Fun Facts
• Before creating the White Rabbit, animators spent a day at a rabbit shelter for
abandoned rabbits, observing the animals and shooting photo reference
footage to ensure they captured the nuances of rabbits chewing and wriggling
their noses.
• Very few real sets were built for Wonderland. In fact, only three versions of the
Round Hall (where Alice ends up after falling down the rabbit hole) and the Red
Queen’s dungeon were practical sets. The rest were created digitally.
• A special 4K hi-def camera called a Dulsa with 4,000 lines of resolution was
used to shoot Helena Bonham Carter’s Red Queen to enable her head to be
blown up to twice its size in post-production without losing any image quality.
4. Reviews
• The special effects are brilliant. Even if you
don't enjoy the plot, Alice in Wonderland
looks amazing.
• Mia Wasikowska confirms herself as a hugely
impressive actress in Tim Burton's Alice in
Wonderland.
• This is a loose, enjoyable and safe spin on the
books, with familiar characters doing familiar
things.
