[The Queen of Hearts]

I have this in a cartoon collection, but completely forgot about it! Thanks for bringing it to mind again!

I think this Jabberwock (not Jabberwocky, apparently Woolverton watched this as a child ) has to be one of the goofiest looking when it comes to a comparison of the original image and some of the other ways it has been portrayed.

Isn't it fun I'd never seen it before

The Jabberwock(y) is very silly-looking, particularly as the other characters are quite close to the Tenniels

Nice to see The Gryphon and The Mock Turtle getting some acknowledgement for once, and I thought it was interesting that they called The Hatter 'The Mad Hatter' - so not just a Disney thing

I too watched the Betty in Blunderland video. That was so funny. I remember some of the characters, but not like the pretty soup who posted ahead of me.

[The Queen of Hearts]

Nice to see The Gryphon and The Mock Turtle getting some acknowledgement for once, and I thought it was interesting that they called The Hatter 'The Mad Hatter' - so not just a Disney thing.

I agree, sometimes I wonder why it is that they and the Duchess rarely made it into things like this despite them all appearing in multiple chapters of the book.

Ed Wynn must have been popular in his day; Gandy Goose in Terrytoons is based on him. I remember him in Mary Poppins playing the goofy uncle.

Ed Wynn was quite popular Lois, as this article illustrates:

[Beautiful Soup]

He gets a mention in one of the Jeeves and Wooster stories as *someone famous* who they encounter while they're in New York city

Ooh, lovely. Old cartoons are always wonderful.
