Alice in Wonderland

Story by Jack Foley

TIM Burton’s epic 3D fantasy-adventure Alice in Wonderland is to get a Royal World Premiere on February 25 in London.

The star-studded event will be held in aid of The Prince’s Foundation for Children & The Arts.

The film’s all star cast – including Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Anne Hathaway as The White Queen, Helena Bonham Carter as The Red Queen, Australian rising star Mia Wasikowska as Alice, and UK comedian Matt Lucas as Tweedledum and Tweedledee – are expected to attend.

They will be joined by Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall.

Also expected to step onto this majestic red carpet will be some of the impressive British acting talent providing the voices for Wonderland’s amazing menagerie of inhabitants, including Stephen Fry (playing the Cheshire Cat), Alan Rickman (playing Absolem the caterpillar), Michael Sheen (playing The White Rabbit), Paul Whitehouse (playing The March Hare), Timothy Spall (playing Bayard), Barbara Windsor (playing the Dormouse) and Christopher Lee (playing the Jabberwocky).

The Prince’s Foundation for Children & the Arts aims to remove barriers so that all UK children have the opportunity to discover the arts as a valuable and enjoyable part of life.

Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is inspired by Lewis Carroll’s beloved Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and is brought to the big screen in ground-breaking Disney Digital 3D™ and features stunning avant-garde visuals.

The film sees Alice embarking on a fantastical journey to find her true destiny and end the Red Queen’s reign of terror and marks a return to Disney for director Tim Burton.

Incorporating characters, story elements and the central themes from both of Carroll’s books, Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” features a new adventure as 19-year-old Alice returns to Wonderland for the first time since she was a child with no memory of her previous adventures there.

Alice in Wonderland is released across the UK on March 5 on 2D, Disney Digital 3D and IMAX® 3D screens.
