Daydreams – recap
How frequently, lately, they’re running Alice in Wonderland on tv. Unfortunately, nowadays, it’s the Tim Burton version. Horrible. I’m going to have to go back to the DVD to watch the cartoon again. Speaking of which, the MoMA is going to screen the Lou Binin version in late July. I’ll write about it on Saturday, and I’ll re-review it when it does. I’m definitely going. Here’s an oldie but goodie.
- The Alice In Wonderland dvd contains a storyboard sequence of Alice daydreaming in the park. This sequence didn’t make it to the film (for good reason), but they’ve re-assembled it for the dvd. I’ve taken some frame grabs to show off the drawings. They’re on screen for such a short time.
My favorite’s the last.

Sad to hear that they’re only showing the Tim Burton movie on TV. I haven’t seen it, but the majority of reviews I’ve read were really negative. The 1951 film on the other hand is pretty underrated.
Was this an alternate version of the “In A World of My Own” sequence, or a different sequence entirely? I must say I like the version they went with in the end better overall. As amusing as the idea of dancing trees is, I think it may be a little too much.

Yes. I also think it is underrated.
The animated feature is an impressive to watch. It may not outshine others that Disney made.

(sheesh….)
It may not outshine others Disney made but it is pretty good.
When I was a kid, Disney features were not entirely my thing. Being a young hep cat, and all, some of the features, like “Cinderellaâ€, didn’t do much for me. They were fun…they still might be fun and educational for the animation in them…but, it wasn’t my thing.
With “Alice in Wonderland†that…that had moxie to an 8 year old.
(kidding. I was never that cool)
