In the newly released 3D Alice in Wonderland movie, Tim Burton takes us back into the rabbit hole .

The movie is based on Lewis Carol’s Alice novels and has a few twists here and there making it different from the original version. Burton’s latest film extends the story to something we have never seen before and is full of life and surprises.

The cast includes “In Treatment” star Mia Wasikowska as Alice Kingsley, with ‘Pirates of the Caribbean” hottie Johnny Depp quiet aptly as the Mad Hatter, and “Pricess Diaries'” Anne Hathaway as the White Queen and also Helena Bonham- Carter.
