ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses chronological approach, genre-by-genre, to non-textual adaptations of Alice. It begins with the earliest films from the silent era, which tend to be concerned to showcase the special effects appropriate to Carroll's fantasies. The chapter examines Disney's earliest Alices tracing how his interest in the books emerges in 1923 and continues up to the 1951 full-length animation. It provides an overview of fulsome treatment to Disney's variety of adaptations over mid-century period to adapt Alice on film and television, from the 1933 Paramount film to Jonathan Miller's adaptation for the BBC in 1966. The chapter explains Alice on stage in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including musicals, ballet, and opera. It explains Alice in contemporary film and on television. The chapter focuses on Alice in popular music, and 'Other Alices', including Japanese appropriations in fashion, manga, and wider culture. The chapter therefore covers a range of genres within 'high' and 'low' culture for both adults and children.
