I feel the same way this is super weird I thought it was a fan movie but I guess it’s not

Alice in Eraserheadland

He made his costumes like this film, you mean. You can't make something look like something that doesn't yet exist. The thing created after looks like the previous.

Alice looks like she's 34. 😁

The story itself is odd and creepy.

Sorry for waiting so long to respond, but maybe they meant 1933 was the best version? Not that I agree with that either, but would make more sense.

@@Phantomwise2 I agree with that! The one from 1933 is my favorite. It's a technically a little messy, but it's awesome! Crazy only two years separate this one and that one.

The BBC version is excellent and very surreal. It was shown recently by the BBC

Agree!

Not to mention a modern attitude. I can't imagine many girls in the early 30's were so arrogant and snarky.

@@Fireglo Attitudes like that weren't uncommon after the 1920s, and apparently even earlier as the book(wherein lies most the dialogue and emotional responses/cues from/for the characters) was written in the 1800s. People could be quirky, sarcastic or have senses of humor etc back in the 1930s... I suspect there have been such people since the dawn of history, even caveman had things that made each other laugh and individual quirks

Such a bad actress. Just because movies were new in this time doesn't mean they had to make crap like this.

​@@mickeymouse2ablenah you're not an actor

@@mickeymouse2able Hmm...unfortunately, armchair critics with an arrogant sense of entitlement like you cannot resist putting the boot in at any opportunity that comes their way.

It seems to follow the book closely...

I'd argue it's actually aged better than the 1915 version, but not nearly as well as the 1903 version where he's just a normal cat.

@@r.jclark4641 1903 cat was so Avant guard. Deserves posthumous oscar for their work in that bush.

@@CriticoolHitFrom some unknown reason, youtube started to recommended me various versions of Alice in Wonderland, even despite the fact, that I never seen any version during whole life. And I wasn't even interested. I've just seen that cat today. Lol.

@@warrax111 Same. I ended up watching every single iteration of Alice and wonderland available. I still cannot decide if the 1903 or 1915 one is my favorite. The 1915 one is really, really good.

@haziqhakim5995 after I've seen 1915 version, I think I have enough.

Have you seen the French 1970 one on Curiouser and Curiouser's channel? That's a weird one.

Phantomwise I'll check it out.

Phantomwise alright so I watched it. It was pretty trippy.

Ruth Gilbert was 19, but dressed as a younger girl.

when were u born?

@@aries35 August 1993 apparently

@@princesskayla1400 oh! thank u

@@aries35 your welcome

RIP Sweet Alice

There were a lot of actresses and voice talent that had that same high pitched vibe in the 20s/30s.

Hello Adam! I love discussing these films so please feel free to ask any questions you may have. :) 1.) As far as I know, there are no existing notes from the production crew, so I cannot say for sure. However, I've always assumed that it's Alice's dream turning into a nightmare, and she's imagining that her head has been cut off. This doesn't happen in the book or Harrison script so it is original to the film itself. Though it was interesting to note that Disney was planning a similar sequence in which Alice would have woken up right before her head was to chopped off in a guillotine in their 1939 screenplay version. 2.) I can't say for certain, but I think they just didn't have the resources to do so. Those kinds of effects required more time, effort, money, and most importantly, more expertise with filming, which they lacked as an amateur studio. Effects like the rabbit-hole and size changes usually require more elaborate sets, and I have the suspicion that the sets in the film are not uniquely made for Alice and are probably reusable ones they had (I need to do a little more research on that). The only effects they do have are achieved by manipulating the film. They do a half-hearted attempt at size changes at 5:45, by just distorting the film. Plus, the audience would have been used to seeing Alice without a rabbit-hole. Now we're used to school or community theater productions, that usually put in time and effort to cleverly portray sequences like the rabbit-hole. However, at that time very amateur plays put on by neighborhood kids or families were more common. These had no budget, usually had little preparation time, and were simply for the fun. That was why Mrs. Burton Harrison's Alice script, which skipped the rabbit-hole, became so popular. Usually films try to do things that _cannot_ be done onstage, but 1931's crew thought that an all-sound Alice was novelty enough. In a way, it was done for fun, like those simpler plays. And it is funny that you mentioned 1915! Actually, the original 2-hour version did have size changes, at least in the Rabbit's House! Though that production was also amateur, they had a larger budget and were much more ambitious. From the rabbit-hole footage we were lucky to find, we can assume that these effects were lacking, even for the time. Later releases cut these effects out completely so it wouldn't look as outdated in the 1920's. Hopefully, other releases will eventually surface with these missing effects.

+Phantomwise Oh ok i see. Thank you so much for replying. I like discussing these type of things with you. I've been obsessed with Alice since i was 6. So my heart....*checks to see if the Queen is listening* flies having to find another fun person to discuss with. I really appreciate your answering me. And if i made add, on the size part, I've seen other plays like Tim Kelly who have Alice drop in Wonderland like this film, i personally like that just for the purpose of adding to the nonsense. Oh and if you ever on RU-vid look up Alice in Wonderland Devised part 1 and 2 Its dark but very enjoyable. They change Off With Their Heads to Out With Their Hearts. Its fun. Thank you again for taking time to answer you are an interesting person. God bless

They decided to punish him for murdering Time at the Queen's concert by making him dance and try to keep Time. This is a bit bizarrely added in Mrs. Burton Harrison's script "Alice in Wonderland: a Play for Children in Three Acts," which the film is based on. The script says Hatter "finally falls exhausted, and is picked up, carried to seat, and extinguisher clapped on his head" (the extinguisher being the 'suppressing' bag). So, I think he is supposed to have fainted, but the film's not very clear on it. As for Alice, I have no idea why she's crying and why they keep interjecting it into the scene. The script makes no mention of her crying.

She was. 😐

@@user-up8jx3mt6j actually?

Her name is Ruth Gilbert, and she died in 1993. She was in a movie in 1992 called me, myself, and i.

#mIproject she reminds to me Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy)

Well, Blondies certainly a bit of a looker, shocking SYRUP mind! 😂

andrew vincent I actually looked it up and was surprised to learn Jimmy Rosen WAS in the Wizard of Oz according to this site www.aveleyman.com/ActorCredit.aspx?ActorID=27480 but it doesn't say anything about being a lollipop boy. He died in 1940 so Oz would have been one of his last movies.

That version is so better and fascinating. You ARE talking about the one in which Cary Grant plays the mock turtle? Very weird version. The black and white makes it look like the Tenniel drawings.

Hey Jake! I'm so very flattered, but I have a boyfriend. Thank you for the kind words on the blog, I appreciate them a lot!

​@haziqhakim5995they're from alice in wonderland 1915 version

Well, he was born in 1936 I think, 5 years after this movie was made.

"She boxed the Queen's ears." More on boxing ears: blogs.commons.georgetown.edu/engl-355-fall2013/2013/09/25/boxing-the-ears/

Oh..... That makes sense now.

@@thatwordjr2309 Yeah he said "Boxed her ears" as in, I guess she smacked her. The 1982 version is probably the best way to demonstrate that action. In regards to her f*cking the queen's ears, with this film and the play it's based on, shipping the Duchess and the White Rabbit, I wouldn't be surprised if he did say that. If the f-bomb was a common curse word back then.

bro has dirty mind,lol
