Look closely at the character of Alice in the film and the play versions of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Does the character in the film version look as you imagined she would when you read the play? Consider how Alice is presented in both the play and film. Write a detailed paragraph of 75 to 100 words that discusses the similarities and differences of the two interpretations.

In nearly every Live Action or animated version of “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”, her hair is Blonde or light in color, and most often her dress is blue.

Yet in the Book, by Reverend Dodgson (Lewis Carroll), she appears to have darker hair and the black and white drawings of John Tenniel do not allow us to discern her dress color.

My (personal) Film favorite is from 1972, where a young Fiona Fullerton has light, blonde-like hair and the blue cotton dress so often used.

In this version, much of the dialogue and story follow the Original,

(except) for an appearance by Tweedle’s Dum & Dee, from “Through the Looking Glass, (and what Alice found there). This adherence to the Book and a wonderful caste of British Actors makes this 1972 version my favorite.

The Computer Generated films seem far more about the CGI images than the original story, and perhaps because the original 1865 book was one of the first 5 books I ever read as a child, the fond memories of childhood outweigh any computer generated film, or others that have little to do with the film save for the obligatory mad man in a Hat (he sells for a living).

Explanation:

The plots of these two versions are not the same. For example, the exposition in the film shows Alice and her sister playing around in a park before Alice falls asleep and dreams about her adventures. In the play, the exposition shows Alice having a conversation with Lewis Carroll about the game of chess. Then she falls asleep and dreams about her adventures in Wonderland. Also, the events in the film and the play do not occur in the same order. For example, in the play the scene where Alice meets Gryphon and Mock Turtle occurs at the beginning of the story. However, in the film this scene takes place toward the end
