Alice In Wonderland (1903)

[kaarlaa87]

She reminds me of Samara from the Ring.

But this is amazing. I am watching One of the very first movies In the History of the earth.

It's kinda creepy how there all dead now. But wow, this is great.

How did you even find it ?!

[kagomeblom]

wow how did you even get this it's awesome! never saw a old movie like this before and never thought it would be even fun to look at x'D

[SirCrooner]

Actually, we had the capability of recording sound and synching it with the film - after all, we had phonograph records and wax cylinders, so it would make sense that they could add sound to these films. The problem was that it was too complicated, a process which required the actors to speak into a horn, which, if they're trying to act at the same time would be a huge problem, it was too expensive, and a luxury that no one needed.

[ultradumbass]

so which footage is the real one, i see one version all dark and white and another is light brown.

[kevenzz]

Wow the oldest movie ever ? :) pretty much

[ThomasMFilms]

@kevenzz There's older films. Like some from the 1890s.

[starsailor0587]

THANK YOU for the upload! seriously!

[Dollyfaceangel]

It's amazing how much of this film has survived.

[MrBladdersplatter]

looks like a fucking horror movie... :p

[Zolrak666]

I'm getting this in Blu-Ray.

[96minos]

if the mad hatter starts to break dance im gunna piss myself

[PIPERLORI1]

Awesome!

[ultravioletgaia]

[TessticalsLOVE]

[HannsBannans]

That white rabbit looks pervy...

[beautifreakangie]

highly ammusing =P



[blueturtleclub]

I think about one hundred children knew what they were going to be for their next halloween.

[deathroman13]

But I'm still waiting for the blu-ray version to come out XD

[deathroman13]

That rabbit XD.

Can't stop laughing.

But I have to say, he looks creepy.

I'm only sixteen years old but I find it very fascinating to watch movies over 100 years old. It has history.

[IngameDiverin]

I think it's amazing to see one of the first Movies ever made... It doesn't matter that theres no sound or any special effects.

Thank you so much for uploading it, because seeing this I'm able to worship the times we live in with High Definition and all stuff, although this kind of silent movies has its own charme ... :)

(If I made any mistakes in my english writing, I'm sorry 'bout that; I'm not very used on writing in english...)

Greetings from Germany

[DeeRZetOLN]

[LuckyStrike502]

@DeeRZetOLN LOL - Are you serious? I'm not even going to answer that question.

[DeeRZetOLN]

[NykSyx6]

[Otakusca]

@LuckyStrike502 omg, really thought it was a question?

[5tonyvvvv]

@LuckyStrike502 This was way before the Wizard of Oz!

[AlDroog]

@DeeRZetOLN

because its not.. thats the answer...



[dEdGrimley]

@DeeRZetOLN

Well played.

[mjbrooke67]

@DeeRZetOLN If you want to see it in genuine 1080p HD, it's included as an extra on the BFI's region-free Blu-ray of Jan Svankmajer's 'Alice'.

[dirtynuke]

Creepiest fucking rabbit ever.

[rockerduff1231]

@dirtynuke I agree

[Mitsuki424]

it's awesome that it could still be played. I've noticed the defects in the film, but it's still so fantastic looking at it.

[khen368]

eeew!

[stillmoretrippin]

Brilliant and beautiful...

[kornelius15]

1:05 - Johnnie Walker bottle appears

[DamnRat]

Damn, that Cheshire cat is spooky.

[crazynintendoguy]

Believe it or not, I enjoyed this more than Johnny Depp's and Burton's version.

[tripleraven]

oh and Pogo - raining in wonderland

[tripleraven]

Play these tracks with this movie.

Pogo - Oyster Dreamland

Pogo - Alice

Pogo - One mushroom to many

[juanxu777]

@tripleraven thanks! it is much better with the songs :)

[zheffner666]

if people cant understand that in 1903 we didnt have means of recording sound then i have no faith in humanity.

[5n00k]

Alice looks like Samara!

[MrShaun42088]

isn't that awesome! 100 years later and the vision of that story still captures the imagination. wonderfull xoxoxo i admire all the arts when it comes to alice.

[craigaa52]

I liked Tm Burton's version.

[iloveoreos15]

I like this better than the Tim Burton version.

[chloedayglo]

Erik Satie's "Chapitres toures en tous sens" is a wonderful soundtrack for this. Try it!!!

[TheRevsDeathBat]

This old movies creep me out :S

The 1915 one is fucking weirddd

[masternoob1911]

holy damn..... thats a big ass rabbit

[RobloxTitanicMovie]

WOW.

[thebradybunchlover]

Why is it Alice looks like a man....?

[shikamaruxb3]

wow, 1903, that's surely rare

[Chronos127]

@vanlock I hear that man,,,,,,,19O3 Wow!

[vanlok]

funny to think that every one who act in this movie, filmed this movie, directed this movie or even saw this movie when it came out, doesn't live anymore

[masternoob1911]

awesome movie

[Zolrak666]

Where's the sound?

[Ericthehammer76]

@Zolrak666 Two words: "Silent Film"

[Ericthehammer76]

@Ericthehammer76 but literally in this case. i found another one with the bgm

[LuckyStrike502]

@Zolrak666 There is no sound.

[JessikaBrocker]

@Zolrak666 Ummm... silent movie... means silent movie lol This was made when they were incapable of adding sound.

[icjburke]

@Zolrak666 it a SLIENT movie

[craigaa52]

@Zolrak666 Sound didn't come in until the late 1920's. This one seems to be made in 1903, which would be the earliest days of movies.

[bazooo123]

@Zolrak666 haha no sound back in those days

[GenocideKommando1]

@Zolrak666 Its a SILENT movie

[SelaikaCatoblepas]

@Zolrak666 1903, duh?

[juanxu777]

there was no sound on cinema until 1927!

[KawaiiMooMoo]

@Zolrak666 This was filmed in 1903. I didn't even know they had video, let alone video with sound

[fortifythamind]

@KawaiiMooMoo theres been video since the mid to late 1800's i think. but i dont think any have survived

[vampireanimewoo]

@Zolrak666 its a silent film from 1903

[stijnvth]

@Zolrak666 back in those days you'd be lucky is there was live piano music to guide you.

Very funny how people don't seem to have a clue about movie history ;)

I'm loving the special effect in this 1903 production! awesome :)

[kevin989able]

@Zolrak666 Theres no sound in movies that are 118 years old

[kbri9]

this is creepy as hell

[Iucifer]

dam very old

[ESP471]

ok is this a real movie or is it a made up one that u made

[jbassman666]

this shits whacked

[DrLeonardBonesMcCoy]

This is some scary shit

[vincentvalentinedark]

All I can say is...Holy Fuck. This is one rare piece of history. We should treasure this forever

[Adlerfuckingqiqi]

ahaha xD

[1958debs]

My she looks a little old for the character of Alice. She looks like an adult from the close-up.

[blizzardballz]

Opium dreams FTW

[MarchHare92]

1903 and they made a nice silent movie like this :D I like it

[1995sam]

But, Tim burtons LOVELY! hes made some of the worlds most amazing films

The nightmare before christmas,

you may not like him,

but i love him and the NEW alice in wonderland as well as the old,

you have to respect it as art.

You stubborn pricks.

[PosFlow]

@1995sam Now, I love Tim Burton. Let's get that out of the way. I haven't seen his Alice, but I don't think I have to automatically respect it either because it's from him or because it's "art." If it's shitty art, it's shitty art. In general. I'll get around to seeing Alice at some point, though. I still haven't seen Sweeney Todd yet, so I'm a bit behind.

[Mysterious0Bob]

@1995sam Glad you like it, but that doesn't end the fact that Burton hasn't had an original idea in over a decade.

[1995sam]

@Mysterious0Bob I know its unorignal but i like the colours and how mad hes made it, its his enturpration hes not stealing it just making it how he visions it and thats why i love his alice

[Keitafox]

@1995sam Tim didn't direct The Nightmare Before Christmas, that goes to Henry Selick. Burton was too busy with his Batman films at the time.

[b2ball6playa2]

My great grandfather was 9 years old when this film was made

[Canashea]

If it wasn't for this film then Tim Burton's wouldn't have existed. Infact its thanks to the old films there are movies today.

[GhostOfJunglePast]

This is the scariest shit I have ever seen.

[wolfcereal]

Tim Burton shat all over it. Everywhere.

[tempo529]

It would originally of had a score, or failing that, someone would have played piano when it was being shown to add dramatic effect. I would reccomend listening to 'White Rabbit' by Jefferson Airplane when watching this.

[IMZEECATMAN]

omg, this is not only silent, but its dead silent!! thats amazing, im watching a film that was made before music was even in films!

[Ziplock74]

sound wasn't invented yet in 1903, duhhhh.

[SnapshotOfASoul]

@Ziplock74 Sound wasn't invented? You mean everyone was deaf? Sound in FILM was not invented yet.

[luigiblox]

wow this is a short movie

[StormBlitzM37AL]

around 00:38 nazi salute?

[pinipig00]

Made in 1903 and it still as charming and entertaining.

[Sagatatia]

Still a thousand times better than what Tim Burton shat out.

[Sectumsempra9833175]

@Sagatatia Fuck you! Tim Burton's kicked ass! This one's good as well but in its own right.

[emphaticleech]

@Sectumsempra9833175 Tim Burton's excremented version of this did NOT kick ass. It was boring and focused on all the wrong points of the story. It was just an excuse to have Johnny Depp (Burton's bitch boy) play the Mad Hatter (which, he did a fine job.. Depp is a great actor, but seriously...he needs to get Burton's dick out of his ass) extensively. Burton has never, and will never care about plot apparently.

[Sectumsempra9833175]

@emphaticleech So what if Burton made Alice into an adult? As I said before both version are good in their own rights. I just happen to be a die hard Tim Burton fan and love his version as well.

[emphaticleech]

@Sectumsempra9833175 Who said anything about Alice being an adult as a problem? Burton's wasn't the only adaptation where Alice was older. There wasn't ENOUGH Alice in Burton's version, also... as I said before, it focused on all the wrong points of the story.

I'm not a big fan of Burton, he's made a couple gems (Big Fish, Ed Wood) but I find him overrated and boring.

[Canashea]

@emphaticleech yeah Tim Burton's sadly didnt impress me either, shame as I usually like his films. I preffered Disney's version!

[ESENDETproductions]

this kinda reminds me of a horror movie

[TheMonsterHunterTV]

Donnie Darko?

[emphaticleech]

@TheMonsterHunterTV What about Donnie Darko? Movie was terrible.

[TheMonsterHunterTV]

@emphaticleech Its the guy in a bunny costume from donnie darko

[abba54]

wonderful movie!!! it,s a succes historic

congratulations!!!

[MsBlueword]

It's really amazing ...

[davidwigs]

A lot better than the recent remake.

[owtatowttowt]

amazing filim. av had quite enough o'' the adverts at the start, though.

[kalawo11]

that rabbit is life-sized one. hahahahaha. :)

[GhettoBlaster100]

luckystrike you are my idol. you share my love of old movies

[MrAika01]

i dunno tho o-o.., this video scare me ><

[Xmjthrillme2020X]

@MrAika01 I was just about to say the same thing! >.<

[ElCamino0to60]

seeing this can only make me think "what the hell were they thinking back then???"

[coopercastille]

wow

what a old film

it's 107 years old and it's all torn up

it's REALLY good for it's time

and it's obvious that it was Lost

hey if they find London After Midnight (if they ever do)

will you upload it?

[clemj1]

the shrinking effect was really cool for a movie this old

[2012alexg]

The BFI actually added sound and it actually sounded like it went with the movie (even though it didn't). They also have restored its original color tints.

[yenintendo]

Kinda creepy, though I think anything this old is, like watching a ghost, but this one more so than any other even the Frankenstein one

[Affael]

oh this is so psycho!

[xSephironx]

This is terrifying. Interesting, but terrifying.

[joshie702]

LuckyStrike502 When it was first premiered it was about 18 or 19 minutes

[srbinsiti]

OH MY GOD!Are you 110?

[theSEVENFOLDisLIFE]

Is this technically a horror film? Could it be known as a classical psychological-thriller? I'm getting opinions from people who upload nostalgic films

[collegegal79]

this is so fascinating alittle creepy but for the time period this was great quality i still love watching old memorbilla thnx for posting this!

[NariShishitsu]

I love old films. <3

[stlgtrace]

Wonderful!!!!!!!

[GoodOldN1ghty]

this was the time where movies had NO sound at all and a VERY VERY bad quality,but those movies are still aweomse

[CrazyBanana510]

This movie is seriously great. Most people I know don't like older films, but they're cinematic GOLD. Great movie.

[owtatowttowt]

they couldn't then, bloody hell! really, some people!!!! they have no idea. they couldn't do it properly then, honest. they couldn't! so, grow up a wee bittie, please, min. grow up, eh? they couldn't do it. it's as simple as that, sorry to nag...

[McDeathification]

It's actually rumored that the new Tim Burton film, used the same location as this version. But it's no good because it's destroyed by overuse of computer generated animation. Every CGI movie somehow manages to put me to sleep...

[00Helix00]

This is fascinating, movie filming at this time was still very new technology (earliest film was from 1888).

[witchaster]

This is much better tahn tim burtons version :D

[jeezmeldc]

I'm so dumb. This was in 1903; obviously a silent film!

I must thank my friend for telling me about this gem.

[Ziplock74]

watch this while listening to Stalaggh, it will fuck you up

[LegoKaijuCreator]

btw why id it on 8:20 long? is that how long movies were back then?

[musicnetland]

Hallo! I'm profi pianist, I play music for silent movie.I'm Taper!!! I can make music for this movie.

partytime@o2.pl

[musicnetland]

Hallo! My name is Wojciech Kroczak I'm profi pianist, I play music for silent movie.I'm Taper!!! I can make music for this movie.

partytime@o2.pl

[zeshiba]

better than the disney alice in wonderland and the newest alice in wonderland

[Topcaller]

How one can not love this is beyond me. Great stuff.

[Shinthrae]

I like Alice in Wonderland... bu this is scary... ;]

[Ziplock74]

the way the film has damage at certain intervals brings me to believe that the film was rolled up in a reel of some kind and something (like water) was run down the side of the reel, damaging the edges of it throughout the movie

[robinson3218]

no shit shirlock its a silent film

[nama0527]

drink me

[cherryfairy]

a silent movie with sound.. hmmm right:P

[WithLoveFromKay]

this is scary!! LOL

[TideatMileHigh]

LSD in its worse stage...

[ysbaddaden2003]

Yeah baby...eat me...

[curtismichael14]

talk about horrible acting lol!, this is very interesting!

[f4st1ll0]

i'm more scared of watching this than watching any horror movie of these days ^^

[CrazyBanana510]

@mwkjob FAIL

[LockNLoadTV]

@mwkjob stop spammin

[catherinek94]

@kadaj40 r u kidding me

[Seanh3651]

acid trip

[hellkat008]

didnt they premiere it with an orchestra because it was a silent film?

[fierced1989]

sound please!

[LuckyStrike502]

@fierced1989 This film originally has no sound.

[Nubriusdaguildbraker]

@LuckyStrike502 but the only way to see it was a theatre, which is where they played a piano to go with it, 1/1 ways to view it, always with music, thus, should always have sound.

[churchofaiden]

@fierced1989 lol what a dumbass!!!

[linkfan160]

@fierced1989 There IS no sound.

[writerintrouble]

@fierced1989 there was no film with sound in 1903

[bigmoney2114]

@fierced1989 it's 1903 they had no sound

[theultimatekoopa2]

@fierced1989 Oh YEAH because there was totally sound in 1903 (in films). Never heard of "silent movies", have you?

[luigiblox]

@fierced1989 u fucking moron in the 1903 they had no sound

[MrJorge006]

@fierced1989 if un want sound then watch the new one

[linkfan160]

Oh my goodness! Is this the first film ever made?! It's so...scratched up. Wow...

[GB21599]

Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the 1910 version?

[betolicious23]

fucking shit i watched this shit on shrooms yesterday omg that shit is so fucking creepy

[weikko79]

@betolicious23 Well, don't consume "shrooms", whatever they are.

[terHC]

i like it...from silent film to 3D...

[AmericanEvita]

I loved this very early silent film of Alice made around 106 years ago (1903 to 2003 is 100 yrs!). This was charming. However I'd love to get my hands on the lost Phantom of the Opera made before the 1925 version with Lon Cheney. I know it's out there somewhere. There must be hundreds of lost silent classics made between the 1890's and 1900's

[bellainmyheart]

How did they make it look like she shrinked? AMaxing effects for a film 107 years old!

[DeadJ0ker27]

@bellainmyheart yeah i was wondering the same thing

[Perlinator67]

Well, the technology for special effects didn't exist yet, so they asked her to shrink for real, and she did. Some actors are devoted enough to their craft that they're willing and able to do the impossible.

[bellainmyheart]

Oh please stop, you're killing me =)
