From the British Film Institute Archive comes this first-ever film adaptation of Lewis Carroll’s book.
Made just 37 years after Lewis Carroll wrote his novel and eight years
after the birth of cinema, the adaptation was directed by Cecil
Hepworth and Percy Stow, and was based on Sir John Tenniel’s original
illustrations… With a running time of just 12 minutes (8 of which
survive), Alice in Wonderland was the longest film produced in England
at that time. Film archivists have been able to restore the film’s
original colours for the first time in over 100 years.
