney version and it was an enjoyable kid movie. The newer one probably would appeal more to adolescents and I also enjoyed it as well. Both fantasy, both distortions of Lewis Carroll's writing (combining Through The Looking Glass with Alice in Wonderland). So, by being a purist you sort of limit yourself.

    I like to watch movies free-standing without comparing them to other derivative works like the original book, play or other movie. With books and plays it is a different medium and with other movies - sometimes it is good to have a remake, sometimes you wonder why they bothered (such as The Wolf Man).

    Believe it or not I have the new one and have not watched it yet.

    I can believe it, I buy movies all the time and don't get around to watching them for years. That's something that's been going on most of my life, when I was about 8, my mother got me one of those Feature Films for Family tapes, Willy the Sparrow, and I didn't watch it for months, and she asked why I didn't like it, then I finally put it in and watched it and I about wore that tape out. And I STILL have movies I bought last year or early this year and haven't taken the time to pop in the VCR yet.

    I have so many movies on my shelf that I have bought and have not opened yet. During this time when I was recuperating from my broken ankle I promised myself that I was going to watch a lot of them. I never opened up one of the yet LOL. I have 4 seasons of Supernatural on DVD and have not watched a single one yet. I just like to know that I have it in case I want to watch it.
