Alice is macabre, haunting, and very true to the spirit of Carroll's book, exploring the marvels and fears of a child's imagination.

Svankmajer's surrealist adaptation is a welcome antidote to the cute and cuddly Disneyfication of Carroll's iconic tale.

Though [Jan Svankmajer] strips away all sweetness and light, he does not violate Lewis Carroll's story.

A masterpiece of surrealism that's more Tim Burton than Walt Disney.

As disturbing as this is, it's also a fascinating spin on a well-worn tale.

At once far more faithful to its source material than the popular Disney version, and farther from it in tone than one might ever imagine.

This production is not a laugh a minute, but it's definitely an unusual and impressive film.

Not necessarily for young kids, this is a surrealist version with a great deal of attention accorded to objects.
