The idea of Tim Burton taking on Lewis Carroll can be imagined on paper as a collaboration that promises to be as magical and inventive as each part of the equation, so it's more than a little surprising when Burton's take on Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" just doesn't work as well on-screen. To Burton's credit, he remains as faithful to Carroll's text as he was to Roald Dahl for "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," but in this case, that might be a bad thing, because it probably needed to be updated to work for modern audiences.
