Alice In Wonderland…a look back

Twas Brillig!

With a yet another new version of Alice In Wonderland being released today in a theater near you, I thought I’d take a look back in the Internet Archive to see what we have.

Here is the first movie version from 1903: http://www.archive.org/details/Alice_in_Wonderland_1903

I liked this one a bit better: http://www.archive.org/details/AliceInWonderland1915_503. That’s one angry looking white rabbit.

Of course we have many texts. I enjoyed this one with the pen and ink drawings dispersed throughout: http://www.archive.org/stream/alicesadventwond00carrrich#page/n5/mode/2up

And if you have the time but don’t want to read, you might enjoy this reading by author Cory Doctorow: http://www.archive.org/details/AliceInWonderlandReadByCoryDoctorow

Last, here’s a live version of White Rabbit by Irish performer Cara Cowan: http://www.archive.org/details/BandwidthFilmsCaraCowan-WhiteRabbit_JeffersonAirplane_Part2of2_   white rabbit

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!’

It’s down the rabbit hole for me….

    Very cool!
    Alice Liddel was my great-great-grandmother Isabel’s cousin; Isabel was with them on the outings where the author told the stories.
    It’s great to find these lesser-known renditions of the story.
    Thank you!

    I like this movie especially at one place Alice helps to retrieve Bandersnatch’s eye without any expectation, But finally Bandersnatch drove her to escape from Red Rose Queen. Where the moral says we should help unexpectedly. Once again you remember me this movie. Thank you so much. I will be happy to watch Alice movie in 3d will you send in archieve…? Thanks in advance.
