IGN have taken a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of this well known character, that is being voiced by Michael Sheen in the forthcoming 3D movie.

The White Rabbit is always late, always in a hurry, always rushing about. Charged with finding Alice and bringing her back to Underland so that she can fulfill her destiny, he shows up at her garden party in an effort to lure her back down the rabbit hole. ‘He’s a warm character,’ says Sheen, ‘but, at the same time, he can be quite fussy and quite strict with Alice as well. He has an edge to him, a nervous energy, always feeling like he’s behind time. Time is very important to him, but he’s quite brave when called upon.’”

The article shows the progression of the development of the character, from the first sketches to the final HQ rendering.
