![]() ![]() It is likely that most people probably remember the other characters more than Alice when they finished watching this movie. Compared to the other characters, Alice is depicted as a plain woman both visually and in terms of her personality. In this movie, Alice takes a much smaller role in comparison to Carroll’s story or Disney’s initial animation. That prize record indicates that this movie caught the public’s attention at least in part because of its amazing visual effects. At the 83rd Academy Awards, this movie won for Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design, and was also nominated for Best Visual Effects. This movie is conceived of as a sequel to the original story. Among those versions, the most outstanding is the one Tim Burton directed and was released in 2010. Consequently, Alice in Wonderland has been remade as a movie a number of times. ![]() The media that shows the fantasy world most realistically is movies. Consequently, the Alice in this animation is the most popular and familiar character of all other versions of Alice. ![]() This typifies Disney Productions and is the reason that children of the world love Disney animations. ![]() Nevertheless, the Disney version of Alice was intended for large family audiences, not literary critics. However, from literary critics and fans of Lewis Carroll, this animation received the harsh criticism of “Americanizing” a great work of English literature. The animation with the beautiful soundtrack is certainly easy to understand and enjoyable especially for children. Walt Disney Productions created a fantasy environment that most of us want to visit once in their lifetime. In the animation with waggish minor characters and colorful backgrounds, we do not see the gloomy effect of Tenniel’s original illustrations. I believe that this Alice was an ideal type of the time. This lovely girl was portrayed as a typical daughter of a middle-class family from the 1950s. Disney’s Alice also has a positive view of the world, becomes friends with everyone easily, and seems to make wise decisions under most circumstances. She moves in a rather exaggerated fashion and has an expressive face. Compared to Tenniel’s original version, this Alice appears happier and certainly more pleasant. In this animation Alice a blond girl with a black head band in her hair her dress is sky blue with a white apron and she has black Mary Jane shoes on her feet. When many of us think of Alice, the image that we initially recall may be the image of Disney’s animation made in 1951. None of the later versions of Alice have earned that sort of honor. Over 150 years later, a large number of Tenniel’s illustrations have been remade based on his original drawings, thereby proving the power of those original images. Nevertheless, Alice in Wonderland was an overwhelming hit with the public. There is no doubt that the grotesque and scary illustrations of Alice were initially controversial. In its own story manner, Alice in Wonderland was sensational enough compared to other stories of that period. Alice in Wonderland is a story that does not focus on the importance of morality or ethics. Tenniel visualized this unusual bit of literature with his copious imagination. His engraved rough lines and monochromatic colors effectively express the gloomy feeling of this story. I believe that Tenniel wanted to focus on the fears associated with the mysterious fantasy world more than a thrilling adventure. It is a story about a girl who is searching to find her way home. Alice in Wonderland is not just an exciting story. There must be a reason why Tenniel drew Alice in that way. Even in dangerous situations, stoic Alice moves stiffly. One of the features of Tenniel’s illustrations is that Alice maintains an expressionless face in most of the scenes. Although he was famous for a large number of political cartoons, most of his fame came from his illustrations of Alice. He was an illustrator, graphic humorist, and political cartoonist in the late 1800s in England. John Tenniel (1820-1914) drew the original illustrations for Alice in Wonderland. In this essay, I will compare and analyze how different illustrators and different eras have depicted Alice in Wonderland. There are interesting differences between the images of Alice in Wonderland according to the times, cultures, and genre. Alice in Wonderland has been remade by various artists in diverse media such as animations, movies and picture books. For image makers, this story is perfect for showing their imaginary world in a visual way. It’s also referred as the beginning of fantasy literature. After being released, this book became extremely popular even now, this story is well-loved. ![]()
