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 ♥

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

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.

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.  _________________ Feste's Lute:

when my 11th grade trigonometry teacher said-
"Most people confuse those for being children's novels, they're not. they're logic novels" and then he gave the "well, i eat what i see and i see what i eat don't mean the same thing..." example.
it blew my mind.

I like Alice's character.
Her attitudes and moods in certain situations are similar to mine.
We both think too hard,
obedient,
but tend to get ourselves into trouble with our curiosity and clumsiness.
That's partially why I like Alice, she and I would have a lot of fun if we hung out.

I agree with you... When I was about 6 or 7 or even younger I saw the Disney movie and I totally fell in love with Alice! She looks like me: a little child with head in the clouds, curious, well-mannered but sometimes cheeky and touchy, but also thoughtful and kind...And she's a daydreamer, she wants to escape from reality, she wants to live in another world, like me!
And I was fascinated by the very particular and original story and the strange characters! So some years later my parents decided to buy the books of Carroll for me  And I appreciated (and I still appreciate) the books very much, they're way better than any other movie!! (But I still love the Disney movie, which introduced me to the magic world of Alice and reminds me of my childhood)
Then I was obsessed with Alice and I remember I did a lot of research on the author, on the books, on the movies...
And now that I'm grown I love these books not only for the characters and the story, but also for Carroll'style, for the fantastic nonsense, for how the author makes fun of the Queen Victoria, the coventions, the English proverbs, of everything, for the many different interpretations that everybody tries to give to this story!
It's simply fantastic! I love Alice in Wonderland <3
