For me the question over the years went from What would I do if I were Alice? To What would I do differently with Alice? Honestly, I felt like the story and movie were pretty perfect on their own. It’s also something I’ve thought about since I was a child. There are so many retellings of it, from video games to new wave science fiction novels. Well, Alice is a little different from the other movies (except Peter Pan) because it’s not a fairy tale, it’s a full book (or two) written by one author. What is your thought process when coming up with a way to twist the story of a tale that is so well known? My editor and I have many long discussions about where to go next! How do you go about deciding which classic Disney tales to retell? It’s not just the old and new, it’s also putting in all of the little internal details there’s no time or space for in a movie. I can imagine it must be quite hard to strike the perfect balance between old and new? The Twisted Tales books brilliantly combine elements of the Disney classics we all know and love, with your own twisted elements. My editor is amazing and lets me travel the worlds of Disney freely. What a long, wonderful, strange trip it’s been! I started with A Whole New World six books ago….
