(I refer you back to the Monty Python parallel--
Remember back when we didn't know what Cambridge-spawned satirical British comedy was like, and thought it was, like, really weird?...People talking about dead parrots, 'n stuff?)

And how can you say Burton got it wrong?

Well, I won't know until it opens how much of it he got wrong, I was only counting as far as what we see in the trailer:
- The Red Queen was NOT the one who said "Off with their heads"
- Tim seemed to know that there was a pig somewhere in the book, but just wasn't sure where or how,
- The White Queen in the book was considerably older than Anne Hathaway, and demonstratably a bit dimmer

But the rest of it can be passed off as his just making the whole darn thing up.
With help from "Beauty & the Beast" screenwriter Linda Woolverton, and lord, don't get me started on book-faithfulness discussions about THAT one.
