In the film, Alice is now nineteen years old and accidentally returns to Underland (misheard by Alice and believed to be called Wonderland), a place she visited thirteen years previously. She is told that she is the only one who can slay the Jabberwocky, a dragon-like creature controlled by the Red Queen who terrorizes Underland's inhabitants. Burton said the original Wonderland story was always about a girl wandering around from one weird character to another and he never felt a connection emotionally, so he wanted to make it feel more like a story than a series of events. He does not see this as a sequel to previous films, nor as a re-imagining.[4] It premiered in London at the Odeon Leicester Square on February 25, 2010, and was released in Australia on March 4, 2010, and the United States and the United Kingdom on March 5, 2010, through IMAX 3D and Disney Digital 3D, as well as in traditional theaters.
In addition to being Burton's highest grossing film, Alice in Wonderland spent three weeks as the #1 movie in the United States, is currently the highest grossing film of 2010, and currently ranks as the fifth highest-grossing film of all time.[5] Despite its short theatrical-release window, it is also only the sixth film ever to cross the $1-billion mark in worldwide grosses, in addition to also being the first picture to do so without a PG-13 rating. It is also the second film produced and released by Walt Disney Pictures, as well as the only springtime release, to accomplish this feat
