ADAPTATIONS OF THE ALICE BOOKS
My list has 30 plus, but here's a few highlights:
1972: Alice's adventures in Wonderland
many people's favourite adaptation of the first Alice book.
1998: Alice Through the Looking Glass
Channel 4's experimental yet faithful adaptation of the second Alice book.
1985: Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass
A 4 hour 2 part musical extravaganza, adapting all of both books. Occasionally goes off book but an ideal quarantine watch as fun!
OTHER FILM/TV
The Down the Rabbit Hole IMDB list by me features an entire list of films deemed to be Carroll-esque by film festivals, scholars, museums and reviewers.
