An American fantasy directed by Norman Z McLeod, starring Cary Grant and Gary Cooper.
A compressed version of Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.
Holy shit! I didn't know that such great films were made in 1933. As far as early movies go, I would rank this among Nosferatu, Haxan, Metropolis and Journey to the Moon. The special effects were as cheap, cheesy and easy as they come, but looked so "in place". I liked that the plot spanned both sections and that it went through them so quickly. Watching a film this old should not be a long, drawn out process. I got a version on Archive.org with incoherent subtitles that I was tempted to pause and read for humor, but turned them off to actually watch the movie. The sets were absolutely beautiful and the costumes matched. I have to rate this best because for that time, it is one of the top 5 films I've seen.
An American musical fantasy directed by Harry Harris, starring Sammy Davis Jr.
Alice's classic adventure in Wonderland is told.
Making this a musical was a terrible idea. The other terrible idea was the costume design. Everything seemed like it was thrown together on a low budget without any planning. The musical numbers were annoying and the actors' faces sticking out of the stupid costumes looked foolish. The plot was mostly based on the 1951 Disney film, but included some parts of the book that weren't in the Disney version and also left out some that the Disney version included. Overall, it was unprofessional and I didn't like it. I rate this bad.
A fantasy directed by Nick Willing, under Hallmark Entertainment, starring Whoopi Goldberg, Gene Wilder and Christopher Lloyd, with special effects by Jim Henson's creature shop.A girl follows a rabbit into a fantasy world.These people took the Alice in Wonderland story and threw it in a blender. Then Jim Henson puppets were added along with some digital effects. The outcome is a strange mix of crappiness and Henson style magic. The plot was a jumbled mess and the whole thing seemed forced. I'm rating it o.k. because I liked the Henson creatures, but everything else was terrible.
An animated fantasy directed by Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson and Hamilton Luske.A girl falls asleep and dreams of a fantasy world where nothing makes sense.Being a Disney film, this obviously has new world order programming all through it. I'll just do the easy stuff here as I'm sure there are many alice in wonderland exposes out there.When Alice falls down the rabbit hole, everything turns upside down (reverse naming of government organizations) and nothing makes any sense (look around the world we are in). The first clear illuminati character she meets is the elite puffin. He stands on a rock getting dry while he orders his followers to run around a flooding area to get dry. Later, he proposes drastic measures to get Alice out of the white rabbit's house when she is too big. He does not participate in the procedures until he is the only one working on the problem after the problem is gone. Is this ringing a bell to anyone yet? One of the workers that the puffin snags is a reptilian hybrid. Enough said. During the walrus and the carpenter bit, on the calendar in the oyster bed, the letter R is emphasized. This is a reference to the Rosicrucian secret society. Later in the film, Alice sees many anthropomorphic creatures in the forest. They are all doing something to lead her off course. This is a reference to the mainstream media, as she is looking for a path, but one of the creatures sweeps it away. At the end of the film, Alice meets the queen of hearts, a tyrant and a dictator. It would be un-American to leave a tyrant in control, but notice what happens in this American film: Alice leaves and the tyranny continues. I'm not going to go into drug references, as the film (the tea party especially) is full of them.I'm rating this film adequate because I kind of like it and it also has freemasonic symbolism to talk about. This might be a good starting point for an education in symbolism, as the film is rife with it.
the alice in wonderland story using stop motion animation by jan svankmajerthe video was a little dark and the sound effects were loud and grating on my ears. it also looked very dirty (for lack of any other suitable word). some of the characters looked like they had been rotting in someone's attic for a few decades and the tarts that alice eats looked like they were the last made by some old woman before she died.check out: "all the animals" that get out of the carridge and the caterpillar.it sure was weird enough for me. if you're looking for the opposite of the disney version, you've found it! I'll say it's o.k. if you're into stop motion animation, it's definitely worth seeing, but nothing fantastic.
