Comment: Some things just seem right the moment you hear them, and the words Tim Burton and Alice in Wonderland being used in the same sentence qualifies. The movie, written by Linda Woolverton (The Lion King), will mix actors and CGI (in 3-D, naturally), and is not due for release until next March, but Disney have released a few images to whet our appetites. The cast seem perfect for their roles (Matt Lucas as Tweedledee/Tweedledum, and Stephen Fry as the Cheshire Cat are particularly inspired), and we're glad to see a relative unknown, Australian Mia Wasikowska (from Greg Mclean’s Rogue [2007], which starred Sam Worthington), cast as Alice, instead of the early-rumoured Lindsay Lohan.
