The star of Shaun of the Dead and Little Britain Matt Lucas will part of the cast of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland. Lucas revealed the news on BBC’s radio Friday Night with Jonathan Ross.

I saw the concept art for the characters last week at the Disney Showcase, and they are completely stylized like upward pointing missiles (imagine the Disney animated version about without the round belly). If I were to guess, I would say that the character will likely be performance captured.

The characters appeared in Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking Glass, as two fat brothers who complement each other’s words and never contradict each other, even when one of them, according to the famous nineteenth century nursery rhyme, “agrees to have a battle”. Alice in Wonderland is scheduled to hit theatres on March 5 th 2010.
