alice in wonderland

The first-ever film version of Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland.  The 1903 film was severely damaged and restored by the British Film Institute (BFI) Archives.

"Made just 37 years after Lewis Carroll wrote his novel and eight years after the birth of cinema, the adaptation was directed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow, and was based on Sir John Tenniel's original illustrations. In an act that was to echo more than 100 years later, Hepworth cast his wife as the Red Queen, and he himself appears as the Frog Footman. Even the Cheshire cat is played by a family pet."
