The all-time famous Disney movie was what drew me to Alice. Blush

Don't be ashamed... If I hadn't watched Disney's movie, you all wouldn't have this forum to post on Smile

My dad read to me a lot when I was really little, especially at bedtime. He read me Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, and I've been in love ever since ♥

I was about five or six when they were playing AAIW the movie(disney). Since me and my dad were leaving school care, I only saw a clip...Alice poking her head out of the trees fighting the sparrow. Later, we rented the movie. I loved it. I've been hooked on AAIW&TTLG ever since


Didn't you say, Mad Katter, that you absolutely hated the Disney movie?

As for the Disney film -- a load of rubbish, dumbing down a wonderful piece of literature, fantasy and cleverness to a pathetically low level.


Disney was normally like that in his movies. He often likes "dumbing down" fairy tales, novels, etc. in his movies, although I have nothing against it, since I happen to be a fan of Walt Disney cartoons.

American Mcgee's Alice was, honest to God, what drew me to the originals. Disney frustrated It may seem a little insulting, but this is what sparked my interest. I'm a natural video game fan at heart, so this is how I first considered reading them. I always had them, but I just didn't bother. Apologies to anyone that is insulted by my insolence, I have read both Wonderland and Looking glass now.

Well, as a child, I would always watch Disney movies. I assume Alice was one of them I would frequently watch, but I don't remember. Two years ago, I believe, on Easter, Disney Channel played Alice in Wonderland. I recorded it, and by then I fell in love with it, found it so light and fun, and I adored the tea party scene with the music.
Just last year I read the books, though, when looking for information for my photography project, which most of you are aware of.

Nonsense drew me.

I love how Carroll explores very vital themes in a way that is summarily dismissed by many. Yet the story lives on because of its innate truth. Sometimes people learn more from things they don't take seriously.

But, then again, I never take much of anything seriously. So just ignore all that. Disney confused

Many things drew me,
I actually halfway believe sometimes that I am the real alice!

I experienced sexual abuse as a child which led me down a path of illogical thoughts and experiences
I have anorexia, which caused me to relate alot to "eat me drink me" and growing and shrinking,
And honestly,
I am pretty nonsensical. I can compare everyone in my life to A character in alice, and I worship Carrol like a god Disney confused
