We all know that Disney/Pixar does things like this all the time and seeks no recognition. Every once in awhile it's nice that they get some. A very bitter-sweet story.

Tim Burton's 'Alice in Wonderland' 3/5/10
Sure this story's a couple of months old, but the boards were a-buzz Monday when Disney released some publicity shots from Tim Burton's upcoming 'Alice in Wonderland'. From the looks of the characters it's got that Tim Burton look and I'm sure a score by Danny Elfman isn't far behind. We'll keep you updated on the film as more pictures and news are released.
