- DirectorNick WillingStarsTina MajorinoWhoopi GoldbergRobbie ColtraneAlice falls down a rabbit hole, and finds herself in Wonderland, a fantasy land of strange characters and ideas.An adaption of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll.
There's only one problem with this movie, and it's a big one - the Cheshire Cat. For one thing, he's played by Whoopi Goldberg. He's a male cat in the book and in this movie they use male pronouns for him as well. To be fair, the books are gender-bendy. In the books (and in the 2010 Tim Burton movie), both female and male pronouns are used for Alice. Another problem with Whoopi is that she doesn't use a British accent. But the biggest problem is the CG. The Cheshire Cat looks like the grotesque cats from Cats (2019). The rest of the special effects in the movie look fine, however.
