I'll give this film credit for being a passionate and motivated early attempt to adapt Alice in Wonderland to film, especially at a time when the medium was so new. There was clearly a lot of motivation put into this film. However, it still leaves a lot to be desired. Alice is supposed to be ten years old but this actress appears to be in her thirties. The special effects are rudimentary and unconvincing even by the standards of the time period. The story is haphazard and the intertitles are either redundant (why tell me that there is a dog in the garden when I can clearly see it?) or an excuse to not attempt certain technically challenging scenes. Good early attempt but fails to meet the mark.
