Summary: A 1903 silent film directed by Cecil Hepworth and starring May Clark in this more twisted version of Wonderland. It has a total of eight minutes in length but it was the longest movie to date. There are good special effects for the early 1900s of Alice shrinking and growing in the doll house... (Wikipedia.org)
Another landmark film in the development of plot, although it's obvious constructive and driving use of editing didn't come around until Griffith started filming. It's really more funny than impressive nowadays.
An impressive adaptation for its time. The attention paid to props and costuming is particularly remarkable. Mostly a curiosity, but worth checking out if you have time.
The ambition of early filmmakers trying to animate the major bits of the novel is worth an applaud. Eerie and raw. Come on, you can't get bored in 8 minutes film watched for historical value. For a better alternative just go for Svankmajer version. Next year Burton is also coming with an adaptation.
Looking back at it considering the times in which it was made, but still trying to fairly criticize it, it's not really very interesting. Great score, but the film is very repetitive and dosen't have enough great moments - and yes, I know it was the longest film to date when it came out, but no burgoise kid in 1903 asked for the fucking Lord of the Rings trilogy of the early 20th century. Time didn't do any good to this film.
Actually pretty good fun considering how old it is and some of the effects are really ambitious. Also, the executioner (clearly a fairly young child) plays his role with gusto and venom!
Creepy. Think the White Rabbit just made me doo-doo all the way down to my shoe-uh. Eerie stuff. I'll never forget you, remarkably well-dressed White Rabbit with potbelly. For better or for worse. Loved the Cheshire Cat too. An intertitle announces: "The Cheshire Cat leads Alice to the Mad Hatter". Cut to an insert of a random housecat looking idly left and right and doing absolutely nothing. That Cheshire Cat ain't leading no one nowhere. It's just sitting and staring, Hepworth.
