I had my own mini picnic with a sandwich and soup while watching this! I also found the Disney movie disturbing as a child (Tweedledee and Tweedledum were especially off-putting to me, and the Cheshire cat was so creepy), though I did like the 1999 made-for-tv movie with Whoopi Goldberg as the Cheshire cat! Couldn't really get into the Tim Burton 2010 version; I was expecting a straight adaptation of the book, not the weird "sequel" that he ended up giving us. I wish he'd just done a straight adaptation instead. I think it would have been really good!
Sounds like you had a healthier picnic than me! :) I'm glad to hear I'm not alone! I found the Tweeds quite annoying as well. The thing I found the most disturbing though were the poor oysters that got eaten (which, funnily enough, isn't even in the book). My sensitive little heart couldn't take that. I don't know why I didn't mention the Tim Burton version in the video, but I see what you mean. I wasn't a fan of the "sequel" format, either, I think it would have been a better choice to just do an adaptation with a few tweaks here and there.
You would have to say that the story belongs to the manic or phantasmagoric style of fairytale.Incidentally,you may be familiar with the hit song Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now by the band Starship,but in an earlier incarnation when they were known as Jefferson Airplane they had the hit song White Rabbit inspired by Alice's Adventures In Wonderland!💝
Goodness, I had to google "phantasmagoric" and now I've learned something new! It does feel like an accurate description to be honest. And I'm not surprised, I'm sure there are a good number of examples where "Alice" has inspired other artists 😊
Many people attribute the bizarre quality of the Alice story to psychedelics, at least some sorts of mushrooms. opium. etc. 19th century drugs--- no 20th century LSD, Still, with or without the above, Lewis Carol had quite an.imagination!!
