I Watch Films: Alice In Wonderland (1951)
Alice In Wonderland (1951) In 1865 Alice is listening to her older sister read history, which is boring. She sees a white rabbit with a watch and waistcoat, who claims to be late. Following him down a rabbit hole she falls down a deep hole. Trying to get through a door at the bottom she eats and drinks various substances and grows and shrinks. Finally passing through she finds herself in a strange land – Wonderland – with many odd inhabitants. A cartoon version of the novel, with many of the absurd and ridiculous events turned into fantastical scenes. The gossiping flowers, Alice growing and shrinking, the Caterpillar all excellent. Drawing on previous illustrations, it manages to keep the dream logic of the original mostly intact. Watch This: Brilliantly visualised version of the book Don’t Watch This : Read the book instead
