Where Can I Get Some Alice Around Here


Crystal S has some imaginative eye makeup inspired by the Cheshire Cat from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. Something you might wear to a party.

If this Alice in Wonderland game for the Android is what I think it is, I'm still OK without an Android phone.

Disney has announced the release date for the DVD: June 1. Here is a list of the special features.

Bonus Features:

Standard DVD:
Finding Alice – It’s all things Alice. This featurette includes Tim Burton’s vision for the characters, differences from the book and Disney’s version of Alice and how she evolves as both a character and actor as she takes an adventure through Wonderland.
The Mad Hatter – Audiences are provided with a deeper look into the world of the Mad Hatter. Check out Johnny Depp’s early sketches, make-up, costumes and how they digitally enhanced his eyes.
Effecting Wonderland – A behind-the-scenes piece on the different technologies used to create some of the most beloved characters in the film – Stayne, Tweedledee, Tweedledum, Bandersnatch and the Red Queen.

BLU-RAY:
Everything on the DVD plus:
The Futterwacken Dance – Futterwhat? Check out the making of the timeless dance called the Futterwacken.
The Red Queen – The creation of the Red Queen from start to finish, including early Tim Burton sketches showcasing costume designs, make-up and digital effects.

Alice in Wonderland Un-Anniversary Special Edition


On March 30 Disney will be releasing 2-disk "Special Un-Anniversary Edition" of it's 1951 animated version of Alice in Wonderland, which is the version that most people probably picture when someone mentions Alice in Wonderland as a movie. The DVD set will include new features, including an unreleased song, a deleted scene (Pig and Pepper), some featurettes, and a documentary. Especially interesting will be a featurette on the making of Alice in Wonderland. Of course, this release will also be remastered and restored. Get it here.

15 Alice in Wonderland Crafts and Recipes

Many thanks to adub3n who sent in a photo of this Cheshire Cat paper toy he made with his daughter from our model, available here. They did a really good job on it. I love the mysterious lighting.

Check out these cool Alice-inspired crafts projects. Included are cup-cake toppers, envelopes, Valentine's Day cards, edible teacups, bookmarks, bookplates, shrink charms, felt flowers, picture frames, stickers, and door hangers. Thanks to Nancie for the tip!

As we reported a couple days ago, Disney is reducing the time between the release of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland and when it becomes available on DVD and on-demand video. The theater chains are not pleased.

Friday is an Unbirthday



First up is an Etsy store which has some neat Alice in Wonderland prints, among other things.

If you're a real die-hard Disney fan, you might be interested in this article about the Blu-Ray DVD releases of Dumbo and Fantasia and how they've been juggled. At the very end is speculation on when Disney will be releasing both Alice 2010 and the 1951 versions on Blu-Ray. The author guesstimates that this might happen in August 2010. Apparently they call these Blu-Ray releases "Diamond Series".

Last, I just discovered this book called All Things Alice: The Wit, Wisdom, and Wonderland of Lewis Carroll. Inside are collected illustrations, quotes, recipes, letters, puzzles, games, and art all inspired by Alice in Wonderland. The author is Linda Sunshine, who also did All Things Oz.

Tuesday not Alice but Mickey Mouse

What! No Alice in Wonderland instead only Micky Mouse and friends in Wonderland released on DVD and reviewed here. Looks like it's for the younger set...

More Mia Wasikowska photos than you can shake a stick at here.


It's making me scratch my head: All the gossip sites are reporting that Kurt Cobain's teenage daughter, Francis Bean Cobain turned down the role of Alice in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland 2010. Reason stated: "Because she's going to college." Maybe they should add "Not an actress" to that?
