| Alice in Wonderland (1949) | comment |
A 1949 British-French film based on Lewis Carroll's book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, directed by Dallas Bower and featuring stop motion puppets created by Lou Bunin. This adaptation features a unique Framing Device in which Lewis Carroll (Stephen Murray) tells the story to Alice Liddell (Carol Marsh) and her sisters on a boat ride. A la The Wizard of Oz, several people introduced during the live-action sequences have counterparts in Wonderland, voiced by the same actors.This film would undoubtedly be more widely known today if it did not have the misfortune of going into production around the same time Disney was making their own Alice in Wonderland. Though the two works have nothing in common apart from being based on the same source material, Disney sensed competition and set out to crush their opponent's chances of success. A lengthy court battle ensued, during which Disney erroneously claimed to own the rights to the Alice's Adventures in Wonderland story itself. Though the case was ultimately thrown out of court, the damage was done and Bower's film was not widely distributed in the United States. Furthermore, it was banned in the UK for portraying the Queen of Hearts as a caricature of Queen Victoria. To this day it remains largely forgotten, with Disney's influence even having had a negative impact on its preservation. Because of their pre-existing arrangement with Technicolor, this film had to be shot in inferior Ansco Color, which deteriorated badly over time. | |

The Trickster | |
| Alice in Wonderland (1949) / int_185ea595 | comment |
The Trickster: The Knave of Hearts, who is depicted as sneaky and sly. Rather than being a possibly innocent trial defendant (as in the original book), it's shown that he is in fact guilty of stealing the Queen's tarts. The White Rabbit by extension, tricking the populace to go after Alice in order to cover for the Knave. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Alice in Wonderland (1949) / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: The White Rabbit is depicted here as a self-serving sycophant who frames Alice for the theft of the Queen's tarts while knowing it was the Knave of Hearts who really stole them (having decided to keep the Knave's secret due to wanting to partake of the tarts himself). As a result Alice, rather than the Knave, ends up being the trial's defendant in this version. The White Rabbit also informs the Queen that the gardeners were painting the roses red (rather than her figuring it out for herself as in the book), leading to what appears to be their real execution. The Gryphon in this version, enthusiastically tells Alice she will be beheaded in the morning rather than telling her the the executions are all secretly pardoned like in the original book. | |

Rascally Rabbit | |
| Alice in Wonderland (1949) / int_2d29bc56 | comment |
Rascally Rabbit: The White Rabbit is very cunning and wily in this version. Here he's arguably more a villain than the Queen of Hearts, as he is manipulating her to achieve his ends. He also has the Knave of Hearts in the palm of his hand, because he caught him in the act of stealing the Queen's tarts, and it's clear he would not hesitate to use that information against him. | |

Would Hurt a Child | |
| Alice in Wonderland (1949) / int_479d4e5a | comment |
Would Hurt a Child: The Queen of Hearts wants Alice (played by a 20-year-old here but still intended to be a little girl) beheaded for supposedly stealing her tarts. The White Rabbit knows who the true culprit is but intentionally laid the blame on Alice, fully hoping for her to have a prompt execution. He even looks horrified when the King says there needs to be a trial first. | |

Artistic License – History | |
| Alice in Wonderland (1949) / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: In the And You Were There prologue, Lewis Carroll takes the Liddell sisters on the rowboat trip where he tells them the story of Wonderland during a tea party for the visiting Queen Victoria, which the girls weren't allowed to attend. These weren't the circumstances of the real-life rowboat trip: it was just a normal outing on a regular summer day, and Carroll would never have taken the girls rowing without their parent's permission. It also took place in 1862, the year after Prince Albert died, yet here he's shown accompanying the Queen on her visit. And of course Alice Liddell is portrayed with long blonde hair like John Tenniel's illustrations of Alice, not with her actual chin-length dark hair. | |

Meaningful Look: The White Rabbit smirks at the Knave of Hearts as he watches him in the procession of the King and Queen's card entourage, causing the latter to bow his head in shame and speed up. It's as if the Rabbit is saying "You and I both know what you did" (the Knave having stolen the Queen's tarts). | |

Arc Words: "And so on down the line" comes up several times in songs throughout the film, referring to the varying (and in some cases fleeting) importance of individuals in a society divided by rank and class. It's meant to emphasize how Lewis Carroll created Wonderland as a satire of Victorian England. | |

| Alice in Wonderland (1949) / int_973d220f | comment |
Never My Fault: While the Knave of Hearts admits that "the Knave of Hearts did steal the tarts" during the trial, he then claims that Alice is the Knave of Hearts. Also during the song the fish footmen sing, they explain how if one does something wrong, they all blame each other. | |

By extension, the White Rabbit, instead of being a Nervous Wreck like most adaptations, his bossiness extends to everyone that isn't his superior, he tricks the populace into going after Alice when he not only knows the Knave is the culprit with the tarts, but he takes bribes as well to cover it up, and he sells out the cards. | |

Adaptational Jerkass | |
| Alice in Wonderland (1949) / int_a91078ea | comment |
Adaptational Jerkass: The Knave of Hearts, who in the original book was portrayed as a pitiful victim of the ridiculous accusations of the King and Queen. Alice even came to his defence. Here he is undeniably guilty of the theft of the tarts, and conspires with the White Rabbit to frame Alice for the crime. During the trial he still refuses to own up to his wrongdoing, claiming that although the charge incriminates "the Knave of Hearts", he is Alice while she is the Knave. This is made all the more surprising by the fact that he's supposed to be the Wonderland counterpart of Lewis Carroll, who in the Framing Device was nothing but kind to Alice. By extension, the White Rabbit, instead of being a Nervous Wreck like most adaptations, his bossiness extends to everyone that isn't his superior, he tricks the populace into going after Alice when he not only knows the Knave is the culprit with the tarts, but he takes bribes as well to cover it up, and he sells out the cards. The Gryphon in this adaptation, instead of being one of the slightly friendlier and rational members of Wonderland that informs Alice that the beheading is just an empty gesture that is pardoned, is a laughing jailer that informs Alice that she will be executed in the morning. | |

No Historical Figures Were Harmed: In this version, the Queen of Hearts was very deliberately designed to be a caricature of Queen Victoria. It was seen as such an unflattering depiction of her that the film was banned in the UK for 36 years after its release. | |

Truer to the Text: This is one of the most faithful film adaptations of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, which makes it all the more unfortunate that it's one of the least known. The narrative sticks relatively closely to the book and does not incorporate elements of Through the Looking-Glass. Some characters rarely seen in adaptations, such as the giant puppy, also appear. | |

But the White Rabbit takes a tart for himself and responds "Tell her what? You didn't steal them. Haven't you heard? They were stolen by a stranger", referring to Alice. Later when the Queen discovers the tarts are missing, the White Rabbit is quick to accuse Alice of the crime. | |
