Alice in Wonderland, the 1903 Version

EXQUISITE. Do not adjust your volume; it has no sound. Perhaps one of our talented vid makers can score it?

::geeks out in utter bliss:: This is fabulous ♥ I love the messy quality of the old old film, and the simple 'special effects' (copperbadge once mentioned how great special effects were when they were supposed to be 'symbolic' to encourage the imagination instead of the CGI saturation we get now). For some reason, I guess the animal costmes, it also reminds me of the 1935 Midsummer night's dream (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Qs7HVhNdME) with Jimmy Cagney.

Sadly, I have zero musical skills, otherwise scoring this would be a fun project :)

I was happily geeking out myself! ^_^ And agreed on symbolism versus CGI saturation (although I think Peter Jackson manages to do both somehow? I really loved Heavenly Creatures).

I did get the Midsummer Night's Dream vibe. ^_^ Also, the first Silent version of The Wizard of Oz (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GoRKha4fAjM&feature=related)

Truly mesmerizing and sufficiently creepy.

The white rabbit costume especially gave me the jitters.
