Alice in Wonderland - Again

• PRINTED BOOK, 1865
• CEL ANIMATION MOVIE, 1951
• LIVE ACTION/ ANIMATION/ 3-D MOVIE, 2010

Alice in Wonderland, 1951 was one of the Walt Disney Company's least successful animation movies taking in less than 15% of the all-release domestic box office of Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs.  With the Tim Burton directed version scheduled for a March 5, 2010 release, it looks like Disney may get it right this time around.

The story of Alice's adventures were first told by the Oxford mathematician Charles Dodgson to Alice Liddel, the daughter of the head of Dodgson's college, then published in novel form in 1865 under the author's pseudonym Lewis Carroll.  The Disney 1951 film followed the adventures in the book centered around Alice as a young girl. Now age 19, can Alice go back down the rabbit hole and have it be as much fun as the book?
