Bad:
I have to agree–too much bad scenery CGI. The creature animation was great, and some action scenes like Jafar was not bad on his carpet.
Red Queen, she definitely lacked the presence and sinister snark that Lana brings the Evil Queen, but it is not just that she looked like a little girl playing dress up. That could be chilling too as we saw with the playful cheeky tone Robbie Kay gave PP. She just did not seem scary. I was sorry Jafar did not just kill her to establish some shock value and boss attitude for him.
Hokey marshmallow joke.
No mention of Knave struggling with cursed identity (did he not just wake up?)
Good:
Jafar. He had the presence and held the villain spot with everything I felt the RQ lacked.
Rabbit: He was animated well and full of personality–perfect voice choice.
Chessire Cat. Same, though it seemed like more of a fun sequence than setting up some dramatic arc as with the rabbit so bit disappointed that this character was more fluff.
Reference to Hatter and his house.
Alice & Cyrus: Awwww
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
