Alice in Wonderland released in 2010 is an amazing visual film. The movie clip I have chosen is called, “Reunited”. This clip is focused on the reunion of Alice and the Mad Hatter after she thought the Mad Hatter was dead, due to the red queen wanting to take off his head. Mia Wasikowska plays the role of Alice Kingsleigh, Johnny Depp plays the role of the Mad Hatter, and Anne Hathaway plays the role of the white witch.
