Alice in Wonderland (2010 film)/Trivia


 * Actor Allusion: Johnny Depp offscreen cuts a new dress, seemingly without scissors.
 * Billing Displacement: If the ads for the movie were any indication, you'd think this movie would be called "Johnny Depp Wears a Hat: The Movie".
 * Creator Backlash: Tim Burton apparently apologized for the film's mediocrity.
 * Fake Brit: Johnny Depp, Crispin Glover, Anne Hathaway, and Mia Wasikowska. Averted with the rest of the cast.
 * Fan Nickname: Some fans have taken to nicknaming The Dormouse, whose name is Mallymkin, Boo. Mainly so we can shout "GO FOR THE EYES BOO! GO FOR THE EYES!"
 * Hey, It's That Guy!/All-Star Cast:
 * Burton's usual suspects in their usual roles -- including his partner Mrs. Lovett as the Red Queen and Edward Scissorhands as the Mad Hatter -- but also some new faces like Anne Hathaway as the White Queen and one of the Little Britain actors as the Tweedle Twins. Alice's Maiden Aunt is Madame Maxime. Adelaide Brooke (from The Waters of Mars) is Alice's mother.
 * George McFly plays the Knave of Hearts. Celeborn is Alice's dad and Peter Creedy is Lord Ascot.
 * DS Dan Scott has a small part, playing Alice's sister's husband.
 * Hey, It's That Voice!: Snape is the Caterpillar; Saruman is the Jabberwock; Lucian Aro is the White Rabbit; and General Melchett is the Cheshire Cat. Wormtail is Bayard the Bloodhound, Alfred Pennyworth is the Dodo, and Peggy Mitchell is the Dormouse. Don't forget Dolores Umbridge as the flowers when Alice meets up with the White Rabbit and the Tweedles.
 * If you're wondering, this leaves five members of the cast. Of the five, one has an OBE for her acting, one was in The Illusionist, one was in 28 Days Later, and one graduated from Oxford Drama School. Only one member of the cast is not at least recognizable or otherwise awesome.
 * And in the Italian dub? The Jabberwock is... well, you can choose: Terminator, RoboCop, Zapp Brannigan, Ryuk, Optimus Prime... the list is long.
 * Talking to Himself: The Tweedles are played by the same actor.
