Matt Lucas as Tweedledum and Tweedledee in the movie Alice in Wonderland.

Alice in Wonderland Movie Synopsis: Johnny Depp stars as the Mad Hatter and Mia Wasikowska as 19-year-old Alice, who returns to the whimsical world she first encountered as a young girl, reuniting with her childhood friends: the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Dormouse, the Caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, and of course, the Mad Hatter. Alice embarks on a fantastical journey to find her true destiny and end the Red Queen's reign of terror.
Disney offers this description of Tweedledee and Tweedledum: Tweedledee and Tweedledum (Matt Lucas) are rotund twin brothers who constantly disagree with each other and whose confusing chatter makes little sense to anyone but them.

When Alice arrives in Underland, she looks to the Tweedles for guidance. Innocent and infantile, adorable and sweet, they mean well but are of little real help since they speak in weird rhythms and riddles. "I imagine them as naughty Victorian children, with their hand in the honey jar," says Lucas, the British comedian and actor who plays them both. "And so I have made them quite child-like, which does come naturally to me, because I'm a big kid anyway."
