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

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

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

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

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