Alice in Wonderland: Dive in Wonderland Film Review

Jan 18, 12:00 anime

This modernized film of Alice in Wonderland is pleasant in places, but it's too mediocre to justify a cinema release. ― Maybe you've had the experience of waking in the early morning, turning on the TV, hopping channels, and stumbling on a kids' fantasy cartoon that you've not seen before; not a TV episode but a stand-alone cartoon special or film.

anime

Whoever Steals This Book is, unfortunately, one of those films that is 100% style over substance. ― Whoever Steals This Book is a film filled to the brim with imagination. Mifuyu's adventure takes her into wonderfully realized storybook worlds. There's a Japanese fairy tale filled with surreal visuals, a noir detective story portrayed with a black and white color palette and film grain over the top, ...
