The true three-dimensionality here is the old-fashioned kind -- Wasikowska's fully rounded performance. Throughout the technical razzle-dazzle, we keep returning to the pallor of that face, the gravity in those eyes.

A visually imaginative fairy tale that suffers slightly from its predictable course but still manages to wow at all the crucial moments.

Burton and Disney have found a glorious way to interpret fairy tales and fantasies.
