Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is to analyse Tim Burton’s film Alice in Wonderland (2010) as exploiting Joseph Campbell’s model of the hero’s journey. Burton, as well as the screenwriter, Linda Wolvertoon, treated the original works by Lewis Carroll (1865, 1871) only as a starting point to present their own vision. In the presented considerations, the authors propose the interpretation of the film incarnation of Alice as a mythical heroine who must gain self-awareness and undergo an internal metamorphosis – a transgression from a lost girl into a brave warrior for her own autonomy.
