1951. This animated cartoon is Disney's famous adaptation of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking glass'.

Alice in Wonderland movie from 1985. Now finally available on DVD: Harry Harris's T.V. movie with the famous guest stars. A well known version that many people are searching for.

It consist of two parts: Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass, which are both included on this dvd.

The movie is based on Carroll's books, but the script was adapted to suit the famous guest stars. The Jabberwock may be a little too scary for young children.

1988. Svankmajer's adaptation of Alice in Wonderland mixes animation and live action to create a dreamlike world, but it is not simply a kid's film.

Alice watches a stuffed and mounted rabbit come to life in her playroom and follows it through a magical drawer into a strange world that resembles a 19th-century toy store come to life.

Svankmajer uses familiar objects in unfamiliar ways, giving a fantasy quality to the banal (and the not so banal) while tipping the dream logic to the edge of nightmare. The movie may have a somewhat disturbing effect on the viewer.

Writer-director Nick Willing created these Alice in Wonderland miniseries, which were broadcasted on SyFy channel.

Willing's Alice (Caterina Scorsone) is a grown woman (and karate instructor) whose lack of luck in love seems to have finally taken a turn toward the positive with Jack (Philip Winchester). Their idyll is shattered when Jack is abducted, and Alice's search for him leads her to Wonderland, now overrun by gloom and vice and anachronistic machinery, and lorded over by a Queen of Hearts (Kathy Bates) who kidnaps people from the "real" world to harvest their emotions.

1999. This version of Lewis Carroll's story was originally produced for NBC-TV.

It also contains elements from 'Through the Looking Glass' (which are mixed up with those from 'Alice's Adventures...').

The storyline is not very true to the books, but the film has some great special effects, many dealing with multiple perspectives as Alice constantly changes sizes.

Documentary about Lewis Carroll, that examines the coming together of the writer and his muse, the society they inhabited, and their relationship that is still the subject of much controversy, as well as the effect it had on their subsequent lives.

Alice in Wonderland (1903 version)

1985. Dark fantasy story about the real Alice, who is invited to New York at the age of 80 to attend the celebrations for Carroll's centenary.

She is unable to understand all the fuss, and she is being confronted once again with her own repressed memories of her childhood with Carroll.

The film uses flashbacks and dreams in which we see how fascinated Carroll was with the little Alice.

Written by Dennis Potter, and Jim Henson's Creature Shop provided the Wonderland characters.

I liked the movie, but I think it suggested too strongly a sexual aspect in Carroll's love for Alice. The puppets also look somewhat 'dead', but this may be intentional.

Fully remastered version (with CGI) of the Paramount 1933 Alice in Wonderland movie, starring a.o. Charlotte Henry, Cary Grant, and WC Fields.
The story is a mixed version of Carroll's two 'Alice' books.

Remastered BBC Alice in Wonderland movie from 1966. Directed by Cecil M. Hepworth.

1972. British all-star musical (a significant part of the story is expressed through song and sometimes dance) adaptation which is very true to the book, except for the fact that Alice doesn't meet the Cheshire Cat and that Tweedle Dum & Dee are in it.

Musical score by John Barry.

1983. This theater production of Alice in Wonderland is based on a famous production from the 1930s.

All the sets and costumes are meticulously based on the illustrations from the original books. The story line is a mix of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

1966 interpretation by Jonathan Miller, a noted British theater director.

Influenced by surrealism and Victorian architecture, Miller's black-and-white version of Wonderland is a dour and creepy place, not the frenetic and charming bustle usually depicted.

A brunette Alice (Anne-Marie Mallik) wanders like a sleepwalker, rarely looking anyone in the eye, and has fractured conversations with the likes of the Mad Hatter (Peter Cook), the Caterpillar (Sir Michael Redgrave), the Duchess (Leo McKern), and the Mock Turtle (Sir John Gielgud).

2007. Opera from Korean composer Unsuk Chin

1950. A co-French/British production, also known as 'Alice au pays des merveilles'.
