Alice In Wonderland in stories, films, television, theatre and multimedia. He based the central character on Alice herself, and wove into the story many of the places and things which they'd seen on their outings in Oxford. Alice asked him to write it down, and the story became "Alices' Adventures Underground", then "Alices' Adventures in Wonderland". The title is often shortened to "Alice In Wonderland". www.alice-in-wonderland.fsnet.co.uk   (293 words)

Alice in Wonderland Alice was not a bit hurt, and she jumped up on to her feet in a moment: she looked up, but it was all dark overhead; before her was another long passage, and the White Rabbit was still in sight, hurrying down it. Alice had no idea what to do, and in despair she put her hand in her pocket, and pulled out a box of comfits, (luckily the salt water had not got into it), and handed them round as prizes. Alice thought the whole thing very absurd, but they all looked so grave that she did not dare to laugh; and, as she could not think of anything to say, she simply bowed, and took the thimble, looking as solemn as she could. www.ebbemunk.dk /alice/alice1.html   (4404 words)

Alice in Wonderland Review - The Ultimate Cary Grant Pages Examination of Alice by the Red and the White Queens is a first rate bit of spirited comedy by Edna May Oliver; W.C. Fields brusque handling of the Humpty-Dumpty scene is excellent, and throughout the acting of Charlotte Henry, as Alice is entirely unaffected and charming. Alice and those pleasantly mad companions of her trips in Wonderland and through the Looking-Glass are now busy entertaining youngsters, and those who would like to be, in 225 theatres in this country and Canada, including the Paramount of this city. In the initial stages of the film, Alice is eager to get out in the snow, and as the time passes and the world becomes unreal, she finds herself visiting the looking-glass room, where the clock has an insolent fashion of booming out the hour. www.carygrant.net /reviews/alice.html   (1844 words)

Don Markstein's Toonopedia: Alice in Wonderland He considered it to lack sympathetic characters, such as Alice herself (unrelated to the Alice from early in Disney's career), who wasn't very likable in Lewis Carroll's 1865 story, either, or in its 1872 sequel. It may be that the problems with Disney's Alice in Wonderland stem mostly from the fact that Disney and Carroll were both creative geniuses whose works strongly represent their own sensibilities, and any given story generally has room for only one. Later cartoon adaptations of Carroll's Alice include a comic book in the Classics Illustrated Junior series, which is still traded in the collector market, and a 1966 Hanna-Barbera TV cartoon special, which critics don't seem to have liked very much. www.toonopedia.com /alice.htm   (549 words)

Alice in Wonderland   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Alice began to feel very uneasy: to be sure, she had not as yet had any dispute with the Queen, but she knew that it might happen any minute, ‘and then,’ thought she, ‘what would become of me? They're dreadfully fond of beheading people here; the great wonder is, that there's any one left alive!’ Alice thought she might as well go back, and see how the game was going on, as she heard the Queen's voice in the distance, screaming with passion. The moment Alice appeared, she was appealed to by all three to settle the question, and they repeated their arguments to her, though, as they all spoke at once, she found it very hard indeed to make out exactly what they said. deron.meranda.us /literature/alice/wonderland/wonderland8.html   (1940 words)

Alice in Wonderland (1951) Among the suggestions are, "because Edgar Allan Poe wrote on both" and "because the notes for which they are noted are not noted for being musical notes" (the second of which is very similar to a solution that Lewis Carroll himself wearily suggested when he grew tired of people asking him about it). Alice in Wonderland on the surface is a dreamlike fantasy about a child nodding off and visiting a wonderful wonderland where flowers sing, caterpillars smoke and rabbits talk. Aside from the King (Hooray) of Hearts, each character only serves to hinder Alice in her attempts to come to terms with her warped dream. www.imdb.com /title/tt0043274   (846 words)

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Study Guide Alice continues to "stick her foot in her mouth." Cite examples from this chapter and explain the result of each. "It doesn't matter a bit," Alice says, and again, "I don't believe there's an atom of meaning in it." Soon afterward, she takes charge of the situation and "stands up for herself." In the eyes of many critics and readers of Alice, this assertion/growing is the meaning of the story. Mapping Alice at least twice (after A Pool of Tears and at the end of the book for example) should lead the reader to some good insights into her growth. www.leasttern.com /alice/alice.htm   (3106 words)

Alice In Wonderland Michael Sirotta's Alice in Wonderland is a children's musical/operetta based on Lewis Carroll's well known dream-adventure novella. The score to Alice has been digitally orchestrated using symphonic, guitar, and percussion samples, as well as exotic synthesized sound which enhances the story's magical aura. All the musical arrangements are available in digital formats (such as mp3's) or as CD's, providing a ready-made accompaniment for performances and rehearsals. Employment of a musical director or a person with a strong musical background is recommended for the rehearsal process, since the music is substanitive and replete with choral harmony parts in the ensemble numbers (children who can sing can usually manage the harmonies with adequate coaching). www.sirmuse.com /Alice.html   (786 words)

Disney Archives | Alice in Wonderland Character History Once she's tumbled in it's too late to turn back, and Alice finds Wonderland not only as nonsensical and fantastical as she could have hoped, but frustrating and perplexing as well. Carroll originally told the story to Alice herself while on an outing on July 4, 1882, a day that is considered as important to the history of English literature as that date is to American history. Kathryn Beaumont, the young actress who voiced and modeled for Alice (as well as Wendy in "Peter Pan"), spent the majority of two years at the Disney Studios, even going to school on the lot, so she could be on-call for the duration of production. disney.go.com /vault/archives/characters/alicewonderland/alicewonderland.html   (191 words)

Alice in Wonderland (1966): Anne-Marie Mallik, Peter Sellers, Michael Redgrave - PopMatters Film Review Similarly, in one of the film's most hilarious moments, Frog Footman (played deliciously by John Bird) assists Alice's efforts to get through one of her many doors, by offering to do "nothing at all." The Footman expounds at length on what that means, while Alice yawns with ceaseless boredom. In his assured hands, Alice in Wonderland is not merely a fantastical tale of caterpillars, mice, and bloodthirsty queens looking to take off some heads. Alice observes to the Footman in Carroll's version, "The way creatures argue" -- that is, converse, debate, quarrel, and communicate -- "is enough to drive one crazy." Miller's excellent rendering of Alice's long, strange trip into the world of adults is made even stranger by Ravi Shankar's trance-inducing sitar soundtrack. www.popmatters.com /film/reviews/a/alice-in-wonderland-1966.shtml   (1238 words)

Amazon.com: Alice in Wonderland (Disney Gold Classic Collection): DVD: Kathryn Beaumont,Ed Wynn,Richard Haydn,Sterling ...   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Alice (voiced by Kathryn Beaumont) has all the anticipated experiences: shrinking and growing, meeting the White Rabbit, having tea with the Mad Hatter, etc. Characterization is very strong, and the Disney team worked hard to bring screen personality to Carroll's eccentric creations. Because of critics' reaction to Alice in Wonderland in 1951, it is written, Walt Disney actually apologized for the movie and soon after his television show became a hit a few years later, he showed it in its entirety on TV, thus relegating it to his "minor film" category. There are some references to hallucinogenics, since Alice experiances outburst changes in form and size, and the appearing cup changes from various rocks and stones towards the end of the movie, suggest just that. www.amazon.com /Alice-Wonderland-Disney-Classic-Collection/dp/B00004R99L   (1424 words)

Alice in Wonderland--Literature/World History lesson plan (grades 9-12)--DiscoverySchool.com   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Readers and critics of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland point out that the girl’s experiences in the world at the bottom of the rabbit hole are similar to the dreams (sometimes, nightmares) that most human beings have. Although reality in the Alice story sometimes seems like the reality we experience when we’re fully conscious, more often the reality in the story is more similar to experiences we have in dreams. Context: Alice’s adventures are sometimes seen as a parody of the formal style and rigid manners of Victorian England. school.discovery.com /lessonplans/programs/alice   (1666 words)

Alice in Wonderland (1999) (TV)   (Site not responding. Last check: ) Alice's adventures in Wonderland have always been easy to visualize, thanks to Tenniel's classic illustrations; but they have been difficult to realize. A miniseries doing "Wonderland" one night and "Looking Glass" the next might've been nice, but the best elements were taken from "LG" and the results don't look patched in. Star-studded "Alice" vehicles have appeared in the past: the top-heavy 1985 Natalie Gregory "Alice", for instance, where a famous actor's face had to be seen in every role; and the notable 1972 Fiona Fullerton bomb, where many of Britain's finest actors (including Peter Sellers and Ralph Richardson) made complete fools of themselves. us.imdb.com /Title?0164993   (938 words)

CLASSIC - Alice In Wonderland - Chapter 1 - Multiple Illustrators Featuared She did not like to drop the jar for fear of killing somebody, so managed to put it into one of the cupboards as she fell past it. She was close behind it when she turned to corner, but the Rabbit was no longer to be seen: she found herself in a long, low hall, which was lit up by a row of lamps hanging from the roof. And so it was indeed: she was now only ten inches high, and her face brightened up at the thought that she was now the right size for going though the little door into that lovely garden. www.the-office.com /bedtime-story/classics-alice-1.htm   (1691 words)

NovelGuide: Alice in Wonderland: Top Ten Quotes Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.' Alice thought she had never seen such a curious croquet-ground in her life; it was all ridges and furrows; the balls were live hedgehogs, the mallets live flamingoes, and the soldiers had to double themselves up and to stand on their hands and feet, to make the arches. The players all played at once without waiting for turns, quarrelling all the while, and fighting for the hedgehogs; and in a very short time the Queen was in a furious passion, and went stamping about, and shouting `Off with his head!' or `Off with her head!' about once in a minute. www.novelguide.com /aliceinwonderland/toptenquotes.html   (523 words)
