Have you seen the Jan Svankmajer Alice movie? It actually tries to follow the text and does a decent job. spooky and disorienting

When you said “all-star cast dressed as animals”, it reminded me of the more subtly-costumed live-action The Wind in the Willows from 1996 with a British all-star cast. I’d have preferred if they didn’t stray so far from the book, but it’s a lot of fun.

Funny that he wants to see Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland for Christopher Lee when he only had 2 lines in the movie

I think I actually got more out of the television series then I did with that movie.

Alice Liddell, Lewis Carols “little friend” that inspired the Alice books and to whom he made a gift of the manuscripts, was a brunet. The original illustrations were black and white engravings, and there was no mention of Alice being blond. It was Disney that gave us a blond Alice, and it stuck.

The Alice books were part and parcel of my childhood; the concepts of tumbling down a rabbit hole or stepping through a mirror into other worlds jived beautifully with my rampant imagination. Yes, Lewis Carol was a perv with a very unwholesome fixation on his muse, but they’re all dust now, and we still have the books. I have never heard of an 80s adaptation till now.

I personally think that the 1985 “Alice In Wonderland” was the finest adaptation ever made. The casting was remarkable, the songs were fun and most of all it was so faithful to the books. And yeah, that Jabberwocky was scary as hell. I actually think that Tim Burton fanned with his Jabberwocky, it could have been way scarier and didn’t live up to my 1985 expectations, especially in 3D.

THANK YOU so much for this review! I remember the Jabberwocky scene as a kid and it terrified me!! I saw it again as an adult and was still disturbed by it. Who does that to kids?!?
