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?

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

[@Tech-geeky]

ya, but magic shows are illusions as well.. Movie studios use must more green/blue screens.. Kinda turns the who movie industry on its head at just how 'great' these firms are 'not' when the only thing that's actually real IS the actor. Walt Disney, you can get away with more because we all knew that was 'magic' anyway, but beside that.

[@BeckyMD26]

@@Tech-geeky completely agree

[@neonlasttite4384]

As someone who studies art, I think props had to be given to the cgi artist as well, making those motions and details are nightmares.

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

[@MarshaNPILoveCanada]

Dude... I think it's average numbers for how long it usually took. A year or more. Look at Avatar, a decade. XD

[@SugarT.ts_]

I thought you said ‘rustling effect of the dress’ Idk man

[@rixyz7013]

@@MarshaNPILoveCanada avatar took so long because the director was waiting for the movie industries technology to advance so it could become revolutionary such as the first. Otherwise it would have came out a long time ago.

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

[@lordvenjix3757]

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.

[@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.

[@zotaro557]

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

A part of audiences are dissatisfied with the performance of actors, and they think the three-dimensional effect is not as real as Avatar and Pandora.

The VFX look good because they don’t look realistic. The vast majority of this would look “terrible” in other movies, but it works because it’s supposed to look stylized. I’m sure Axl’s floating head would’ve been right at home here.
