Alice In Wonderland Officail site

There are two site that I looked at to compare my website to below is the link to both.
http://adisney.go.com/disneypictures/aliceinwonderland/
http://www.disney.com.au/disneyfilms/aliceinwonderland/
The first thing I notice between the two sites is the amazing loading bar (thing) this was something I didn't make with my own but looking at these two I would have probably had something similar. The next page you are taken to is the introduction page which I have found is almost exactly the same as what I have with the idea that it makes it seem like you are entering wonderland. This idea is carried out throughout the website much like mine was made, yet theirs is much much more interactive. Both are really impressive sites that portray the ideas behind Alice in Wonderland really well but having said this there are only small similarities between them.
The Gallery: Both have really impressive galleries but I have to say that I prefer the second one as it is much faster to load than the first and has much more movement in it. With that said I am still impressed with the first one and the style that they show the pictures so that they look older and don't stand out against the background too much. I think that mine is as much as an original idea as these two both are and still fit in well with the Alice in Wonderland theme.
Home Page: Once again some how the two sites are completely different, my site is more like the first as it has one single picture and changes when you change pages. The second site I think is much more impressive, it uses the same picture that I did on my reviews page but rather than using the frame to show the reviews they have used several to link to the different pages, rather than changing pages most of the stuff shows up over the top whilst the background is faded out. And what makes it better I think is the way that you are able to move the mouse to the edge of the screen and the image scrolls rather than having to do what I did and cut some of it off.

As this was my first website I think I did a pretty good job of making it interactive and in the future with more work on flash I think that I may be able to achieve what they did. One of the set backs that I think I faced was the fact that they were able to use the cast to get the stuff they wanted and probably had links to Disney that allowed them to use what they needed in order to make the site good. I had to make do with the resources that I could find on the web but I was able to put most of it to good use.
