The first-ever film version of Lewis Carroll's tale has recently been restored by the BFI National Archive from severely damaged materials. Made just 37 years after Lewis Carroll wrote his novel and eight years after the birth of cinema, the adaptation was directed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow, and was based on Sir John Tenniel's original illustrations. In an act that was to echo more than 100 years later, Hepworth cast his wife as the Red Queen, and he himself appears as the Frog Footman. Even the Cheshire cat is played by a family pet. With a running time of just 12 minutes (8 of which survive), Alice in Wonderland was the longest film produced in England at that time. Film archivists have been able to restore the film's original colours for the first time in over 100 years.
Music: 'Jill in the Box', composed and performed by Wendy Hiscocks.
This restoration was supported by The Headley Trust and The Pilgrim Trust.

Risner France Garces - It’s true. Alice Liddell lived until 1934, a whole 31 years after this film first released. Here’s some more info, if you’re interested: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_Liddell

I love these kids too. They were only kids that lived in the 1900's that's all but they had leisure and games even if they had no TV or video games like today kids. Kids of that time smiled when they were filmed or had fun with their siblings and they had dolls and other toys fortunately especially in wealthy families.I love seeing kids of this era.

Especially the growing/shrinking, and the superimposition of the Cheshire Cat. If you think about how hard that would be to do with raw film, it most likely left audiences in awe. I'm glad this was preserved and shared with us. :)

@dunzerkug
@dunzerkug 9 лет назад
So there is a remote possibility but most likely not since the oldest person alive was born in 1898. Also, the cards aren't main characters, and your age estimation is a bit off, one of the cards would have been 10 at the time of the movie, so most likely 5 or 6 which would require they be as old or older than the handful of people known to be born before 1900.

Wonderful! And we have to remember that, at the time this was made, just the novelty of seeing pictures that moved was still fresh in the minds of the public, let alone the primitive, but at that time, innovative SFX. And the Cheshire Cat--even though he is without his characteristic smile, now likely qualifies this as being the oldest Cat Video posting on RU-vid! ...maybe...

A true masterpiece. A precious gem of the silent film era! I love this! I wish I could watch the remaining 4 minutes that are lost... :( But at least 8 minutes survived. :)

By far the most impressive part was the pack of cards running riot at the end, which is appropriate since this is the finale.This sequence also had minimal picture damage, which helped a great deal.

I found this to be delightful. Even though the effects were primitive. They still impressed me. It's amazing what simple trickery can do. Although perhaps it wasn't simple at the time. Who knows. My two negative points. (i) the actress was too old,and the flashing was a diastraction, but still bfi, thank you for this.

This picture was remarkably well made and sophisticated for it's time. The special effects were actually quite good. And what is remarkable is that all of those actors except the baby were born in the 19th century!

I've seen quite a few people who say this is fake, that it looks that it could be purposely damaged as the movements of the actors look too smooth for a 1903 camera and the resolution looks too good for that time even is it has been restored. Not sure what to think of those claims, but I noticed that if you pretend the damage to the film isn't there in certain parts of the film the resolution and the motion, I would imagine would, look quite smooth for an early 1900's film. But I still don't think this is fake, I mean there's articles and history documented on this film, it's actors, the director etc. Am I being too gullible to those claims?. I'm no expert on film or photography so can some one set me straight?
@snakehands
@snakehands 10 лет назад
I initially thought it was fake but I found several articles online that support it's authenticity; I also read that it was included as bonus footage in several new DVD releases.
@adambelfast1
@adambelfast1 10 лет назад
snakehands Yeah I read up on a lot sources that this is real but those claims that say this is fake kind of hold a good point, but I'm convincved this is real. As historical or popular this is surely experts would have debunked this long ago if this is fake
@The_Butler_Did_It
@The_Butler_Did_It 10 лет назад
The biggest argument against this being fake is what would be the point? There are so many authentic films around from this period that I really can't see anything to be gained by the B.F.I and a great deal of credibility to be lost if they were found to be involved in a pointless hoax.
@ScreamingAllTheTime
@ScreamingAllTheTime 4 года назад
Also, movement never really is an exact thing with older film. The reason older film actors seem to move the way they do is mostly stylistic, to make do for the lack of audio, something that not every film HAD to do, of course, but strange movement also comes in part of frame rate changes that people were unaware of when scanning or showing film, often showing it too slow or too fast than originally intended.
@horseenthusiast1250
@horseenthusiast1250 4 года назад
As a clothing history nerd, I highly doubt this is fake. The clothing all the actors wear is very clearly an early 1900's attempt at whimsy; it's like how in modern costumes you can tell the silhouette is still influenced by modern sensibilities most times, the same is happening for their era here. It's especially noticeable for Alice and the Queen of Hearts (just LOOK at the shape of her dress). For the level of details that fit right into how early 1900's clothes worked, it'd have to either be original or a very, very, very, very, VERY well researched reproduction.
