All I know about the new descendants movie is osmosis from tumblr and combining that with the media I think of when someone says Alice in Wonderland is making for tbh the movie in my brain is probs very different than what I've heard the new one is like.

And that media is the Royal Ballet's Alice in Wonderland. Its a lovely comic ballet, and my favourite dances are The Mad Hatter's Tea Party (tap! in a ballet! also in this clip played by Steven McRae, who i want to know more about and watch more of his stuff as i have heard good things about from other dancers I know), and the Tart Adage, which is frickin hilarious. (also the way that the King of Hearts just droops around in the background and its like yup. thats Red's dad apparently.)

So uh everyone should watch these clips simply because they're amazing and I love them.

#also i'm aware to an extent that the mad hatter or like his son or something is in the film #but i choose to ignore that character #as my brain already created a mad hatter kid oc and i dont want to part with her or change her #the oc is fully inspired by the ballet's mad hatter #his dancing #tap #and manner #and also colour scheme and outfit #her name is Rhiannon because i like the sound and also can be shortened to Riri which is fun and also the sound of rhi sounds like the end #of mercury #and mercury poisoning in hatters may be like the reason the hatter is the character he is #so fun times #her colour scheme is like a more toned down version of the hatter in the ballet #pinks and greens #with a fashion style that draws from a whole lot of eras from the last century and a half #nearly 200 years really #and also i have this half baked tap routine in my head to ALICE by PEGGY that i adore so that ties in nicely #also idk how much the film used wonderland #or backwards logic but im sure it was not enough #especially with mundane things #Riri shows up on her first day in a 1960s inspired shift dress like oh yeah i wore this because i didnt want to take up too much space in #my luggage #i packed the stuff that would take up the least room #open up her suitcases #eleventy billion petticoats spill out that definitely would take up more room than a shift dress #i love the 60s for her #especially with the wild patterns and colour combos you can see #also twiggy inspired eye looks #descendants #disney descendants
