Sure he will. That man doesn't know how to respect a story.

Well, there's always a first time :) I don't know that I've ever actually read the story. I know the basic outline I guess. I'm sure it'll be surreal if nothing else.

Was checking out the writer, Woolverton. Scripted Beauty and the Beast, The Incredible Journey, The Lion King...

Tim Burton redid the story of Sleepy Hollow and that movie completely kicked ass. So I don't really care how much he messes with this. I just hope he makes it where Wonderland is real because everything being a dream in the book made that book SUCK.

I'm excited. I like Tim Burton's style. I think Alice's Adventures in Wonderland lends itself to Burton's style very well.

I LOVE what Burton does to movies, I am really excited to see how he does this. I think that he does a great job with his movies and I am the one in a million person who personally liked his take on the Chocolate factory more than the original movie. Whenever I say that people die because they dont understand how I could betray the classic but I just like his take better. So if you can't tell HUGE Burton fan over here!!

I'm kinda with Vil on this one.

I hated what he did with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Alice in Wonderland was my favorite Disney movie and I love the original story too. I hope he doesn't screw it up too badly. It's such a good story.
