Alice in Wonderland

 How did I feel about it? Well, I did fall asleep. Why? It just doesn't hold your attention as a movie and I think that's for two reasons. The first reason is that there's not really any plot to Alice in Wonderland-it just happens. Strange things happen to Alice, she falls asleep, she wakes up and that's it. The movie seemed to be pretty much more or less what happens in the book. It's really disjointed, and I don't really know how you can make a good movie out of that book.  If you go into this story with the idea that it's a normal plot with a beginning middle and end, it's not going to work because it's not a normal story, so that was the first problem with it. The second problem with it is more of a Disney problem than a material problem. The one thing that kind of separates this movie from other Disney movies that went before it is the palate of the colors. It is a lot brighter, there's a lot of bright blue, a lot of bright colors.  In this movie the colors are really bright and that's the only thing that you can say in its defense.  If you're going to try and make it into a movie it really needs to be more psychedelic, and I think that's the disappointing part of this film. Previous to this movie in Disney films there are a lot of great animated moments, even in Cinderella, there's this moment where she's looking in the soap bubbles and in the bubbles is her image, and it's this really imaginative way of portraying how she's feeling and in this there's nothing like that. In this film, the animation is literally what happens in the book.  It's too literal, and you could do so many things like when she gets big she could do crazy things, crazy animation. I think ultimately this is a boring movie which tries to stay faithful to its source material, but by staying faithful to its source material it lacks any kind of imaginative approach to animation.
