From the British Film Institute Archive comes this first-ever film adaptation of Lewis Carroll's book.

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... With a running time of just 12 minutes (8 of which survive), Alice in Wonderland was the longest film produced in England at that time. Film archivists have been able to restore the film's original colours for the first time in over 100 years.

It's really neat seeing the early camera tricks. I wonder if that sort of thing blew minds over a hundred years ago...

It broke box office records it its time. This just shows the importance of archiving older films.
