Disney at Comic-Con, Day Two: Down the Rabbit Hole at the Alice in Wonderland Experience
For Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland, Walt Disney Studios has gone the extra mile to create this traveling exhibit featuring props and models from the upcoming feature. After entering the main doors, you travel down the rabbit hole into Alice’s room featuring a very large Alice model along with her dress, the drink me bottles, the eat me cakes and other props. Other rooms include the Mad Tea Party where you’ll find the Mad Hatter’s wardrobe (and hair), the Red Queen’s Throne room and the White Queen’s room which also contains battle gear for Alice and the Mad Hatter.
We are proud to bring you the following amazing photos from this exhibition. All photos © Eric Charbonneau/Le Studio/Wireimage and courtesy of Walt Disney Studios.

It’s on Time! It’s on Time! I Don’t Have a Silly Rhyme! Alice in Wonderland Teaser Trailer Released
Yesterday, as you are probably aware, the teaser trailer to Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland was released prematurely. Although we did manage to save our own copy, when it became evident that Walt Disney Studios was not a fan of the breach, it was decided to simply delete the post that linked to it. So for that we both apologize to and appreciate those who posted the many links to our site posted on forums all over (on some interesting non-Disney topic forums too).
Fast forward to today and after making its official debut at the San Diego Comic-Con, we are pleased to bring the trailer back to you (hopefully for good). As we reported earlier in the week, Disney ran a Facebook campaign which pitted the fans of the Red Queen, the White Queen and the Mad Hatter against each other and granted the largest army of fans with the official first look of the trailer. Well, the votes are in, and no surprise, the Mad Hatter is the winner. Which only proves that we know how to pick’m (and that we sorta cheated and joined all three). Without further ado, I present to you the first teaser-trailer to the highly anticipated take by Tim Burton on the literary classic.
