We’re all mad here…
- Alice in Wonderland (2010)
Director: Tim Burton
A Difference from the Original: Burton literally has created an entirely new plot based upon the Carroll’s original characters - Alice in Wonderland (1988)
Director: Jan Svankmajer
A Difference from the Original: This one conjures up some slightly terrifying images for its audience. Like the White Rabbit breaking out of a glass case to then walk over the broken glass as he sews himself back together… - Alice in Wonderland (1966)
Director: Jonathan Miller
A Difference from the Original: The characters from Wonderland are all in Victorian dress. This is thought to reinforce the idea that all the characters are representations of adults in Alice’s ‘real world’ - Disney’s Alice in Wonderland (1951)
Director: Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske
A Difference from the Original: This movie keeps Carroll’s plot, but was actually an initial failure (believed to be due to the film’s ‘unfilmable’ nature). It was said that the film was, “a series of disconnected bits of weirdness” - Alice in Wonderland (1985)
Director: Harry Harris
A Difference from the Original: This series has the same ‘innocence’ that is infused within a lot of 80s films. It also has some more minor deviations from the original story such as the Queen of Hearts being turned into a sheep at one stage…
