Alice in Wonderland: A Visual Companion

A behind-the-scenes guide to the new Tim Burton film, inspired by Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, about a little girl who falls down a rabbit hole and discovers a world of nonsensical and amusing characters. Tim Burton's reimagining finds a teenage Alice in a place called Underland. It is a realm to which she has visited before, with the familiar characters. The film is story about discovery, that of Alice, finding herself, and this book presents the concept artwork, set and costume designs, and other visual developments that makes Burton's take on the classic tale unique.
