More Concept Art From Tim Burton's ALICE IN WONDERLAND Appears Online!!
Merrick here...
A few weeks back we got our first true sense of what Tim Burton's ALICE IN WONDERLAND would look like (HERE).
Now, more production from the project has gone online over at a French site. An AICN reader named Brian sent us the following message:
Dear AICN Folk,
This morning I discovered that one of my favorite blogs, The Art of Disney Animation, had posted some concept art for Burton’s upcoming ALICE film.
There was the art that had already been published in USA Today, but in super-high resolution; but, also, quite a few other pieces of concept art that I don’t remember seeing before. I thought you might be interested.
The site is in French, but it doesn’t really matter, as the real attraction is the art.
I originally found the site through a link on CartroonBrew.com some time ago. I don’t remember who the person is who runs it, sadly, but I’m pretty sure he works for Disney in some capacity, as he has an amazing collection of pre-production art, storyboards, layouts, etc. In any case, I hope you find it as interesting as I do.

But the concept art of the scenery is kick ass. I'll end up seeing it for sure.
-
Old and crumbling and somewhat ancient.
-
But the movie is still going to be freaking awesome.
-
Mar's attack, Sleepy hollow, Choc. factory, all shit. Ok, Ed Wood was pretty good.
-
I was 11 when batman came out, It was cool at the time, but it has not aged well.
-
I miss the witty banter about new releases.
-
To pick up where his production design talent ends.

I WANT BURTON DOING OFF-BEAT STUFF LIKE ED WOOD AND SWEENEY TODD
by charlesthomasmathews1978
Those are his two best movies and they didn't seem like atypical projects for Burton but they turned out to be perfect. Alice in Wonderland, like Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, just feels like Burton coasting on projects that you'd excpect him to do. I'm sure the movie will be good as I have never been dissapointed by any of his movies but I'd like to see a bit more original work.

Mr Soze, I WAS THE SAME AGE WHEN I SAW BATMAN....
by charlesthomasmathews1978
And I remember seeing that movie like it was yesterday.
-
Beetlejuice, Big Fish, Sweeny, Big Adventure, Batman, Scissorhands, plus his production work...
Bum? Where have you been? -
It's bad enough that the only things that are posted on this site are things are lifted from other sites, now the readers of this site are beating you guys to the punch too!
-
but i dont think anything in any Batman movie will ever beat the cool shot where the Batwing stops in front of the moon and created the logo. that's an awesome shot just as a standalone picture but even the sequence itself, how the music stops for a few seconds while it hovers there and then falls down.
-
What really pissed me off about Burton was Mar's attacks. Look at that cast and it was total garbage of a movie. And then Sleepy Hollow where Icabad Crane lives at the end! Are you kidding me???
-
Beetlejuice was good, not great but good.
-
don't think i'd place him in 'bum' territory. 'Sweeney' was brilliant, and everything i've seen thus far on 'Alice' indicates that he's swinging for the fences yet again. some of you fuckers just don't like a goddamned thing, regardless of what it is or who's behind it.
-
or actually not do Willy at all.
-
Which 3 are stinkers???

Burtons vision was in fact far more faithful to the fantastic Dahl book than the frankly cock-awful Wilder movie (of which Wilder is the ONLY good thing).Sadly Johnny had to go and play Wonka as some weird, spiteful pastiche of Michael Jackson and ruin everything. I don't doubt that if Burton had the chance to make 'The Great Glass Elevator' it would be superb.
-
Depp was the only thing going in that shitfest. Besides the midget of course.
-
One of the greatest cinematic achievements of our time. Also re: Burton's Batman. We'll be hard-pressed to see a better Catwoman than Pfeiffer (but I wouldn't put it past Nolan after his casting of the Joker. I don't get all the Burton bashing. There are PLENTY of people to bash in Hollywood, but by and large, Burton's done some good stuff.
-
...and while I love the design, cinematography, and sheer imagination behind Mr. Burton's movies, I find them somehow hollow or empty, like there should be more depth to them (except, oddly, for his animated work). Has Mr. Burton done any films where he was 'just' a production designer?
-
and creativity. Were you all molested as children?
-
This looks like everything else he does. Would there be any difference in the film if Burton himself made it or a talented imitator? Yes, the film would look the same but would have competent direction and storytelling.
-
Alice in Wonderland is either a Tim Burton cliche been-there-done-that or it's the movie he was born to direct.
-
Pee Wee's Big Adventure is the shit.
-
Burton's movies all look unique whatever else may be wrong with them. I'm pretty jazzed about this movie. I saw Sleepy Hollow the other night on TV and Christopher Walken's Headless Horseman made the whole flick well worth watching, despite numerous other flaws.
-
"I'm the ghost with the most, babe..."
-
Am I 'cool' yet?

Cap'n Jack ... American McGee doesn't own "dark" Alice
by murdermostfowl
All of Lewis Carroll's works are in the public domain, and just because Ameican McGee made a version of his own that is dark and distrorted characters that roughly follows the story of Alice in Wonderland ( despite the main character being in an insane asylum )
doesn't mean that some other dark and distorted version of the same source is infringement.
as a comparison, Disney's Aladdin and the knockoff cartoon that came out at the same time are both based visually and storyline wise on the Thief of Bagdad ( also in the public domain )

shitting on Burton,
You're obviously bored and have nothing else to do. -
shitting on Burton,
then you obviously know nothing about good movies. Some of these talkbacks are as predictable as a hangover after a bottle of whisky. -
Shit, this will be awful. Judging by the pic I am sure this will be another weird emo shitfest.
-
There is nothing at all unique about any of this art. It almost all looks like it could have been for the Disney version

To who ever complained about Icabod Living at the end of Sleepy
by saintsaucey
He lived at the end of the cartoon as well. He disappeared yes but he also lived.
-
wow.
-
What a HACK!!!!!!
-
I'm dying to figure out what he looks like. He's the only reason I'm gonna watch this movie.
-
Movies that suck ass: Mars attacks (Cast was wonderful, so why the fuck did it suck ass??!!), Sleepy Hollow (Unoriginal drab piece of shit), Planet of The Apes (Ruined what could have been a great franchise)-Cornelius!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!), Beetlejuice (Ridiculous), Batman (was good at the time, but has not aged well and miscasted Keaton as Batsy. He's supposed to be a playboy, not a abalding guy who played Beetlejuice), Batman 2 (I thought it sucked ass when I first saw it and still do. Penguins carry off the Penguin when he dies, wtf?!), Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Same as Sleepy Hollow). Ill give him Scissorhands, but that is it. Fuck you Burton, your films may be visually dazzling at times, but you do not know how to flesh out a story and bring it all together.
-
Won't mention the bad, but I love Pee Wee's Big Adventure, Beetlejuice, Edward Scisorhands, and Ed Wood, and really liked Big Fish, Corpse Bride, and Sweeny Todd. The rest are pretty not good.
-
He likes putting a twist on everything he does in a film-Keaton as Batman, the exteriors in Scissorhands, etc. There's always something out of place in his movies-I think Alice will be one of his best. And Tim, it's time to work on Dark Shadows-make it R.
-
The fourth picture there is in 3D. Has there been any talk of Burton's ALICE having 3D sequences?
-
He just kept doing the same old shit. Mars Attacks was the last Burton show I made myself suffer through.
