Alice in Wonderland is a classic book, as well as a much loved animated movie from Disney. So, like all things that display child-like innocence, the internet must mock it in a very special way so that they can use it as a springboard to address larger issues. Bet you never knew the internet was so useful!

Take the below video from CollegeHumor.com, which turns the Mad Hatter and the March Hare into highly opinionated and politically-minded individuals. The video lampoons everyone from Tea Party protesters to Sarah Palin and political pundit Glen Beck.

And, just like in the books, it appears Alice is the only sane individual at the party.

This super cool collection of images is by Lissy Elle she uses photoshop and magic…yes magic to make these characters get back in their books! It’s obvious she’s proficient in photoshop and I couldn’t help but notice that most of the girls have dirty ass feet! She could have easily changed that. That having been said she really does have an amazing thing going here. Hang out after the jump to see full size images of Alice, Wendy, Hermione,Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty), and Belle (and some dirty feets!).

It’s the first Tuesday of June and folks, todays release will have you see a lot of Clint Eastwood at your stores. Yesterday was Eastwood’s 80th birthday and the Blu-Ray/DVD market decided to (re-)release pretty much all the films he either star or directed (sometimes both) on either Blu-Ray/DVD singles, combo packs, and collection packs. There are few new movies and like always, we list whether if it’s a BUY, RENT, or PASS on them. We got the Old Stuff is New Again section which will be filled with Eastwood and few other titles not Eastwood related. There is also the TV Show DVD Worth Checking Out section with two releases. No Anime Pick this week so check out what came out after the jump.

Internet has been kind for folks that has artistic skills and ideas for being the place to have them show their creation off while all I have to show was my old manga scanlations done on MS Paint. Juan Pablo Bravo, who did this awesome Pixar Character Size Chart, stepped his game up and jumped from two hundred characters to two hundred and fifty. He has them listed in order from the film’s release date and although it’s an estimation of their height, I say its pretty exact. Check the massive the picture out as it  may listed an old movie you may have forgotten. Also, stop by  Bravo’s page to look up some other things he has done.

Tim Burton’s latest excercise in weirdness, Alice in Wonderland was visually satisfying but a failure in dramatic story telling. How could it have been better, you say? Well, that question is best answered in this video mashup of Lady Gaga in Wonderland by Black20’s

When Wonderland is threatened by a pop-music hating Queen Of Hearts, pop music sensation Lady Gaga returns to her homeland to kick some evil ass… but mainly dance, sing, and weird it up.

This creation is not only far more superior but also offers the energy, curiosity, and emotional draw that Burton failed to deliver.

With the new major motion picture due out in just a few weeks the Alice in Wonderland fans will be coming out in droves. Many of which will be professing their love for Lewis Carrols classic tale of the silly white girl that fell down a rabbit hole and had herself in adventure. Though, I’m sure the displays of Alice love will be more for Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. On a side note: has anyone noticed that Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter looks remarkably like Madonna (photo comparison after the jump) ? I digress. The real fans are the Alice in Wonderland purists, and in my book that’s the fans of the Disney version (feel free to debate). One uber fan has clearly made a statement that your not a real fan unless you have the entire Alice in Wonderland story tattooed on your body. Tattoo artist Holly Azzara created this enormous back and arm tattoo that depicts the Disney version of Alice in Wonderland. We at nerdbastards think this is looks amazing. Beautiful tattoo, with a wonderful flow. It defiantly tells a story instead of being a mish-mash of Alice in Wonderland characters randomly arranged on someone.

Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland illustrated by prolific artist and star of the low-brow art world Camille Rose Garcia will be available in print on February 2nd. Have a look at this preview of the work with narration by the artist herself. Check out the behind-the-scenes aspects of what goes into Garcia’s process and peer into the collection of weird and nerdy toys and objects she uses for inspiration. Pretty strange stuff. I can’t wait to buy a copy of this classic story with the badass artwork of Camille Rose Garcia.

You can see more of Camille’s work at her website HERE. If you’re not already a fan you will be. Especially if you’re a fan of  Mark Ryden, Elizabeth McGrath, Robert Williams, Gary Panter or any of the LA Juxtapoz-style artists. She’s the stuff we nerds dream of. I can’t wait till her work comes alive on the big screen one of these days. Mark my words, it will happen.

You know where I’ll be May 10th 2010? At the cineplex watching Disney’s Alice in Wonderland directed by Tim Burton, and starring Johnny Depp (who else?), Anne Hathaway and the super-strange Crispin Glover. Judging by the trailer we’re in for a 3D treat.

Dare I say this version of the old classic will out-shine absolutely everything we’ve seen to date?

On the “Alice in Wonderland” front, Camille Rose Garcia will be releasing her own version of this classic book, available February 2, 2010 on Amazon! Check out the cover and a few early sketches below: (more…)
