Where the flick decides that a chronological approach of telling the story is way to simple It starts out with Alice (obviously) getting thrown into wonderland, but that´s Series of Otomegames, a manga and most recently the movie this rewiew covers.Īs you already might or might not have guessed, the source material of the story is Lewis Carroll´s famous novel Alice´s Adventures in Wonderland, a fact which is rather unimportant as the shared points can be counted with one hand.īut now to the actual movie and be warned. Heart no Kuni no Alice or Alice in the Country of Hearts originally began as a Although it had a lot of potential, it did not deliver. Overall, I did not find the Heart no Kuni no Alice film enjoyable to watch. The art itself was quite nice, but cheesy music and cut scenes (such as the changing from day to night) ruined this for me slightly. Although these scenes may have been an attempt at artistic effect, they fell flat, particularly considering the rushed nature of the film (the pointless scenes easily could have been replaced with more plot-filled ones). turning over on themselves, or in one particular scene, characters were in an elevator for ten minutes with little to no dialogue between them. For example, in the opening, they continually showed cards There is also absolutely no character development, so if someone unfamiliar with the series were to watch, they would be utterly lost.Īlso, the film wastes a lot of time on pointless scenes. The scenes jump quickly and offer little explanation to the events going on. There is essentially no plot whatsoever throughout the course of this film. I throughly enjoyed reading the Heart no Kuni no Alice magna, and was very excited to watch the movie adaptation. I am a big fan of just about anything Alice in Wonderland related.
