Alicja (aka Alice), starring Sophie Barjac, was also released in 1982. It’s an unusual modern interpretation in which Alice falls in love with a jogger called Rabbit who is being plotted against by another character named Queenie… Other Wonderland characters involved in the tale include the Cheshire Cat, Caterpillar, Mad Hatter, March Hare, Griffin, Mock Turtle, and the Duchess.
Annie Enneking also took the role of Alice in a 1982 television production of Alice in Wonderland, which was adapted from a stage play performed by Children’s Theatre Company of Minneapolis. This production borrows elements from both Alice in Wonderland and Through The Looking Glass. The sets and costumes are colorful and well designed, but observers have complained that “it’s slightly spoiled by the actors bellowing their lines as if they were performing for a live audience several hundred feet away rather than the whisper-sensitive microphone“.
Alice In Wonderland (1982)
Fushigi no Kuni no Alice, an anime adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, aired on the Japanese network NHK from March 26, 1983 to October 10, 1984. The series was a Japanese-German coproduction between Nippon Animation and Apollo Films. Of the 52 episodes produced, only 26 ever aired in the United States.
Also released in 1985 was the Gavin Millar film, Dreamchild, in which a reporter attempts to uncover the ‘true story’ of the Alice tales from an 80 year-old woman who may or may not be Alice Liddell. Featuring grotesque, aged versions of the Wonderland characters (designed by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop), the film explores the relationships adults have with the fictional characters from their childhoods. It stars Ian Holm as Reverend Charles L. Dodgson (aka Lewis Carroll).
In 1988, Jan Švankmajer created Neco z Alenky, a bizzare surrealist fantasy that merged live action with stop motion animation. Kristýna Kohoutová plays the role of Alice and the English dubbed version features the voice of Camilla Power. It was released on DVD in English as “Alice” by First Run Features.
Tim Burton’sAlice in Wonderland, written by Linda Woolverton & based on the world of Lewis Carroll, is scheduled to hit theaters March 5, 2010 in both traditional 2D & Disney Digital 3D. Combining live-action, computer animation and stop motion, Burton’sfilm adaptation takes place a decade after Alice‘s initial adventures. It is rumored to begins when Alice, now 19 & having forgotten Wonderland entirely, flees unwanted romantic advances at an unpleasant party among snobbish socialites. While escaping, Alice once again gives chase to the White Rabbit and falls head over heels back into Wonderland where she is reunited with old friends, faces her old foes, and discovers her destiny; to end the Red Queen‘s evil reign.
“This new project is a dream come true for me and the fans who’ve kept the Alice flame alive,” said American McGee, senior creative director at Spicy Horse. “EA gave us creative latitude and support on the original game which resulted in something beautiful and daring. This trip through the looking glass promises to be even more exciting.”
I, for one eagerly anticipate the return of my favorite rendition of the Cheshire Cat & can’t wait… so I’ve blown the dust off of my old Alice disc and started playing again this morning It’s still wicked fun & runs better these days at higher settings than it ever did even with low settings on my PC way back when… On a side note, I wonder if the film has been scrapped completely or merely set aside, and how much of that might have to do with the upcoming Tim Burton film version of Alice In Wonderland?
