eez, is the movie already out of theaters?
ReplyDeletelol that's quick! It's still in cinemas (3D version) in Australia.
ReplyDeleteWooo! I can't wait to get both versions. I especially want to hear about the Scoring Wonderland – Composer Danny Elfman and Tim Burton discuss the music for the movie. Sounds interesting to me.
ReplyDeleteI actually would like to hear about the scoring, but mainly because it wasn't any where near as interesting or iconic as a lot of his other scores. So maybe I'll gain a better appreciation for it. I also didn't like how there was no trademark opening title with theme and when they had end credits they played that f###ing Avril Lavigne shyte!
ReplyDeleteAlice in Wonderland coming to DVD on June 1st must be a lot to do with The World Cup coming soon.
ReplyDeleteOne word for that Avril, Disney!
