Alice in Wonderland (1915)

Another version of Lewis Carroll's famous story, we've reviewed the 1903 version before.

This one stars Viola Savoy as Alice and is a very charming (if sometimes a little creepy) little film that captures the fantasy of the story well. Some of the character costumes and effects are very well done indeed especially the Mock Turtle.

However the film is a bit disjointed though mostly because of lost footage. Being 1915 the film makers were still a bit hesitant to do that many close-ups.
