Welcome back for my (Post) Halloween Blog Party!
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland:
A little girl, Alice, seeing a rabbit wearing a waistcoat, follows him down a rabbit hole into a hall with many doors and through one door, Alice can see a beautiful garden. And she so wants to get to it. So she meets many peculiar animals and she grows to all sorts of sizes. She gets so ordered about she never has been so ordered about in her whole life! Things just keep getting "curiouser and curiouser". If you do read it, I highly recommend getting a version with the original pictures. "and what is the use of a book," thought Alice, "without pictures or conversations?"
Characters: 10! My! There are so many, and so funny!
Alice
The Cheshire Cat, "Did you say pig, or fig?"
Favorite Scene: The kitchen scene! I laugh so hard when I read it.
Overall Score: 10!!!!!
VS.
Alice in Wonderland (1951):
Alice, sees a rabbit "wearing a waistcoat!" and getting curious follows him through a rabbit hole and into a wonderful land, when there are very interesting people. She follows him all over the place and finally she wants to go home. All this in her very own Wonderland.
Costumes: 7, there aren't very many and it is animated, but we do have Alice's classic garb.
Script: 7, They do follow the book pretty well... one thing that bothered me was that some things the Mad Hatter says very seriously in the book, he says with a laugh.
"You know Dinah, we really oughtn't be doing this."
Crew:
Directed by:
Clyde Geronimi
Wilfred Jackson
Hamilton Luske
Produced by: Walt Disney

Sterling Holloway as the Cheshire Cat

Music: 10, the music is lovely!
Music by: Oliver Wallace
Quotes: 9,
"I'm late! I'm late! I'm late for a very important date!"
"Don't just do something, stand there!"
Storyline: 6 Well, it is combined with Through the Looking Glass, but it would be nice if there was just a movie of ALICE IN WONDERLAND! Because, they always take out the Mock Turtle, and the Duchess. The gardeners were Ace, 2, and 3 of clubs, when they should be 5, 2, and 7 of spades. I'm glad they included "Father William."
Notes: How did she not get paint on herself? In the White Rabbit's house she grew too big. Took her a very long time to get back to the Caterpiller.
Overall score: 8
Book wins!
"The Queen of Hearts, she made some tarts..."
Thoughts on her.

In the book, is quite harmless, as the Gryphon says, "It's all her fancy, that: they never executes nobody, you know." But in movies, boy! is she evil! She is a very selfish queen every thing has to go her way or, "OFF WITH THEIR HEAD!" You can see she wants people to please her. She loves presents of all kinds! But, she is after all, "Just a card!" So, how much can she do to you? Unless you're only so high... |
