Title: Alice in Wonderland
Release Date: 17 October 1903
Director: Cecil Hepworth
Cast: May Clark, Mrs. Hepworth, Norman Whitten
IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0000420/fullcredits#cast
My Rating: (7/10) ★★★★★★★✩✩✩
This was such a treat to watch. With only 8 minutes of surviving footage left, this marks the first time Lewis Carroll's classic tale was put on film. You see magnificent costuming, special advancements in film cutting, and the occasional feat of trick photography to fully encapsulate the viewer in the strange tale of Alice, the girl who falls down the rabbit hole. Only here, the deck of cards are a group of school children and it's the cutest thing to see Alice chased by them.
