Hamilton Nolan · 12/16/09 11:49AMAlice in Wonderland Uses Its CGI Power for Good, Not Evil
Brian Moylan · 12/16/09 11:44AMThough this two-minute trailer contains many of the same sequences as the first one, today's version is much cleaner and crisper.

Now, Alice teams up with Johnny Depp's Mad Hatter (really, did anyone think he wasn't going to kill this role?) to fight for the nice White Queen (Anne Hathaway in Glinda the Good Witch drag, if that's a compliment) and restore the kingdom.
