Hatter, after sticking his finger in an electric socket

Johnny Depp as Alice's Mad Hatter

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH. NIGHTMARES. NIGHTMARES, I TELL YOU.

(Also, um, I hear there will be older!Alice/Hatter ship, because it's not so much a remake as a sequel of sorts. Between that and the picture I think I need to go lie down now and then attempt to pick up the shattered pieces of my childhood.)

...really??? Oh my. I'm not sure what I think about that. I mean, the actress is 18 but I hadn't heard what age Alice was supposed to be in this. Ergh.

I do, however, adore Alice's costume (http://infdaily.fusebox.com/2008/09/our-first-look-at-tim-burtons-alice-in-wonderland.html). Especially the coat. And the shoes.

Well, that's one thing I've read. The other is that it's uber-faithful to the books. But then why wouldn't Alice be twelve, and why would the Hatter's role have expanded enough to give it to a celebrity like Depp? I'm not sure what to think. Aside from thinking the Hatter costume makes him look like a drag queen, anyway.

Me too.

I *love* the coat, but I am not sold on the skirt that looks to be made entirely of ricrack.
