ALICE IN WONDERLAND Soundtrack Details

If any of you are interested in what Tim Burton’s Soundtrack will be like for Alice in Wonderland then we’ve got a good amount of information for you.

The film will actually have two separate albums for the Tim Burton-directed movie. One album is a 16 song compilation, which will feature the end credit track Alice (Underground) which was written and performed by Avril Lavigne and produced by Butch Walker. The compilation of music will also include music by Franz Ferdinand, The All-American Rejects, Owl City, Mark Hoppus, Wolfmother, Pete Wentz, and several more. I gotta say this is an interesting selection of music for the film and it must have come from the studio execs because for some reason I just can’t see Tim Burton rocking out to Avril Lavigne and The All-American Rejects, but I could be wrong.

The second album is definitely Tim Buton’s style because it will include Danny Elfman’s original film score, which I’m sure will be amazing. I love Danny Elfman’s work.

Let us know what you think of the musical choices.
