Comment on Sneak Peek into Wonderland by alice in wonderland disney

On its release last year I couldn’t find much to fault Avatar on. But after watching Alice – the first serious CGI-dominated 3D film since James Cameron’s immersive motion picture – there’s now a glaring issue with it: the bar was set waaay too high. Previously the computer generated effects in Alice would have knocked your socks off, however in a post-Avatar world it significantly underwhelms. Not an overly fair statement for a film which has consistently beautiful and detailed images – take the awe-inspiring climactic clash which is set on a chess board-esquire battlefield for example – but you can thank Cameron for that. Once you get past the fact that Burton’s creation does not aim to achieve realistic environments or creatures and that the actors will never appear to be anywhere other than in front of a green screen, you are in good stead to enjoy the colourful animation for what it was intended for: pure, undemanding, trippy wonderment.

What, Curious George wasn’t popular enough with little kids? That’s alright, I think 2 guesses is good enough for me. I’ll leave it for someone else to figure out the other author

Yes on Dr. Seuss, but still no cigar on the second person Hint – extremely popular books for little kids. Think colors and repetitive words ))

I’ll try again: Dr. Seuss, born there, and H. A. Rey, moved there in 1963 and lived there till he died

Thank you, darling
The Klimt thing might not be intentional, but the influence is certainly there. I’m a big fan
