Wonderland

After much anticipation, the day is finally upon us: today is, as I have decided to call it, Wonderland day! The day Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland is released! To say I’m nothing less than bouncing off the walls would be an understatement. The Alice books were two of my childhood favourites growing up, and I always look forward to film interpretations of them. (I think my favourite thus far is the 1999 TV special starring Tina Majorino.) So I think it’s safe to say that I’m very much looking forward to Tim Burton’s film. I, unfortunately, won’t be going to see it this weekend or within the next few weeks as I’m moving into mid-semester projects, but as soon as I have the opportunity, you know I’ll be there squirming with anticipation for the opening credits to roll.

For the fun of getting in the Wonderland mood, here’s a handful of fun Alice inspired photographs/illustrations/etc. :D (For the super enthusiastic, my first ode to Alice can be found here.)

What gorgeous images! And I know, the day has finally come! I remember when I first heard that Tim Burton was making it, and being so excited. Can’t wait to see it. x

What a lovely entry! :D I always cried when I watched Alice in Wonderland on video when she got upset in the forest, saying she’d never get out. :( ♥

Awww! I haven’t watched the Disney movie in so so long. I should get it out and watch it again in preparation! One can never have too much Alice! ;D

I saw it last night, opening night at the midnight showing! IT WAS EPIC!

Must get Scene book!
Must go see it again in 3D!

So Fabulous!

I wanted all of the costumes! The makeup and graphics were amazing, the plot was intriguing and really held me. It was even funny in some places. Great movie.

I kinda wish I could see the 1999 movie too — what a fantastic cast.
I’ll let you know how this new one is! Have a fantastic weekend, Krissy!

If you get a chance some time, you should rent it. It’s a really, really well done adaptation. The supporting cast is so so awesome. They all embody each character so well.

Definitely! Have fun seeing the movie! :D

To me the pairing of Alice in Wonderland and Tim Burton just seems like perfection! Very excited for it myself, but I’m not sure when I’ll get to see it either. Such pretty pictures… I love the ones that look to be from a photoshoot.
Good luck with all your school work.

Krissy » March 5th, 2010

They really do go together perfectly, don’t they? A match that was just meant to be!

Ah, you’ve just reminded me that I forgot to source my images! Bad Krissy! The rest of that photoshoot you’re refering to can be found here: http://blog.ramdaq.com/article/15888/17-11-2008-_Alice_s_Adventures_in_Wonderland__by_Ramdaq_Photography.html
So awesome!

Finally, someone else who won’t be seeing it this weekend! Not that that’s a good thing or anything, I was just starting to feel like the only person on the planet not going to see it.

Adam » 5 March 2010

I really want to see Alice in Wonderland, too! I’ve actually seen that TV movie a bunch of times, although it’s been quite a few years since I last saw it.

Krissy » March 13th, 2010

I haven’t seen it in aaaaages either. But all this Alice hype lately has made me really want to go out and rent it again. :D

Oh! Those are such wonderful images and photos! I saw Alice in Wonderland yesterday and it was simple wonderful! I love Johnny Depp’s acting. He’s brilliant, as usual. And you got to see the costume’s (especially Alice’s and the Queen’s)! They are just beautiful, Krissy! Alice’s dresses are just pretty.. And multi-functional too! Oh, and the Cheshire cat is very adorable ♥

I probably won’t end up seeing it until around then either, so I feel your pain!

I’m trying not to think about Alice much cause it will only be released here in Brazil next month :(

Those images are sooooo pretty!

I’m trying to put it out of my mind too because I know I won’t be seeing it for awhile either. It’s hard – everything is Wonderland 24/7 around here!

Hang in there!

“I wonder if I’ve been changed in the night? Let me think. Was I the same when I got up this morning? I almost think I can remember feeling a little different. But if I’m not the same, the next question is ‘Who in the world am I?’ Ah, that’s the great puzzle!” Alice

Aside from acting out “The Wizard of Oz” as a child, I also pretended I was Alice. I ate little pieces of cookies and pretty to shrink and took the little decorative bottles and pretended to drink the magic potions. I got in trouble a lot. :P

A major piece of pretty much everyone’s childhood there.

Aww, cute! My brother and I used have this Wonderland game we’d play in the backyard. I don’t quite remember what it involved, but I remember that we used to crawl around a lot pretending to the same height as the flowers. XD
