Alice in Wonderland (1915)

Famed for its bizarre and imaginative costume design this was the third film adaption of the book and is generally regarded as one of the best, if not the best versions. The 1915 film version of the Lewis Carroll book was directed by W.W. Young and stars Viola Savoy as Alice amongst the animals!

The film is considered a faithful adaption of the book of Alices Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland,) an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures. The tale is filled with allusions to Dodgsons friends. The tale plays with logic in ways that have given the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the "literary nonsense" genre, and its narrative course and structure have been enormously influential, especially in the fantasy genre.
