    For the record, I really enjoyed Elemental despite how formulaic much of it felt.

    It's funny that Walt's feeling on the film (it having nothing emotional) is one of the reasons Alice films are so hard to get right. There is no character growth for Alice in the books, she's simply a girl who falls asleep, dreams of weird people in weird places and then wakes up.
    It's why some films add a framing story. 1985 has Alice wanting to sit with the grown ups for tea and 1999 has Alice having stage fright.
    Some films, like 1933 and 1988, go all in on the weird (if you thought 1933 was nightmare fuel, just wait til you see 1988).
    Others go all in on the dreamy aspect. 1966 does this perfectly and is maybe the most unique adaption since everyone is dressed in Victorian attire without any animal costumes, while still being very faithful. There's also 1981s Alice at the palace which I think is trying to be dreamy but squarely landed on trippy.
    Then you have the Tim Burton approach of just ignoring the book entirely.
    The thing is all of them (apart from Tim Burtons) are good adaptions. I think Disneys Alice feels a bit 'meh' because it's never fully commits to being it's own thing but at the same time it's not a super faithful adaptation. The 1972 version is one of the most faithful adaptation out there and I adore that version so much that my Alice cosplay is based off of it. You can kinda forgive problems, if it's a faithful adaptation but Disney didn't do a faithful adaptation. The changed it up enough to be clearly different from the book but didn't address the problem that then lead to Walt feeling like the movie lacked heart. Don't get me wrong I adore Disneys Alice as a Disney film but as a Alice adaptation it's very average, I've seen better and I've seen way way worse.
    (As a fellow lover of the Alice books, I have a sneaky suspicion that Walts love of the books is what caused it's downfall. I think he loved them too much to stray to far from the books and he wasn't interested in making the type of film that does work as a faithful adaptation)

    Walt's comments highlighted in green near the end of the video, really sum up the problems with the books themselves. Carroll/Dodgson was a seriously troubled person without any real sense of whimsy. His writing was focused on the intellectual and satirical.

    it can be done well , keep out the nightmare fuel, or other missteps

    New subscriber. I started with your Tim Burton video and I've been glued to your channel since going from one video to the next. I really like the effort you put into each video. The time you must put in and having the knowledge about your subject is commendable. Your narration also. I'm seeing more and more AI channels 🤮 and I'm not a fan of it. Glad you popped up in my feed
