That is one doll that I don’t want staring at me in my apartment.

ALICE IN WONDERLAND Progression still 1 of 3. Imagery of Stayne, the Knave to the Red Queen, is placed into a preliminary CG environment of the throne room. In the background are basic computer-generated models representing set pieces that have not yet been given final texture or color. © Disney Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
ALICE IN WONDERLAND Progression still 2 of 3. A number of techniques were created to allow the animators at Imageworks to place the photography of Cirspin Glover’s (Stayne) head onto a fully computer-generated body. © Disney Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
ALICE IN WONDERLAND Final Film Frame. Progression still 3 of 3. In the final composite of the scene, the green-screen footage of Stayne’s head is incorporated into the fully computer-generated body and environment, lighting is color corrected and finalized, and the surfaces spring to life when given texture, shadows, and reflections. © Disney Enterprises, Inc.

It is safe to say that this (and Epic Mickey) are pretty much the only reasons I would want a Wii…. but… that’s what the one in the office is for. At least, I think there’s still one in my office… and if not, that’s what Elissa’s is for.

Progression still 2 of 5. The artists at Imageworks create a low-resolution version of the CG character and place it in the CG environment– low-res allows the animators speed and flexibility while working on the scene. © Disney Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Progression still 3 of 5. Once the character animation is completed, a high-res version of White Rabbit’s performance is checked on a more detailed model called a pit render. © Disney Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Progression still 4 of 5. The performance approved, the Rabbit gets his fur and clothing. There are complex programs designed to make hair, fur, and fabric move and behave as realistically as possible. © Disney Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved.

All Rights Reserved.
Progression still 2 of 4. The scene moves to animation, where the character is dropped into a low-resolution environment–the images are kept low-res to allow Imageworks’ animators to create the Cat’s performance without having a lot of data to manipulate. © Disney Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Progressions still 3 of 4. The biggest challenge is to create ar ealistic cat that can generate the trademark exaggerated grin. Here, the all-important hair has been added, ensuring it behaves as it should, where it should be, with the Cat now curled on his limb. © Disney Enterprises, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
