Alice in Wonderland

I really enjoyed Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland. I had seen the disney version but not this version. I liked the creepy aspects Tim Burton picked up on that disney left out. I think it enhanced the story line because this is a creepy story. No one dreams of falling down a rabbit hole and getting harassed by the queen of hearts. I have not seen many of Tim Burton's films so I am not very familiar with a lot of his different filming techniques, but I definitely noticed how he used lighting. It was obvious when he was trying to make some things look darker and more mysterious versus when he was trying to show something good. I especially liked how Burton portrayed Wonderland. It was still colorful, but very mysterious. I think Disney missed out on a significant part of wonderland by making it almost a place you wanted to go. Burton really made it a place that looked cool, but once you got familiar with it, you realized how dark and twisted it is.
