Books to Movies ~ Alice in Wonderland

ALICE IN WONDERLAND {2010}

I know this isn't where I normally review movies I watch (see This n That), but I was thinking as I went home after watching this movie (and seeing Avatar last Tuesday) that these amazing film directors (Tim Burton and James Cameron) must have read a lot of books growing up. They have such an incredible imaginations and the worlds they paint and create are so vivid, intense, magical, ethereal, dramatic (the list of superlatives goes on and on) that I have to believe that their imaginations conjured up these fantastical pictures from the images in their head as they read extraordinary literature over the years. It makes me want to re-read the book(s) again (Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass) which I'm pretty sure I read as a small child.

I'll add more to this article, but I just wanted to get down my initial thoughts while they were still in my head.
