great moves such as “Edward Scissorhands”, “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of
Fleet Street,” and “The Nightmare Before Christmas,” is in the process of

The movie will be live action
combined with stop motion and cartoon animation. Some of the goals of Tim Burton
for this movie are that it take back “Alice in Wonderland” from the stereotype
of Disney. Also so that it can be what it’s original authors had meant it to be,
a strange fictional story that uses an abundance of imagination. He wants people
to stop and take a closer look and to re-think the story of “Alice in
Wonderland”.
