1 Alice in Wonderland My favorite legend story by Cherish Armendariz

2 My favorite book and movie has always been Alice and Wonderland. From the old black and white books to the Disney movie and the rides at Disneyland. This is a story about Alice, who falls asleep and has a peculiar dream about a white rabbit. She feels she must follow him and as he slips down a hole, she follows only to fall down the rabbit hole and encounters an array of things that make absolutely no sense.

3 This is the first depiction of Alice as she debates drinking the potion that will make her smaller. When she does, she can no longer reach the key to unlock the door. Alice s Adventures in Wonderland 1862

4 This is the chessboard that was used to play against the queen in the first book. If you remember, they play croquet in the Disney movie.

5 Alice s Adventures Underground 1886 Lewis Carroll told the story of Alice in Wonderland to the actual Alice and she wanted him to write the book for her. This is the actual manuscript.

6 These cards are the queen s guardsmen. They re painting the roses red because they planted white roses and the queen will be angry. This is from the children s nursery rhyme book.

7 These pictures are from the original Disney movie from This movie inspired 2 of my favorite rides at Disneyland. This picture of the Cheshire Cat, my favorite character. The second picture is the caterpillar smoking a hookah and making his points with smoke.

8 In 2010, Johnny Depp was tapped to play the Mad Hatter and he looks a bit scary possibly from a child s point of view. In this sense, this movie seemed to change gears and invoke an older audience. When I said that I loved the Cheshire Cat this wasn t what I meant. This is a freaky looking cat, and as I said before, this movie really wasn t geared for children like the 1951 movie was. This was mostly done in CGI, which is something that the movie makers didn t have before.

9 This is Alice, Through the Looking Glass (2016). This first picture shows actress Anne Hathaway and the animal behind her was done in CGI to look real. It s almost scary looking. If I was still 5 years old, I probably wouldn t want to finish watching it. In the 1951 movie, I absolutely loved the tea party scene. In the second picture here, this tea party looks depressing. Most of the original story was tweaked and in some cases lost due to the storyline introducing newer characters and the queen had a bigger presence.

10 This story has come from a book to several movies to rides at Disney parks. The movie went from an animated classic to really odd adaptations with Helena Bonham Carter sporting an enormous head and Johnny Depp looking like a freaky Bozo the Clown. In my opinion, it lost it s innocence over time and needs to be redone to recapture what lured us as children, to the movie.

11 Alice in Wonderland is in fact a neurological disease that affects the human perception of to the senses of vision, hearing, touch, sensation, and the phenomenon of time. As a child watching this, it doesn t register as a disease, but as an adult, it resonates this disease in a quirky way.
