Thanks to Joanna for the head’s up about this great press junket interview they did with the leading ladies of the movie, Mia Wasikowska, Anne Hathaways and Helena Bonham Carter.

Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland” is the first 3-D release since James Cameron’s “Avatar” opened to box-office numbers that made had every studio exec in Hollywood crying, “We need our own 3-D mega-blockbuster!” Luckily, Disney had long planned “Alice” as a 3-D release, and Burton didn’t have to submit his film to the last-minute addition of a third dimension, as “Clash of the Titans” filmmakers had to earlier this year.

Anne Hathaway was on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday night. Here’s the video of her discussing her work in Alice in Wonderland.

CBS News has an interview with Anne Hathaway where she talks about her role as the White Queen!

Once again the lovely Mia Wasikowska has been featured on the cover of a magazine.

Between acting jobs she returns to the family home in Canberra: “I still have the same room I’ve had my whole life”

To land the role of Alice, she had to fly to London three times in as many weeks, she said: “I had no body clock and was starting to feel delirious”

Girl most likely, why she think she’s succeeded where so many others have failed: “It’s such a random thing, right time, right place, luck, yes and a lot of hard work as well, I don’t know, it’s a mysterious industry.”

Comparisons to her namesake Mia Farrow and cutting off her hair: “I was happy to cut it off, I’m sure people would have liked me to keep it in its Alice state, but I’ve had hair down to here for the past two years” she says, pointing to her waist. “It’s great not to have to do anything with it in the morning and I was also happy to donate it to Locks of Love who make wigs for kids (who’ve lost hair through illness).”

Moviefone has video interviews with Mia Wasikowska, Helena Bonham Carter, and Anne Hathaway interviewed each other and talk about their experiences on the film. It’s really funny and it seems that they had a good time.
There are three other videos under the cut.
