Fun and Mental Changes

Ok, day three of Simply Betty Stamps' Funky Potters Sneak Peek is RON!!!!  I LOVE this image, and today's sneak peek is part of our bi-weekly challenge.  So... hopefully you can tell by my project for The Burtonesque Dolls that the challenge this time is Potter in Wonderland featuring Ron Weasley in Wonderland where The Cheshire cat has just eaten his rat, Scabbers. I had so much fun with this challenge!  As usual, the story in my head is always so funny as The Cheshire cat takes on a voice like the Cheetos cheetah (which we all know was stolen from American McGee's Cheshire Cat in Alice anyway). And to break out my Graphic 45 Halloween in Wonderland paper and embellishments is ALWAYS added fun as well. So let's see what you can do!  The challenge this time is to create your own Potterish character and place that character in any Burton movie... basically the Potters using the Flue Network and end up in Burtonland!  It doesn'...

Based on the AMAZING flicker slide show that I just watched... Disney has won the macabre Alice race! I have to admit... I've been unfailingly loyal to the American McGee's game adaptation that has been rumored to be released FOR YEARS!!! Sarah Michelle Gellar was slated to play the sick, demented, dark Alice and I was convinced that nothing could compare. I told myself that Tim Burton's take on Alice would be a sad attempt at best to "scare up" the children's classic. But who am I kidding? I have known for years that Alice in Wonderland was meant for the macabre! The original story was always kind of spooky with falling down dark holes and drinking tonics and grinning cats and a queen that wants to decapitate everyone! Disney and Tim Burton didn't have to work very hard to make a "dark Alice". This story really shouldn't have been a children's classic at all now that I really think about it! So until the American McGee's Alice adapta...

WHEN!!!!??? UGH!!!!! I want to see this movie soooo bad and have been hearing that it is going to be released since 2005! I can honestly say though, that my hopes are up this time. I checked the Internet Movie Database and saw promotional pix for the first time... yay! And they have also updated the release date to 2010. The last time I checked, the release date was 2008. Maybe, just maybe it's finally happening!?! I love the game and know that the movie is going to be every bit as good (has to be with all the time that they're putting into it!). I would SO love to know who's going to be The Cheshire Cat !!! I have loved Alice in Wonderland stories my whole life and own 4 versions of the movie.... yes, including the Disney animated feature ! I cannot wait to add this version to my collection. A scary verson of Alice in Wonderland.... I'm not really into scary movies, but am totally into Alice in Wonderland... oh, this is going to be great! We are all mad here!
