Alice In Wonderland Blu-Ray
“Alice In Wonderland” is another collaboration between Disney and director Tim Burton. Burton has taken the familiar “Alice” story, updated it, and made Alice 19 years old, on the verge of womanhood in Victorian England.

Some characters even insist that this Alice is the wrong Alice. Continue reading

The disc, even though it comes with a dvd copy, is totally bare bones; no extras at all, nada, zip, nothing. Gee, was this planned? Continue reading
