maybe this leaked trailer is not the version they wanted to show, it conveys the wrong message about the movie?. seeing it i dont like the trailer per se.. it shows a kinda.. alice in wonderland action movie instead of a fantasy one... well have to see what is unveiled tomorrow
Nothing like seeing big media head directly into a facepalm.

What's the big deal anyways? Just because Tim Burton remakes the movie everybody goes ga-ga about it. Spoiler alert, the original cartoon will be better anyways.
Oh, and I probably will end up seeing this in the theater. Just don't care that Disney removed it from YouTube. Their movie, their rights.

You mean the original book will always be better. :) Disney's animated version of it is pretty good, but it pales in comparison to the source material.

Dang Disney, How dare they expect us to wait a whole day before we see a trailer for a movie thats a year off. This is the internets we want stuff now! they have no right to determine how we experiance thier movie

I can see why they'd want to keep it a "Comic Con Exclusive", but the best thing they can do is let as many people as possible watch the trailer to build the most buzz!
yeah, but can't that be done by waiting two days? i mean are the next two days going to be the make or break timeframe on some buzz and the most buzz? likely not. besides, it's their content and they have every right to manage it how they want.

Not really the point... Of course they can do what they want with their project, but why? Just because you "have every right" to do something doesn't mean it's a sensible thing to do. They will shell out insane amounts of money to promote this movie as time passes yet they fight against the internet when it gives it to them for free? They have the right to do it though, indeed. Personally, I'm more interested in giants like Disney's attitudes towards the internet and new media than I am interested in this particular films trailer but that's just me.

Disney Corp is bass ackwards when it comes to new media. They're a monolithic organisation who are still somewhat stuck in the 20th century.
This isn't the first time they've done something which they deem to be counter-intuitive; if they have no creative control or 'the final say' in how their 'media' (including promotional stuff) is viewed or consumed, they are generally not in favour of pursuing it.
...Either that, or some intern / Saturday worker pressed the button to send an automated DMCA takedown to YouTube - or misinterpreted instructions. It's not hard to send a DMCA to YouTube if you're the company who holds the copyright on the media, and YouTube usually comply with the takedown notification within 24 hours (I should know, I filled the form out and sent one to YouTube on Tuesday for the company I work for).
If Disney's using the automated system (and I strongly suspect they are), these takedowns can be almost instantaneously performed from within Disney HQ - so perhaps it was just the misguided efforts of one idiotic worker to ensure that Disney's copyrights weren't infringed in any possible way, shape or form, even if it would've helped them in the long run?

Why? Because it's great PR. You are writing an arlicle about it, aren't you? It's hot stuff and trendic topic on twitter. Ppl are speaking about it. How much reason do you want?

Too late Disney. Half the world saw it already! ( ...I for one wish I hadn't.)

You would think that companies would have learned from the Snakes on a Plane episode that the more internet chatter there is on a film the better. It's in a movie's best interest for people to talk about a film in advance and let it take on a life of it's own.

Well, of course it is their content, they have the copyrights. It is not about "do they have the right to take it down" but rather "is it wise to do so?".
And yes, of course it is a pity if this really leaked before the official presention (if it was not intentionelly made!). However, if is has leaked, people at Disney should know that "deleting" simply does not work in the internet. So face it, Disney, and do not make those silly attempts which simply offends the internet community...

I agree with you Ben. Reading through a few comments directly below me it seems a few people are missing the point. It isn't so much about what they do with their movie, their trailer, or even the fact that we "have to wait a whole day" it's more the whole attitude Disney and others have against the internet over stuff like this. Like you said, it's free promotion for their movie so why would you fight that? People pay big money for the amount of exposure they were getting for free but instead they put time and effort into getting the videos pulled and not just from YouTube, I mean, they went through some trouble (and still are) tracking as many of these down as they could (can). True, it is their trailer, their movie, but this sort of attitude just doesn't make any sense, there is no loss in spreading a commercial for something all over the place for free, there can only be gain. It's just another example of how the media giants choose to deal with the internet nowadays, it's generally negative instead of embracing. As far as "waiting a whole day" goes, yeah, so what big deal. Personally, I am in no hurry to see this trailer but crazy moves like this from Disney and other giants on YouTube and other huge internet communities is something I do find interesting, puzzling, but interesting.

I love how everyone is reacting as if this is the first time a trailer has been pulled from the internet because it was leaked. Disney was not the first and will not be the last to do this. Adding to that, YouTube is on lockdown for copyright material these days from muted videos to banning. It seems that as long as its a copyright program nobody cares about, it will exist, but something like this is not something people "don't care about" right now.

I didn't like Johnny Depp in Charley and the Chocolate Factory and I'm not sure how I feel about him being the Mad Hatter. His personality doesn't really fit the character.

Amazing what people care about. Who cares if the trailer is not up, you can watch it in a few days or in the theater. Don't worry so much about missing this trailer, I'm sure between now and next year, you will be getting to hear a LOT about this movie. Plus, Disney can let it viral on YouTube for free anytime they want.
Honestly, I expected it to be dark and creepy coming from the mind of Tim Burton... i'm more excited about the rewrite i'm currently in progress with.. its the dark R rated version of Alice
Try this site, it worked for me: http://freenewmoviess.blogspot.com/ You just have to fill out a little survey then it takes you right to the movie! Enjoy :)

"Leaked" stuff from movies are all a stunt. Don't you think people and well-known businesses who make movies for a living and invest millions of dollars in to one know everything you know? Ooooh you're some brilliant guy on the internet who suddenly figured out this awesome plan for movies to make money and they are just too stupid to figure it out.
I THINK IT'S THE FIRST OR SECOND POST, SO GO CHECK IT OUT. IT'S COMPLETELY SAFE, SO I MEAN...IT WORKS....THE MOVIE LOOKS OK I GUESS....JHONNY DEPP LOOKS COOL AS USUAL..BUT THIS TIME A LITTLE CREEPY...HAHA AH WELL GO CHECK IT OUT

what thats crazy ive been meaning to see that trailer actually i was looking it up today and you guys have yes!!! lol that was good and cant wait till that movie comes out soooo excited
Why didn't they at least re-cut a quick teaser trailer and have it replace the version they don't want on YouTube. They could have it direct people to a facebook group (doesn't have to be fb) so they could at least harvest all this interest from devoted fans... then from now till March 2010 engage with them and empower fans to spread the word for the movie. Everyone know word-of-mouth is the most influential marketing... but so many businesses fail to embrace social media that could provide them with the word-of-mouth they know is like gold

They didn't have it post on youtube because they knew it would get even more attention from websites like this if they took it down. It's all in the mind of numbers. But you never know, the video could have had more hits if it was let up rather then taken down and left to news sites to mention.

The story seems a little bit different, but I like the Tim Burton's movies and always it's great to see a Johnny Depp character so I'm sure this movie will be a hit!

Are people truly surprised that Disney would do this? The corporation is so concerned with protecting their copyrighted images that they've done things like sue a day care in florida over using images of the characters in posters. I highly doubt they even took a second to think about protecting the alice trailer and making sure it wasn't released without their okay. Who knows what their reasoning was--maybe it's as simple as a five year old complaining about why he doesn't want to share: "BECAUSE IT'S MINE!!" And yeah, it was a stupid move. Rather than just let it happen, all they've done is remind people about the ugly, corporate, money-grubbing face behind that glittery castle and sweet little mouse.

You know the thing is Disney has to protect it's corporation just like every other corporation does.. to go as far as to call one of the most widely successful companies of all time money hugging and greedy and deceiving is tragic seeing as ALL corporations hug money... EVERYOE is hugging money right now. Think about this.. movie trailer leaked easily... movie comes out, obviously it will leak somewhere... as easily as this movie trailer leaked, the movie may be easier, America is in a recession, everyone needs money, Disney realizes how much money they could lose, logical conclusion, use your copyright laws given to you by America and control your product, you stamped your name on it. That sounds like what all companies do to me at least.
People will always hate Disney for being a company that runs things the right way, runs America with their product and does a very good job of doing so. If people opened their eyes to the happiness they are trying to bring to the world, many people would be much more content with some of the things the company does.
It's showbiz, it's the media.. the two will never be fond of each other, but both will need each other to strive for eternity.

I was at Comic-Con yesterday and the music in this trailer is not the same as the one shown at the panel (they one they showed us made the movie seem more like a fantasy; the orchestrated music here makes it feel like an action movie). Plus if this was the real thing it would have been blurry because it was shown in 3D.
I agree with you. Shutting off the sneak peak will only make some mad and they might not go see it. I, myself, am very excited about it and would have liked to see the trailer.
