Today was the first film screening for Unit X - 'Alice in Wonderland' (Alice) by Jan Svankmajer - 1988. This version of 'Alice' is one of the most interesting that I have seen, as it begins with the white rabbit being in a glass box (subject to taxidermy) that suddenly comes to life and breaks free from its casing. Alice then follows the rabbit into a drawer in a desk and the story continues. Overall I think that the stop motion animation works really well with the foley that has been applied to the film and it definitely kept me wondering about what was going to happen next.

| This is the first version of 'Alice' I have seen, where the white rabbit is actually shown cutting off the heads of the March Hare, the Mad Hatter and some of 'Queen of Hearts' other subjects, one of which is shown above. |

| This scene is very clever as Alice is pushed into a solution that turns her into a giant doll version of herself and the only way she can escape is through forcing herself out of the dolls body. |
