That's completely understandable. A DVD release after just 90 days? Does Disney not have much faith in the movie?

I'm going to see it. Just don't know when yet.

Has anyone seen it yet?

Yes I saw it!! Amazing!!! He realy stuck to alot of things in the book. It made me really happy! Best film of the year so far.

Wow, GDFreak, that's some high praise!
Alice in Wonderland was one of the very first books I read as a child. It disturbed me, somehow, in a way I couldn't put into words. Later in life I learned that Lewis Carroll was a pedophile with a little girl fetish. His real name, BTW, was Charles Dodgson. One figure from the book that intrigued me was the Dodo Bird. They were still alive when Dodgson wrote the book. In fact, the Dodo was a caricature of Dodgson. He had a speech impediment, a terrible stutter. He would often introduce himself as "Do-do-dodgson". Did the Dodo figure in the movie very much? And how did they do it, a CG Image?

The Dodo was mentioned quite a bit, but it only appeared for a few scenes.

But anyway, I thought this movie was wonderful. One of the best movies I have ever seen, and I would recommend watching it.
