In celebration of Frabjous Day and the upcoming home video release of Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland on June 1st, Walt Disney Studios is asking America to “Show Us Your Best Futterwacken!” Full details can be read here:
DISNEY’S ALL NEW ALICE IN WONDERLAND INSPIRED DANCE-OFF
For those who haven’t seen the film, the Futterwacken is the crazy, awesome dance performed by The Mad Hatter. In the world of Alice’s Wonderland, the Futterwacken is a dance of unbridled joy.
The contest challenges Alice fans to submit their best interpretation of the Futterwacken dance to Disney.com/Alicedance and add their own original twists, turns and dance moves. So start gathering your muchness and go completely Gallymoggers as you Futterwacken vigorously! The more creative your dance moves, the better your chance to win!
Oh and one of the coolest parts is being able to put your dance moves to Kerli’s song Tea Party featured on the Alice in Wonderland companion album, Almost Alice. Disney’s Almost Alice soundtrack features two songs by Kerli that provide the perfect beat to “show us your best Futterwacken!”
