Few but literary fans know about the surname of Alice in the novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. Fewer still know who Mia Wasikowska is. Well, that might not be for too long because Australian actress, Mia Wasikowska, is now Alice - Alice Kingsley to be exact - in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland.While the character Alice, based on the novels of Carroll, has been associated with different surnames, with Liddel being at the top of the list (that's actually the surname of the girl thought to have inspired the character), Wasikowska still has to get a movie associated with her. Well, it would be safe to assume that Alice in Wonderland is that movie.
While still a Disney movie, this Alice in Wonderland version by Tim Burton takes the classic to another level of characterization, design and interpretation. It being in 3D also adds to it's being much-anticipated. With an Alice that's fresh and adult, compared to the original depictions of Disney and illustrators, this is one movie that will take Mia Wasikowska to new levels of stardom. The trailer already gives us only a peek at what she's got to show. There's definitely more of her talent to experience.
If you think her name is hard to remember, don't worry, it's likely to become as familiar to everyone as Schwarzenegger after Alice in Wonderland!
What if Alice fell onto your tabletop or book case instead of the rabbit hole? This is how she would look like, then as a mini maquette hand-painted resin ornament. Just 5 inchess tall, cute and accompanied by White Rabbit as a court announcer (or whatever you call that), it's a perfect complement to your best-loved classic books.
