Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland

[The Mike]

I am in the minority that liked Burton's CatCF. It was closer to the book than the Gene Wilder version and had that silly feel that Dahl books intended. Deep didn't play Wonka as I envisioned him but he certainly made it his own.

As for POTA well.....lets just say I loved the ending.

My wife is a huge Alice in Wonderland and Depp fan so by hook or by crook I'll be in line when this comes out.

But was this the reason Tylerd was banned?


Also..I really dont like the Depp Hatter look at all....not...one...bit.

I liked that it ended, that was about it

I honestly couldn't make it through CatCF... after like the 2nd Umpa Lumpa song I was done

I know Burton's CCF was more accurate to the novel, but to me it lacked the humor of WWCF. I also always thought that while the first one had humor geared towards adults, Burton's always seemed like a kid's movie. It wasn't a bad film, just didn't stand up to the original.

I agree with the above...and I also enjoyed it.

Fascinating that his eyes are yellow, mercury poisoning (which drove many a milliner mad) apparantly causes a yellowing/browning and clouding of the eyes. Obviously Burton has heard this and taken it to the extreme (as ever).

This would make a beautiful doll.

From what I've read the jury is still out on whether or not this pic is legit. It doesn't really do anything for me as a design.

 

[LChinoz]

Looks legit to me but what do I know, I wanted to believe in Bigfoot in a cooler

 

[SimFeliz]

I'm not 100% convinced this is legit. I'll wait until we get official word. I love Burton so I'm looking forward to this. Still not sold on the look, but not hating it either. It might just have to grow on me.

Bigfoot in a cooler

I don't even know what that means but put me down for 2.

Looks like Madona in the 80's.

It was big news a few months ago. It was even on CNN, these dudes claimed they caught bigfoot dead and so they stuck him in a giant cooler. Pictures and story here:

HAHA!
It's actually funnier when you see the picture! It looks like a carpet and some chewed up hot dogs!

Oh, man. I believe in you, Bigfoot in a cooler.....I believe in you....

 

[rebelpig]

I think the photograph leaves a lot to be desired, no doubt the devil will be in the detail in this costume.
But I think I know what i'm wearing on friday night now! (now where did I leave my bunny!)

 

[Odin]

Looks like Madona in the 80's.

I was going to say Boy George... perhaps this is their secret love child?

 

[IronFingaz]

Pic is gone and i didnt see it

 

[theokou]

Depp's pic was legit after all.

Here is a story from USA Today (https://www.usatoday.com/life/movies/news/2009-06-21-alice-in-wonderland_N.htm)

and character photos of three characters:

Mad Hatter:

Red Queen

White Queen

Zanuck assures most kids can handle it. "The book itself is pretty dark," he notes. "This is for little people and people who read it when they were little 50 years ago."

Depp's Mad Hatter = Frightmares!

 

[Hulksmashed]

Depp would definately be the Mad Hatter and or The Caterpiller!
