Alice in Wonderland (1931) Complete

Please do not sell DVDs of this video. It was uploaded so everyone can enjoy it for free.
I know the hiss in this video's audio may be too uncomfortable for some. I've left the older video up so you can still see the film; that one is just not complete though.
--------------------------------------------
Information About the Film
---------------------------------------------
The first Wonderland in sound was filmed in New Jersey! Directed by Bud Pollard and starring Ruth Gilbert as Alice. In the 30's, there was an "Alicemania" because of the centenary of Lewis Carroll's birth. Even the "real" Alice herself came to New York City for the celebrations in 1932 (she was 80 at the time). It's probable that this movie was made to capitalize on the Alice craze.
The result...to be truthful it's not a "good" movie or a fantastic Alice adaptation, however, it's historically interesting and it does have its own peculiar charm. The screenplay is not based off the book itself, but of a popular stage adaptation: Mrs. Burton Harrison's 1898 script "Alice in Wonderland: a Play for Children in Three Acts." It's relatively faithful, but adds a few things; most bizarrely, a love affair between the Duchess and the White Rabbit.
---------------------------------------------
About the Video
---------------------------------------------
This video was possible because David Schaefer put his rare collection on DVD through the Lewis Carroll Society of North America. However, /even his/ version was missing shots. My good friend, Curiouser and Curiouser put it together to make the complete film, for the first time.
However, you will notice there is a noticeable hiss. We have tried to edit it out, or even just reduce it, but we weren't happy with the quality loss. We have no experience in audio editing. Unfortunately, because of the age of film, prints are not identical and we can't just replace the audio with another. If anyone who knows how to use audio editing software could help, we'd appreciate it.

Adding to what someone else said, the actress playing Alice looks shockingly modern. When I first saw her I thought she looked like a model straight out of tumblr or instagram. It's not really until she opens her mouth and talks that I realize she is, in fact, an actress from the 1930's (she has that style of speech that actresses seemed to have back then). It's just so wild I had to comment.

[@wolfil8019]

I read something that called this the very best film version of Alice in Wonderland. I can't quite agree, but it is a marvelous and hilarious version. It is dreamlike. It is very humorous. And it even, at points, have bits of the nightmarish elements of the story. So many thanks to Phantomwise for uploading it. Postscript: for me the film versions of Alice in Wonderland that I do consider better than this are Jan Svankmajer's Alice (1988) and the controversial 1966 BBC version of Alice in Wonderland with a soundtrack by Ravi Shankar (the controversy was that some people interpreted it as a pro-drug version of the story). I do also very much like the 1915 version, but this one definitely tops that in humor, costumes and dreamlike feeling. So again, thank you for uploading this.

[@Phantomwise2]

Sorry for waiting so long to respond, but maybe they meant 1933 was the best version? Not that I agree with that either, but would make more sense.

Not to mention a modern attitude. I can't imagine many girls in the early 30's were so arrogant and snarky.

[@irplane]

@@Fireglo Attitudes like that weren't uncommon after the 1920s, and apparently even earlier as the book(wherein lies most the dialogue and emotional responses/cues from/for the characters) was written in the 1800s. People could be quirky, sarcastic or have senses of humor etc back in the 1930s... I suspect there have been such people since the dawn of history, even caveman had things that made each other laugh and individual quirks

The New York Times reviewer wrote " poor little Alice had to go through the ordeal of coming to shadow life in an old studio in Fort Lee NJ, instead of enjoying the manifold advantages of her rich cousins who hop from the printed page to the screen amid the comfort of a well equipped Hollywood studio".

[@adamshirk3495]

Hey Phantomwise i have another question concerning this film and/or the play its based on. Feel free to answer in your own good time. 1, what is up with Alice's head at 52:24? And 2, why inspired them to do a version with no hall of doors or anything having to do with Alice's size changing. This version and the one from 1915 are the only ones where they don't really add the size change part. For this film in particular was it for time or do you think they thought it would add to the nonsensical nature of Wonderland if Alice just "literally" dropped in? Again feel free to reply i would love hearing from you.

[@Phantomwise2]

Hello Adam! I love discussing these films so please feel free to ask any questions you may have. :) 1.) As far as I know, there are no existing notes from the production crew, so I cannot say for sure. However, I've always assumed that it's Alice's dream turning into a nightmare, and she's imagining that her head has been cut off. This doesn't happen in the book or Harrison script so it is original to the film itself. Though it was interesting to note that Disney was planning a similar sequence in which Alice would have woken up right before her head was to chopped off in a guillotine in their 1939 screenplay version. 2.) I can't say for certain, but I think they just didn't have the resources to do so. Those kinds of effects required more time, effort, money, and most importantly, more expertise with filming, which they lacked as an amateur studio. Effects like the rabbit-hole and size changes usually require more elaborate sets, and I have the suspicion that the sets in the film are not uniquely made for Alice and are probably reusable ones they had (I need to do a little more research on that). The only effects they do have are achieved by manipulating the film. They do a half-hearted attempt at size changes at 5:45, by just distorting the film. Plus, the audience would have been used to seeing Alice without a rabbit-hole. Now we're used to school or community theater productions, that usually put in time and effort to cleverly portray sequences like the rabbit-hole. However, at that time very amateur plays put on by neighborhood kids or families were more common. These had no budget, usually had little preparation time, and were simply for the fun. That was why Mrs. Burton Harrison's Alice script, which skipped the rabbit-hole, became so popular. Usually films try to do things that _cannot_ be done onstage, but 1931's crew thought that an all-sound Alice was novelty enough. In a way, it was done for fun, like those simpler plays. And it is funny that you mentioned 1915! Actually, the original 2-hour version did have size changes, at least in the Rabbit's House! Though that production was also amateur, they had a larger budget and were much more ambitious. From the rabbit-hole footage we were lucky to find, we can assume that these effects were lacking, even for the time. Later releases cut these effects out completely so it wouldn't look as outdated in the 1920's. Hopefully, other releases will eventually surface with these missing effects.

[@adamshirk3495]

+Phantomwise Oh ok i see. Thank you so much for replying. I like discussing these type of things with you. I've been obsessed with Alice since i was 6. So my heart....*checks to see if the Queen is listening* flies having to find another fun person to discuss with. I really appreciate your answering me. And if i made add, on the size part, I've seen other plays like Tim Kelly who have Alice drop in Wonderland like this film, i personally like that just for the purpose of adding to the nonsense. Oh and if you ever on KZbin look up Alice in Wonderland Devised part 1 and 2 Its dark but very enjoyable. They change Off With Their Heads to Out With Their Hearts. Its fun. Thank you again for taking time to answer you are an interesting person. God bless

[@Phantomwise2]

They decided to punish him for murdering Time at the Queen's concert by making him dance and try to keep Time. This is a bit bizarrely added in Mrs. Burton Harrison's script "Alice in Wonderland: a Play for Children in Three Acts," which the film is based on. The script says Hatter "finally falls exhausted, and is picked up, carried to seat, and extinguisher clapped on his head" (the extinguisher being the 'suppressing' bag). So, I think he is supposed to have fainted, but the film's not very clear on it. As for Alice, I have no idea why she's crying and why they keep interjecting it into the scene. The script makes no mention of her crying.
