About Alice
→
We re-imagined the classic Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland for its 150th anniversary — injecting bold character and a fresh twist into a timeless tale. At the heart: Alice with white hair and tattoos, caught in a surreal tea-time with a monstrous Hare, a monocycle-riding Rabbit and a Rose allergic to itself.
From hand-painted objects to a hybrid of 2D/3D techniques (over 110 objects on the table alone!), we built a world where photorealism meets psychedelia. The result: a short film that is visually daring, narratively playful and unmistakably Plenty.

Behind the Madness
We built Alice’s world from scratch — from the teapots and furniture to every curious corner of this surreal tea party. Real actors became our motion reference, guiding a fully illustrated yet three-dimensional universe. A wild blend of craft, design and imagination, where every detail was made to feel alive.
