1903;

The first ever Alice In Wonderland film.

After watching this, because it's such an old film reel(100+ years), you can tell how broken it is, majorly and bits skip back and forward with the movements, one minute the actor is on one side, then the next, the other, then they would be back again where they started.
I think this gives the video as a whole a really creepy, disturbing feel even though it's just an innocent film which has been wrecked during the years.

I find it fascinating that such an old filmreel has survived all these years and really enjoyed it. It gives a perspective of how they would have viewed Lewis Carroll's classic tale more than ten years after it was published.
