Disney vil have Oscar for "Alice i Eventyrland"

Statuetten for bedste film skal tilfalde eventyret.

Disneys "Alice in Wonderland" har indtjent $1 milliard og er dermed den sjette mest indtjenende film nogensinde, men det har ikke ændret på, at filmen har modtaget en temmelig middelmådig modtagelse blandt kritikerne.

Ikke desto mindre håber producerne bag og Disney nu, at filmen kan gå hen og vinde prisen for bedste film ved næste Oscar-uddeling.

Studiet har lanceret en massiv og ikke mindst dyr kampagne, der inkluderer en genudgivelse af filmen, fulde sider i aviser og udstilling af kostumer.

"I think it would be terribly disappointing not to make the Top Ten," siger producer Dick Zanuck. "You can't make a billion dollar gross unless millions of people are satisfied with a picture. The whole point of the new rule of 10 Best Picture nominees was not to exclude the most popular pictures of the year such as 'The Dark Knight.' It was like pooh-poohing the audience. There should be recognition that you don't get that business unless there were a lot of repeats and broad-based appeal and true creative accomplishment."

"Alice i Eventyrland" spås allerede gode chancer for at vinde de mere tekniske priser for visuelle effekter, kostumer og make-up, men det er altså ikke nok for Disney, der også vil have statuetter for bedste film og bedste instruktør (Tim Burton).
