Alice in Wonderland Quote by the Gryphon

This rather blunt quote by the Gryphon is one of my all time favorite Alice in Wonderland quotes!

Alice is having a conversation with the Mock Turtle and the Gryphon by the beach. Alice has been mostly listening to the other two telling their stories and songs but then the Gryphon asks Alice to tell about her adventures as well.

When Alice begins her tale a little hesitantly the Mock Turtle wants her to explain it all. But the Gryphon is impatient and wants to hear only the exiting parts. This is what he says:

"The adventures first...explanations take such a dreadful time."

If you don't know what a "Gryphon" is true to a conventional view of a griffin it is part lion part eagle. It has the head, talons and wings of an eagle and the body and tail of a lion. Pretty cool, eh?

Alice in Wonderland Quote by The White Queen - Best Quote

This Alice in Wonderland Quote comes from the White Queen. Alice is still in the woods and she has met the White Queen. They talk about many things; happiness, loneliness and beliefs. 

 When the White Queen tells Alice that she is one hundred and one years, and five months and a day old, Alice cannot believe her. When the White Queen suggests Alice to try and believe, Alice says that one can't believe impossible things. The White Queen disagrees and says:

"Sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
-White Queen

Alice In Wonderland Movie Wins Two Oscars In the 83rd Academy Awards

Sunday, Feb. 27, 2011 in Hollywood

Alice In Wonderland movie was nominated in 3 categories in the 83rd Annual Academy Awards.

The first nomination was for Achievement in Art Direction, against 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1', 'Inception', 'True Grit' and 'The King's Speech'.

Alice in Wonderland Movie was the winner of this category! Robert Stromberg (Production Design) and Karen O’Hara (Set Decoration) accepted the Oscar for Best Art Direction.

Robert Stromberg had one of the prop makers make a little Mad Hatter’s hat and he put the hat on top of his Oscar when he accepted the golden statue. 

He said: "I just thought it was a nice little punctuation to the end of the show."

The Second Oscar for Alice in Wonderland went to Colleen Atwood for her Outstanding Achievement  in costume design. She has won the Academy Award twice before; first time in 2003 for "Chicago" and the second time in 2006 for "Memoirs of a Geisha".

 

Carey Villegas was nominated for Best Achievement in Visual Effects for his work as visual effects supervisor on Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. The biggest competitor in this category was Inception.

“Inception” has some very good effects, Villegas said, but there were only 500-800 visual effects shots, as compared to 2,000 in “Alice.

The two movies both had won an award recently. “Alice In Wonderland” had won the Golden Satellite Award for visual effects in December 2010, and “Inception” won the British Academy Awards in February 2011.

So, the competition was tight but in the end it was Inception that won the Oscar in Visual Effects category.
