From Walt Disney Pictures and visionary director Tim Burton comes an epic 3D fantasy adventure ALICE IN WONDERLAND, a magical and imaginative twist on some of the most beloved stories of all time. Johnny Depp stars as the Mad Hatter and Mia Wasikowska as 19-year-old Alice, who returns to the whimsical world she first encountered as a young girl, reuniting with her childhood friends: the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Dormouse, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, and of course, the Mad Hatter. Alice embarks on a fantastical journey to find her true destiny and end the Red Queen’s reign of terror. The all-star cast also includes Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham Carter and Crispin Glover. The screenplay is by Linda Woolverton.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND Tweedles Progression Photos

This photo set breaks down the process of animating Tweedledum and Tweedledee in the Red Queen's throne room.
Actor Matt Lucas performs both Tweedledum and Tweedledee parts in separate takes for each scene.
Lucas' facial expressions and motion capture data are combined in a rough assembly for layout and animation.
A low-resolution composite of character animation is matched to floating reference images of the actor's face for exact alignment.
Detailed animation of the Tweedles adds realism to their plump faces and bodies along with clothing movement.
A final shot from the film brings Tweedledum and Tweedledee to life before the Red Queen.
