Film: Alice in Wonderland

Alice in Wonderland is a fairy tale. Like in all magic movies, imaginery properties and characters are created to construct a dreamlike scene.

Integration:When Alice drinks the potion and enters wonderland as a mini person, following her we see a garden of all colors and mushroom 3 times taller than human [Space]. Real world is eliminated, we've also entered the fairy tale with her. In wonderland, all the kind creatures are designed to have normal body types. White Rabbit, Blue Caterpillar, Cheshire Cat... although personified, are almost as big as what they are in reality [Proportion]. In contrast, all the villians' appearances [Shape] are exaggerated even grotesque.

To talk about the design of main characters, I have to skip the leading actress Alice. It is just a girl, with blond hair and normal dresses in her century. From the angle of design, this character has no personality.

Red Queen v.s White Queen: As I mentioned in last paragraph, just by looking we can judge who is kind and who is the villian. Red Queen (above left) has an absurb big head [Shape&Proportion], and bright red color represents aggression and brutality [Color]. Compared, White Queen (above middle) is a angelic figure, and vanilla white represents peace and goodness [Color].

Mad Hatter: Mad Hatter (above right) is a very interesting character. Although he looks and dresses like a clown, but notice: a clown is never a bad guy, but someone to make kids happy. And I read some behind-the-scenes, that Mat Hatter's eyes are enlarged 10%-15% than the real actor's [Shape&Proportion], which makes him more funny and adroble. After all, this is a children's story.
