The first ever film version of Lewis Carroll’s tale, directed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow and released in 1903, has just been restored by the BFI.

Tim Burton’s new 3D version of ‘Alice in Wonderland‘ is due for release on the 5th March, after a successful resolution to the squabble between Disney and the cinema chains over DVD release dates.  I’m very excited to see it, especially after today’s glowing review in the The Times.  C’mon it’s Tim Burton directing ‘Alice in Wonderland‘ – how can you resist!  I’m booking my seat at the imax right now.
