I had a chance earlier today to have a look at the pictures and trailer for the brand new Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland movie. It simply looks fantastic, using the truly special Burton style that we already saw in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and throughout all of his movies.

But I have to mention the 1951’s Alice in Wonderland Disney version.

Even though this is now considered a classic of the animation genre, it was at the time very forward in terms of background design and animation, allowing Disney artist Mary Blair to design her own very bold version of Wonderland in a very different way from the original illustrations.

Tim Burton (an alumni of the Disney’s animation team himself) was clearly inspired by this version from what I’ve seen in the trailer so far. Let’s hope that the 2009 version will be as ground breaking as the 1951 version was!
