Alice in Costumeland and Legoland

Kind of late on the draw with this one. It's Colleen Atwood, the costume designer for Alice in Wonderland, talking about a bunch of the costumes from the movie.

 Tommy Williamson (a.k.a. GeekyTom) works for CafeFX as an effects artist where he worked on turning Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland into a 3D movie. After the wrap, Tommy built some of the characters from the movie out of LEGO bricks. Via

Glossary of Terms

Above, artist Camille Rose Garcia talks about her amazing illustrated version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, available here, on Amazon.

This is old news, really, but I just became aware of it by mistake. There is a glossary of terms used in the movie that apparently will be helpful for people to understand what characters are talking about. Some of these are obviously from the original literature, but not all by any measure.

New Wonderland Wednesday Video is up

As expected, a new "Wonderland Wednesday" trailer is up on the Disney official website. I've embedded the YouTube copy above. To get the original on Disney's website, you have to skip (or watch) the intro and then go to the video section. These are a little bitter-sweet because there really isn't any real new footage. We'll embed this as soon as it hits YouTube.

Wonderland Wednesdays on You Tube

Wonderland Wednesdays on You Tube. Walt Disney Studios UK has a high quality version of the trailer with Johnny Depp commentary that was released last week PLUS it says that if you subscribe, you will receive announcements of new clips to be released every Wednesday. I looked for the same in the regular Disney You Tube channel, but it looks like either my You Tube browsing talents are not up snuff, or it's only on Disney' UK channel.

Also, there are a bunch of sites with new Alice in Wonderland images - mostly of production art - here and here.

Lots of Alice Art and Let's Play

There is enough Alice in Wonderland art at this site to keep anyone occupied for hours. There is the inevitable Sir John Tenniel, but in addition there is fan art, photography, art from American McGee's Alice, and some NSFW art as well. All the art is posted with links back to the source, which is really nice. Posted above is Pool Of Tears, by Erin Kelso (aka bluefooted).

You kind of have to scroll down a lot to get to them, but here are pictures of Alice in Wonderland figurines that are pretty cool. These can be bought on Amazon in a four-pack, here: Alice in Wonderland 4-Pack Trading Figures

Let's Play: If you've ever been curious about American McGee's Alice, but aren't into video games, you can watch an expert gamer named L0rdVega play the entire thing on YouTube. It kind of feels like cheating, but there it is.

Alice In Wonderland Trailer Leak?

Superpunch has screengrabs from an Alice in Wonderland 2010 trailer which appears to be on YouTube, but which refuses to play for me citing copyright issues. Seeing as how today is supposed to be the release date for the Alice 2010 trailer, I'm sure we'll all see it soon. In the meantime, you can look at the stills from the trailer here. Mmmmmm. Cheshire goodness. Later note: It can be found here until Disney gets to them.

Speaking of the movie, I hope nobody is surprised that Johnny Depp's is the most popular Facebook army. See the next post for details...
