That was fantastic! I'm so happy to have found a series of videos dedicated to one of my favorite books. This is one of my favorite adaptations, if not my favorite. I understand where you're coming from, but I personally delight in how grotesque and morbid everything is. Looking forward to future videos!
Also, I'd like to recommend a coffee-table book called Alice's Wonderland by Catherine Nichols, which gives a comprehensive run-down of many different Alice versions. Of course there's that 1985 American TV version, but I've just also been reminded of two BBC versions that owe a lot to Doctor Who alumni--a 1973 version that stars Sarah "Nyssa" Sutton as Alice and a 1986 version directed by Barry Letts that featured Elisabeth "Sarah Jane Smith" Sladen as the Dormouse and other actors who'd shown up in Doctor Who.
The only part that really disturbed me in this movie was when the mouse on her head was nailing those things onto her head… but that twist ending at the end had me gasping I said whattttttttttt.
yeah i disagree i definitely acquire the taste i love this version and i like it more then the 1966 miller film but i get why its not your cup of tea like you said its 100% an acquired taste by the way i just found this channel and im loving this series
I honestly have to agree with you on the rating on this movie. I was super excited when I first heard about it. It seemed to have all the things that were up my alley. Dark, gruesome, morbid, psychological and completely in dream logic (I do think too many people try to give Wonderland a point when it's literally just a dream). However, the first time I watched it, I couldn't even get through the first few minutes. And on my second watch, I had to force myself to finish it. Which was sad because, again, it had the recipe of everything I liked. But, I think my issue with the film is simply it's pacing. (Also, nice to see a series dedicated to adaptations of one of my favorite stories of all time!)
May I suggest that future episodes of this series review the 1949 Lou Bunin version, the Great Performances version with Kate Burton, and the "Alice"-inspired "Phoebe in Wonderland"?
It is a masterpiece of stop and live animation. Grotesque and nightmarish vision of Carroll's book. Mesmerizing as a film of surreal imagination from the mind of Jan Svankmajer. One of a kind! I wonder what Ray Harryhausen thought about this adaptation. " I'm late! I'm late! For a very horrific date! "
You could do a mini-installment of Tom Petty's "Don't Come Around Here No More" video... (Hats off to Tom: he achieved the impossible. He made Alice in Wonderland WEIRDER.)
@@Gambit771 and it takes a few seconds to look it up. it's like Yan Shvahnk-MAyehr. Shortening people's names because you don't bother asking or taking seconds or a minute to learn it is just...
Love your Channel! Please reach out if u wanna talk anything AIW-related. I also recommend if you’re interested, Pandora Hearts. It’s a pretty Alice influenced anime series! Malice in Wonderland (2009 movie) also comes to mind!!
Alas, no. :( Life has been busy, and I haven't had time to prepare anything special this year. Maybe next year I'll have something, though, if life and planning permit it. :)
