Alice In Wonderland Scenes With And Without Special Effects

Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass are two of the most visually stunning Disney live-action movies. Most of what you see on screen was accomplished with green screen and VFX to create cgi scenes. They implemented a ton of groundbreaking visual and special effects that still hold up today. But have you ever wondered what these movies would look like if you stripped away all those effects? What do these movies look like without cgi? We’re gonna take a look behind the curtain, and show you what you can’t see when watching these movies on Disney Plus.

When watching Alice in Wonderland, you may not think twice about what you are seeing on screen. But some scenes will surprise you with how much CGI was implemented. Even some of the characters were completely CG, while others were a hybrid between live action and CG. It will also surprise you to find out how they filmed these scenes. Sometimes they had stand in’s for CG characters, and other times the actors were reacting to nothing but empty green screens. And for some scenes you might assume everything was done with CGI, when in reality there were giant props on set that the actors interacted with. It’s a complex process that can bring to life some truly stunning visuals, and knowing what the behind the scenes looked like will make you appreciate the VFX work even more.

Did you have any idea how they created the vast landscapes while you were watching the movies? Which special effect surprised you the most?

It's incredible what technology can do.

[BeckyMD]

The fact that there was no set apart from green screen just shows exactly how fantastic these actors and actresses are. It takes a lot of talent to only have a script, a costume and your imagination

[ainatzgr]

1.crazy editing
2.amazing acting and imagine that they had to act like half of the things in the movie were real..
3.great concept

[AndrewC]

Two years to create the rusting effect in the second movie?? No wonder it's a great movie, both movies were just too well done

[MisadventuresOfJason]

Over the decade we've had an annoyingly overuse of CGI, but this movie is a perfect example of how to use it. I love it so much!

[lakdav]

"None of this is real, it's all in my head..." When you realize how little acting does it take to say this with conviction xD

[norijean]

Mia Washecowsky deserves an Oscar for amazing acting against nothing. Impressive 🙏

[charliepea]

The rust scene of the Looking Glass was my most favourite part of the movie. It's just so cool seeing the rust spread across the dimension. Kudos to the artists behind that very long process.

The film praises for wonderful visual experience and special effects, the beautiful 3D detail designed in each scene.Viewers was persuaded themselves by new levels of sensory detail, the effectiveness derives from the combination of CG and physical effects.

[davidanthony]

For all these actors it’s like watching the movie for the first time yourself in theatres! It would be such a cool experience seeing what they created vs. what you were imagining when you filmed it

[zotaro]

Even as someone who doesn't really like this movie, I must admit that it does look amazing, and these effects all the way from 2009 are impressive as all hell

[SHSgosselinn]

These movies are such a testimony to the incredible talent of the editors and the actors

[jaejan]

Ah this movie was so great 😍
They did a really great job on it

[mylifeandmuchmore]

Can you imagine just swaying a sword around pretending to slay a jabberwoky with nothing there but green screen?

[LavenderViolet]

I love this movie! The actors did so well!

[PollyPearsol]

I had no idea what a shame these movies are far more beautiful than they deserve credit for.

[musicsme]

This movie's Oscar for Best Costume is very deserved. Loved how Alice's dress evolved with her throughout the film!

[missmadness]

Out of all the modern remakes of classic disney movies, I think these are the best

[acrux]

this makes me appreciate the acting even more

[aishasimone]
