There were several other adaption of Alice ’s Adventures in Wonderland , includinga 1923 version by Walt Disney . This silent adaptation of Lewis Carroll ’s famous children ’s book ( photo above ) is renowned for both its unnervingly still camerawork and delicately gonzo costumes , which makes the film search like archival footage from the Sioux Rapids Joint Anthropomorphic Animal Hootenanny / Bathtub Rye Convention / Rail - Yard jongleur for Woodrow Wilson Fundraiser . matter get uniquely strange during the Mock Turtle ’s “ Lobster Quadrille , ” when the crustaceous suits amount out .
The first , 1903 movie version ofAlicealso score major points for what is undoubtedly the least interested Cheshire Cat in the chronicle of film .

7.Hobitit(1993 )
Gandalf and the gang will be marching into dramatics again this yr , but Peter Jackson ’s live - action mechanism adaptation of The Hobbit was beat to the punch by almost twenty years by this Finnish television series .

First things first , Betty Bronson makes for a handsomely pansexual Peter Pan — she ’s like if Joan Jett and Errol Flynn had a sensuous teleporter fortuity . But the situation commence in question when Bronson starts literally kick the children out of bed , grin naughtily , and silently pray them to meet “ mermaids and red man . ” And maybe it ’s just me , but I ca n’t help but take lines such as “ There is a son here who is to teach us to fly ” and “ Hello , I am up ” in monotone , machine - gunman staccato . Really lead you out of the narrative .
