A Trip to Wonderland

Pogo, from Perth, splices together clips and sounds from old Disney classics to make beautiful original tracks - with a gorgeous nostalgic trip down memory lane to boot.

Here's a medley:


This track is called "Wishery", comprising vocals, syllables, musical chords and sound effects from the 1937 Disney classic Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

Alice in Wonderland Test Footage

In animated film-making (and I'm sure it still must be the case with digital animation today), creators would often film actors saying the script and "acting" a scene, and then illustrators would use their mannerisms and movements as inspiration for their drawings. What's amazing here is that what the actors in the test footage actually voiced the characters themselves; the animated characters capture and exaggerate the essence of the real-life actors, who seemed pretty larger-than-life themselves. Old classics in a new light, pretty cool!

Hipster Ariel

So apparently, there is this blog entitled, fittingly, Fuck Yeah Hipster Ariel. It's very funny. I guess a lot of the ingredients were right there in the original twenty years ago, weren't they: angst, a longing for someone her dad didn't approve of, alternative music, interest in non-mainstream art, feigning poverty...

Anyway, here are some of its finest pieces.
