Director Tim Burton discussed where his ideas for the look of Tweedledee and Tweedledum in Alice in Wonderland came from.
"I kept thinking about the twins in 'The Shining,' " Burton said, referring to the Stanley Kubrick thriller that celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. "But really any kind of twins. There's always something scary about them, in a way. Or there can be."
Burton was inspired by the eerie twins in Stanley Kubrick's The Shining.
Burton then went on to praise Matt Lucas for doing a "great job" and informing the rotund look of the stripes-wearing twins.
"We didn't want to do motion capture because I'm, personally, not really into that and since I like these actors I thought it would be really nice to use them -- with actors like Matt or Johnny [Depp as the Mad Hatter] or Helena [Bonham Carter as the Red Queen] I wanted to get what they brought to it," Burton explained. "So with Matt it's kind of a mix of animation and him. It's a weird mixture of things which gives his characters the disturbing quality that they so richly deserve."
