Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland Shrine
Alice, now 17, attends a party at a Victorian estate only to find she is about to be proposed to in front of hundreds of snooty society types. She runs off, following the white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland, a place she visited 10 years before yet doesn't remember. Wonderland was a peaceful kingdom until the Red Queen overthrew her sister. The creatures of Wonderland, ready to revolt, wait for Alice to help them.
Tim Burton (Edward Scissorhands, Beetlejuice) attempts to work his gothic magic over one of the best loved stories of all time... Lewis Carroll's 'Alice In Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There', which first told the story of a young girl, who after following a rabbit down a hole, is transported to a strange world. Whilst the disney version of the tale relied on sweetness and light to delight the audience, Burton fans can be sure to look out for the same cartoon traits as earlier masterpiece 'The Nightmare Before Christmas'.
The film will be released in Disney Digital 3-D and IMAX 3-D, as well as 2-D.
Tim Burton and Helena Bonham Carter's children will also have cameos in the film

Cast
Mia Wasikowska is Alice Kingsley. (Tim Burton states: "We met a lot of people, but she just had that certain kind of emotional toughness, standing her ground in a way that makes her kind of an older person but with a younger person's mentality.")
Johnny Depp is The Mad Hatter
Anne Hathaway is The White Queen (Her character does not require digital manipulation. Hathaway summed up her character with a caption on a magnet of Happy Bunny holding a knife; "Cute but psycho. Things even out." Her character also doesn't walk, she floats. She's very eccentric and over dramatic, and just as mad in her way as the Hatter.)
Michael Sheen is The White Rabbit
Helena Bonham Carter is The Red Queen (Carter's head will be increased in size by three times on screen. Her character is a combination of the Red Queen and the Queen of Hearts and likes nothing better than to scream, "Off with their heads!".)
Alan Rickman is The Caterpillar (Rickman was filmed while recording his voice in a studio, and his face will be composited onto a computer-generated character.)
