The tunes from Alice in Wonderland are some of the best Disney ever produced.

Amazing combination of audio and visuals. Makes me see “Alice in Wonderland” in a new light. This is why I come to this site!

This is so tasteful! A great way to re-imagine the movie.
Please make more, Nick.

I like a good sampled dance tune, and that is certainly a fine track. Shame that the video gets a bit repetitive, like an AMV with a limited usage of clips.

love the video clip, for some reason the part where Alice says “Always” I find just the way she moves in that quick clip mesmerizing.

Wish there was a better quality version than youtube though.

That is a great piece of work … it breathes new life into that film, brings it alive but not in a way that seems to be trying to “hip it up”. Love it.

Very cool I hope he makes at least a couple more in this fashion

Reminds me of Björk a little bit. Nicely done.

Brilliant remix, and a very nice use of the video. I would love to see some artists do an official album like this.

If you click into the MP3 link, you’ll find he has produced a further 3 Alice in Wonderland tracks. Very catchy, relaxing mixes.

Well this was a surprise, I must say.

I’ll take a peak to see what other tunes this musician has produced.

I love it!
And it’s so true that Alice is a fabulous inspiration! My brother’s a fan of the tale as well… he did a musical piece with samples from Disney’s Alice as well a while ago. Not at all the same style, but just to share how much this film is a cherished piece of art… :) I think he did it when he was a university student…

I was surprised before when I realized that this wasn’t terrible and shocked that it was fantastic, mesmorizing, and musically sound.
