Threatening quote from the Queen of Hearts

This week's Alice in Wonderland quote comes from the ever fearsome Queen of Hearts.

Alice is talking with the Duchess who is released from the prison in the middle of the Queen's croquet game. But when the Queen of Hearts sees the Duchess she stomps on the ground and shouts:

"Now, I give you fair warning, either you or your head must be off, and that in about half no time! Take your choice!"

-the Queen of Hearts

The Duchess doesn't think for a moment but vanishes in a second. She is too scared of the Red Queen and does not want to be taken back to the prison. The Queen then leads speechless Alice back to the croquet-ground.

Alice talks to the Daisies

This Alice in Wonderland quote comes from a scene where Alice talks to the Daisies.

In this adventure Alice walks into a garden with large flower beds bordered by daisies and a willow-tree growing in the middle. Alice wishes that the flowers could talk and becomes speechless when the Tiger-Lily actually answers her! (Fun fact: The flowers Alice meets include a tiger-lily, a rose, a daisy, a violet, and larkspur.)

Tiger Lily explains that all flowers can talk, but because most garden beds are so soft the flowers in them are always sleeping. This garden has a very hard ground and so the flowers are awake and can talk when they are addressed first.

Suddenly, all the daisies start talking and shouting at the same time and Alice shuts them up by whispering these scary words:

"If you don't hold your tongues, I'll pick you!"

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 already on DVD/ Blu-Ray

The time has flown so fast and 12 weeks from the opening of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland on big screens has gone by. And now we can enjoy the fascinating story on our home screens. 

The DVD and Blu-Ray discs are already available. Even the price isn't that bad at least if you get it from Amazon:  Alice in Wonderland (Three-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo + Digital Copy) 

This amazing 3 Disc Combo is only $25 and there are so many  extras which are exclusive to Blu-ray that I'm seriously contemplating on going to buy the Blu-ray player!

Bountiful extras include the creation of the Red Queen, stunts, how Alice shrank and grew, and the making of the cakes. And of course the extravagant Futterwacken Dance by the Mad Hatter.

USA TODAY's Claudia Puig gives: * * *1/2 out of four for Alice in Wonderland 2010. 

"Burton's distinctive cinematic style makes this eclectic fantasy — infused with both dark and light — a dynamic marriage of original material and modern filmmaker."

By the way, we love it!

Alice in Wonderland Star Mia Wasikowska Talks About Filming With Tim Burton And Johnny Depp

Mia Wasikowska - Alice- explained her feelings about the weirdness of filming in Wonderland in an interview with Geoff Boucher.

 

She told how acting in an animated film required her to act with stickers and baseballs as her partners against a green-screen.

 

Mia Wasikowska: 

 

"It is really strange [acting on green-screen]. But Wonderland itself is bizarre and weird and comical and confusing, so it's appropriate that, we were in this green-screen environment where it doesn't always make sense to you. Things were just really odd and weird, and I suppose that was suitable to what we were working on. It put you in the right frame of mind. And it made you rely on your imagination more."

Mia Wasikowska: 

"Right from the beginning, we had a very similar view as to how Alice should be played.  He's very precise and clear and patient, and that was exactly what I needed as far as direction in this kind of film because it was so complicated. One of the most interesting things about Tim is that he does communicate visually, but he is also very precise and uses a language that people can identify with."

Mia Wasikowska: 

"He is such a cool guy. He has the humanity to keep this sense of self. He's very kind and generous and so smart. To be able to watch Johnny -- just like with Tim -- as he takes something from the page to reality and how hard he works and what he brought to it and how much he brought to it, it was amazing. It is inspiring too that he does things in a purely joyous way and has fun with it all, because so often there are people who seem disgruntled. To keep that love of what you do is so important. And watching him and Tim work together is fun. They have a very deep rapport. Watching them, it's like they speak their very own language."

Countdown until the movie Alice in Wonderland hits the big screens: 16 days!
