Alice in Wonderland (1903) - highlights

[MrXtremie]

It might sound strange, and I really love watching this clip. But when you look at something like this and compare it with today, you can only be proud on what world you live in. There's so many hate against today and people somehow never see what a beautiful and well developed world we live in today. It also has its good things but people always forget about that.

[WHOTHAFUCK]

People its not from 1903. look at the way the people on the picture move. too many FPS. also, the simulated "Damaging" is obviously the work of some programm like Photoshop, Premiere or AfterEffects. Just believe me. You just have to stop the clip at some moments and look at the way the programm-tools have cut out certain pixels that match eatch other (thats how the "magic wand" of photoshop works too, for example).

amazing



[DancingIsLife198]

This film scares me...

[UltimateTibu]

@DancingIsLife198 -_-

[Oleilord]

im sorry but you said highlights in the title , can you explain more about that please?

[BFIfilms]

@Oleilord We uploaded two videos of Alice in Wonderland - the highlights (seen here) and the complete surviving film (9 min 33 sec). The latter is also available on the BFI YouTube channel, and should appear at the top of the suggestions column to the right of this video.

i lold at the chesire cat

[blahoon]

Cheshire cat was awesome XD This is better then the remakes these days because you can feel they worked hard on this and put tons of effort into it.

In future, with the advance of precise 3D estimation, texture detection, motion estimation, I think will be possible the clean up these large deffects. Today the softwares are still too limited to correct large deffects without a close similar image in anterior or posterior frames, and this film have large damages that goes longer and leave too few information to use as base to todays digital restoration.

Well, the future will show I'm right.

107 years old... this is an amazing film, and you can really feel the efforts behind it. A great piece of cinematic histoty!

[greencookie16]

[GreenlandCat]

Lovely, yet I believe that is the most manly version of Alice ever

[alecshorty23]

Ok………………….

[alecshorty23]

Ok.……………………

[TheSunnyx]

Utterly amazing, a fantastic piece of film. Can't believe it is 107 years old. Thanks to BFI for restoring this.

To anyone who liked this, I'd really recommend watching the full 10 min version :)

[jenloves1]

Wow! That is amazing...107 years on and were watching it in 3D, much prefer the original :)

[saranji]

spooooky

[jmgs67]

A real masterpiece!!! This is so candid, and beautiful...sublime.

[biobiowar]

2:30 Always the diamonds that are slower then the rest : /

[dolphinofdespair]

The totally unimpressed cat makes me giggle as well :-)

[soxcalxsurfer]

i loved it!

[iamagloworm]

utterly sublime

[watermover8]

Two thumbs up!

[ShadowKnights07]

well, you have to remember, this film is 107 years old. Back in the early 1900s, film-making was a new form of entertainment and it isn't like the cinematic masterpieces.

[BatALash]

LOL at the cards chasing Alice.

[sembulan]

LOL..weird looking alice

[HectorDST]

love the piano tunes

[PrometheusRising]

Wow, that was pretty shit. People must have sucked in 1903.

[ianucci]

Wow, refreshing to see someone so ugly playing Alice!

[BakBro1945]

This is like a little parade except no screaming kids!

[ChisayDinu]

this is the cutest!♥

[wastedpapiers1]

Blimey! This is the restored version? ! It must have been confetti! Amazing!

[Redscar613]

[fourclaws]

BFI you bring joy into my life

[lauriebooth]

Great fun to watch, must have been fun to make as well, the kids really enjoying themselves as the cards.

[impbr]

100 years and a million miles away from tim burtons latest offering.

[jazmella]

Absolutely amazing to watch! Thank you for uploading this!

It's hard to wrap my head around the fact that this film piece is over 100 years old! Marvelous!

[menonthemovemovie]

100 years old. Amazing. These effects where surely big hits when this film was made. It is exciting to see these old films and the birth of the movie industry. I doubt if we can even imagine what movies will be like 100 years from now.

[travellerschick]

Yes, the cat in the film is now dead... so is everyone else in the film. It was made in 1903.

[CaptBart]

That was fun to see.

[churchy99]

screw burton and his cgi - this is film at it's most pure and surreal - (well except maybe for the Cabinet of Dr Caligari)

[leezaal]

107 years old & still captivating

[zoldier07]

yea its really sad that the cat in this film is now dead =(

[Xylokaine]

@zoldier07 Christ, I hope it is by now.

[bessonovasilver]

all people is dead, Its the live

[JoeSonic5678]

trippy

[pewmanfustudios]

The Cheshire Cat is not amused!

[IconOfSin88]

Yea, he did have a quite phlegmatic look on his face. :D

[daydreamer1991white]

This is absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for uploading this wonderful piece of history.

[beccahday]

extraordinary, thank you.

[jordler]

kinda sad that even the kids in this movie are dead now .

[Chopin742]

Their grandchildren are probably even dead now.

[scorpietta]

@Chopin742 I am respondingf to an old post, sorry. But though the people here are all dead they may still have grandkids and prehaps even kids still alive. My grandmother is 94, my father's oldest sister is 90 and her husband is 92. They are still sharp as a tack, living independently (not the grandma, though) and he drives. With the advances in treatments these days people are living longer and longer.

[supermarioex]

its amazing how much effort they put into the film. They went all out with the costumes and exaggerated hand gestures. Really gives the film a unique character.

[84anubis]

OMG nice

[modelearth]

well done incredible job!!

[Dmviewing]

An incredible restoration job on this film. I am incredibly impressed with how good this looks.

Congratulations to all involved.
