    Carol’s original book has definitely garnered a following of pretentious critics who projected a little too much of their own perceptions and interpretations onto the material, when really, the author’s true intentions were just to entertain a little girl.
    In a way, it’s almost become the opposite of “Gulliver’s Travels”, where the latter’s social satire has become generally regarded as a mere children’s book. It’s incredibly ironic.

    In my opinion, I think American McGee adapted the Alice in Wonderland story the best
    Yes, this version of the story in the game is twisted and dark as hell, but the whole "defining flaws in our society" is definitely understood the best when it is sharpened and makes a lasting traumatic impression when told as a psychological horror story.

    This movie has always been one of my all time favorites, but even before I'd read the book, I always wondered why no one had sympathized with her in Wonderland if it was supposedly *her* world. I was honestly surprised to know that the movie was going for a message about being careful what you wish for because i didn't see it like that at all when I'd first watched the film. I always viewed it, especially after reading the books, as a fantasy/self-fulfilling world for Alice.

    huuhhhh Alice is my favourite Disney film wym, there’s a plot, alice is charming and flawed, a little defiant and cheeky yet obviously has some behaviours adopted from adults who clearly talk to her - I’ve always loves that it was jokey and fantastical but mostly an interesting story about a girl that does NOT revolve around having a love interest. I love alice in wonderland.

    I love Walt Disney's Alice in Wonderland. Just from the look of the backgrounds and animations, it's gorgeous. I get annoyed that people think movies always need an overarching plot or moral. It's boring.
    I think your critique of Disney shoving in a "be careful what you wish for" moral is thoughtful but overall, it's good they stuck with the book. The problem is changing it *too much* not *too little*

      Well, Walt Disney himself was not pleased with how this film turned out, so I’m surprised that this is the first you’ve heard anyone disliking it. LOL I agree that it’s not one of Disney’s worst by any means, but I personally wouldn’t rank it in my Top 10 Favorite Disney movies. In my honest opinion, “Peter Pan” is the better Silver Age Disney film. But, I can somewhat see the appeal and can understand why some people like this film. 😄

    The book is meant to have no meaning so why should the movie have? I don’t think is has to. And it’s more believable, that in her dream Alice reflects the real world. All somehow off, but still a childish reflection. Not the world she would have dreamed of but the world she has a dream about. There is nothing to learn, nothing to achieve. Just a dream on an afternoon nap.

    This is my favorite movie of the Silver era, but I'd say one thing that hasn't aged very well is the repeated upskirt shots of a girl who's like 11 years old. I guess it was forgivable back then because not as many people simped over animated characters back in the 50s, so I can't really blame Walt Disney or anyone on that movie's development team for this, but it's still something that hasn't aged well, because it makes a child way too easy for people to sexualize.

      @geoffreyrichards6079 14 วันที่ผ่านมา +4

      I don't think that's really their fault, though. I mean, when animating kids, adult animators are required to draw every part of them - including scenes that can raise eyebrows when taken out of context. It all boils down to the intention of the scene.
      For example... I recall a scene in "My Neighbor Totoro" where the two girls take a bath with their father, but the intention is meant to be an intimate bonding moment between the family since bathing together is a casual thing families do in Japan. Does that make it poorly aged in that same regard? Sometimes, the story needs to come first.

    I do concede it has its issues but it is genuinely weird to me how the fandom so disowns it more than even The Black Cauldron or Chicken Little or Home on the Range, any of which have more issues than Alice ever did. It lost money for the studio, sure, but so didn't Sleeping Beauty, Fantasia, and Treasure Planet...

    As a child, I'd read the book, and I'd seen the animated movie. Back then, I enjoyed both. When my sister was a child, we both enjoyed the movie. But now, as an adult, I can see why the movie was flawed. My mom had told me that Lewis Carroll was a mathematician, so the book was supposed to be based on skewered logic. But then the Walt Disney Studios had come along, and turned it into a cutesy, nonsensical movie. Now, I have nothing against Disney. But clearly, the movie was unfaithful to the book. I suppose Disney wanted a simplified version of the book, for audiences to understand. Charles Solomon, the author of The History of Animation, had mentioned that the movie didn't fare well with British audiences, and I can see why. They take their literature very seriously.
    I would also have to agree that in this version, Alice wound up as lonely as she did at the beginning of the movie. Her sister was cold and calculating towards her, and her only friend was her cat, Dinah. She imagined Wonderland to be a place where she could be accepted and find a sense of belonging but found no real connection or solace. The Wonderland characters are mainly antagonistic towards her, except for the Chesire Cat, and the Un-Birthday party doesn't feel earned. At the end, her sister didn't even try to understand her fantasy. "Caterpillar? What are you talking about? Oh, come along. It's time for tea." She and her sister had no real connection, either.
    Clearly, this movie would've been better, if it had been more fleshed out.

    Aside from "Alice in Wonderland" being unfilmable, it already had a distinctive look, due to the original illustrations, which the Disney artists completely ignored. And you can't replace the topsy-turvy logic of the prose with sight gags and mediocre songs.

      Night on the Galactic Railroad is also kinda the thing of unfilmable due to not knowing what the characters look and so they use the manga adaption with the cats as the protagonist and this movie won a price.

      I think they tried their best with what they had. Replicating the original illustrations would’ve been way too difficult to animate with the budget they had at the time (hell, they would’ve been too much to handle even before the war), so they simplified the designs to make it easier for the animation staff.
      Also, I disagree on the sight gags and songs undermining the book’s topsy-turvy logic. If anything, they’re the best resources of conveying the story’s surrealist nature to the audience without resorting to boring exposition. Film is an entirely different medium from literature; you need to utilize its greatest strengths when adapting a work since adhering too much to the original text can create problems in the immersion. I mean… compare Kubrick’s “The Shining” with the TV miniseries adaptation - the latter may be more faithful and informative to the original book, but it’s incredibly slow, monotonous, and far less engaging and scary as a result.
