My First Time Watching - Alice in Wonderland (1951)

What's up guys? Welcome back to JV's Galactic Adventure. My name is JV and today we're checking out Alice in Wonderland. The first one, the animated one that was made in 1951. So we're going back to the 50s guys. So I was looking into the live action Alice in Wonderland. I'm like, holy crap. The Maleficent was so good that I was like looking back at all the suggested videos, movies to watch. And I got a couple of comments from you guys on Patreon telling me to check out Alice in Wonderland live action. And I was looking into that with the guy, you know, shoot, forget his name right now. The guy from Pirates of the Caribbean, the Tim Burton one and the guy that played Captain Jack Sparrow. I can't remember his name. Johnny Depp. Boom. Got it. Johnny Depp. And I was like, you know what? I have to watch the original cartoon before I watched the live action one because it wouldn't make sense to watch the live action one first and then the original. So let's check out Alice in Wonderland from 1951, the live action version. Let's watch it together. Let's go. Did you guys know that the Alice in Wonderland film from 2010 with Johnny Depp made over a billion dollars in the box office? Wow. It's pretty crazy. Okay, we're going to check that one. That one's going to come later on. But let's see Alice in Wonderland and Technicolor colored by Technicolor. So Technicolor is a company. I know the general story of Alice in Wonderland, I think. No, actually, she gets pulled into. I don't know the story, actually. Holy crap. I don't know. I know there's like a cat and there's a queen off with her head. Yeah, I don't know the story. This is great. All right. There's like certain things, you know, from pop culture. But I just I haven't sat down and got a chance to watch this, not as a kid or an adult. So let's check it out. I don't know who these two guys are. They look like twins. And there's old timey music, which I love right now. So good. What's a musical? It's available on Disney Plus and YouTube, most likely. I'll leave a link for it down below. I wonder if this world is like real or not. I keep wishing it could be there because my world would be a wonderland. When does the transition happen? Wait, what? Just like this? What the heck? It happened already? I thought she would have gone through a portal or waterfall or something. What the heck is going on right now? That's crazy. Important date. No time to say hello. Goodbye. Awfully important, like a party or something. No time to say goodbye. Hello. Who rhymes? Don't be doing this. After all, we haven't been invited. You might get stuck in there. Oh my gosh. Goodbye. What the? After this, I shall think nothing of falling down the stairs. Okay. This is the transition. So that rabbit came into our world. This is the portal into wonderland. Down is up and up is down. She's not terrified. What if I should fall right through the center? She's pretty brave. She's not scared of sliders. Oh, Mr. Rabbit, wait. What the heck? Hopefully she can get back out of here. Oh my God, it keeps getting smaller and smaller. She's not claustrophobic. Where is this rabbit going? It's like Owl House. I'm all right, but you did give me quite a turd. You see, I was following. You're rather good, what? Doorknob turn? Please, sir. Well, what can I do for you? Well, I'm looking for a white rabbit. So, um. He just ran through the door. There he is. I simply must get through. Sorry, you're much too big. Simply impassable. You mean impossible? No, impassable. Nothing's impossible. Impassable. Oh. Read the direction and directly you'll be directed in the right direction. Drink me. That's it? What happens when you drink it? It's almost certain to disagree with one sooner or later. I beg your pardon. I was just giving myself some good advice, but tastes like cherry tart. Oh, stop drinking it. Roast turkey. Goodness. Oh, all those different things. What did I do? Roast turkey. I forgot to tell you. I'm locked. Oh no. All that for nothing. You've got the key, so now don't tell me you left it up there. Oh, crap. There's no way to climb that. That's all sleek. Is it a glass table? Whatever will I do? Try the box, naturally. You can just wish up whatever you want. But goodness knows what this will do. What did you say? This is wacky. Well, I don't think it's so funny. Oh my God. Just flooding the place. Hey, okay. Stop crying. Oh my God. Tears are kind of gross. It's not just like water. It's like salty and so much of it. You forgot the key again. Come on, Alice. Drowning in your own tears. It's like a trippy movie, man. I don't smoke, but if you did and watch this movie. And he's smoking a pipe too. Look at the boat that he's on. He's on an upside down crow. This is so crazy. What is happening? This is her tears, mind you. I can't believe this. What is happening right now? It's just... They're all still there. Just keep going. I love how they're still there when the water goes back down. I'm beginning to recognize voice actors from this time. This guy, he does a lot at this time. I don't know his name, but I've heard him a lot. They're on dry ground, finally. Oh, the twins that we saw at the beginning. Are they stuck together? No, they're not stuck together. Oh, and Tweedledum. I've heard of these guys. What the... Oh my God. Bouncing all over each other. Manners. The white rabbit. The Matrix. Oh, is this where they got it from? Follow the white rabbit. Go down the rabbit hole. Man, there's Matrix references. Matrix was after obviously, but that's cool. What did happen to the oysters? Oh, you wouldn't be interested. The walrus. Oh my gosh, so much sand. The cabbages and the peas. Oysters. We're going to eat them? Oh no. The little babies. Hey, leave them alone. Where are the cabbages and the peas? Peas with the cabbage. I had to put the captions on. I couldn't understand what he was saying. Oh my God. Okay. They're not babies, but they're still really small. I don't want them to get eaten. I don't think I've ever had a raw oyster. You know when people do that? They have the raw oyster and they like eat it. I've never had that before. I just realized. He built that so quickly. Oh no. This is morbid. We eat them? What's for dinner? You guys are for dinner. Oh God. Is this going to be, he's not going to eat them. There's no way. He ate them all? What? Oh my God. We're the shells. He ate them all, bro. That's crazy. Oh my God. That's so dark. They were like little babies in their beds. I can't believe that happened. 1951. I thought, no way, Disney. Yeah. Get out of here. This is reminding me of like adventure time. You know what I mean? Like it's very, like she's going on this adventure, all these crazy characters, all these like wacky things happening. Very much reminds me of adventure time. There's like the doorknob is alive and stuff. And man, it's so cool seeing the inspiration from modern television shows and even movies like the matrix, right? Get your own gloves. She doesn't even know where they are, man. Go get your own gloves. Alice, you're going to grow and destroy the house. Oh my God, Alice. No, not again. You're going to destroy this guy's house. Why does he have these growing cookies? They're just a snack. You had the cookies in the house, man. What did you expect? I have a very simple solution. Drink the formula. Go on, go on, pull it out. How are you going to do that? That'd be ridiculous. What we need is a lizard with a ladder. That's not going to do anything. You need to give her the potion again. At your service, governor. Fill me lad. Have you ever been down a chimney? At your service. My governor. I've been down- Governor? Is he the governor? You just pop down the chimney and haul that monster out of there. Right-o, governor. How are you going to do that? His tail's going to come off. Bill lad, you're passing up a golden opportunity. Oh, there he goes. Well, there goes Bill. To the stars. Put him in orbit. Did you kill him? Burn the house down. Yeah, burn the house down. That's his house. She can't get out of there. Oh my God. She can't get out, guys. Alice, tell them. His grandfather clock. All his furniture. This guy's a menace. Oh my God. His gate. Lights on anything in cartoons matches. That's what I said. His house and his furniture. You, you, you, you, you. That's a big carrot. Oh, it worked. It worked. What the- We'll smoke the monster out. Okay, it's gone. Oh, she's tiny now. Young lady, do you have a match? No, I'm sorry, but- The monster's gone, dude. Look. Is everyone an idiot? Surely we'll have to carry on. Oh, no. This guy's creating fire. I'll never catch him while I'm this small. We'll smoke the monster out. Whoa. Bread and butterflies. Oh, yes, of course. Bread and butterflies? Butterfly. Yeah, why are they called butterflies? Never thought of that. I mean, rocking horseflies. Naturally. I beg your pardon, but did you- Oh, cool. Flowers can't talk. But of course we can talk. You said you wanted the flower to talk to you for hours when you're lonely. And we sing, too. You do? Oh, yes. Would you like to hear Telly to the Tulips? No, let's sing about us. We know one about the shy little violet. The bass. Pollination. Pollinate all the flowers. Dandelions. My daughters love dandelions. Dogs and caterpillars. Oh, give me a break. Cool. What about a dragonfly? How about that? It's June right now. Wow. Happy June 1st, everybody. This is like the best time in Canada and I guess the United States, too. June. All across the world, there's summertime. The beginning of summer. That was too high for her. Whoa, cool. The lights. Oh. That was lovely. That was awesome, actually. That was really good. Oh, I don't come from any garden. Do you suppose she's a wildflower? I'm not a wildflower. Just what specie or shall we say? I'm a human. Well, I suppose you call me a genus humanus. Alice. Ever see an Alice with a blossom like that? A no fragrance. Just look at those stems. She's not a flower. Quiet, bud. I'm not a flower. Just as I suspected. She's nothing but a common Obelix vulgaris. Oh, no. What's that? A weed. No, no, no. Well, you wouldn't expect her to admit it, can you? If you don't, let us stay here and go to seed. Oh, gosh. She's not a weed. They're going to get violent with her now. Look, she can walk around, guys. All right. If I were my right size, I could be every one of you if I wanted to. She basically said she could kill them if she was regular size. Seems to me they could learn a few things about manners. Yeah, that is true. Do people get I don't want to say it. I guess I can say I could always edit it out. Did people get high in the 50s? Is this movie, man? It's like, I don't know. It's like if people were getting high and they would watch this. It's so trippy. And this guy's smoking hookah. Hookah was around in the 50s. Hookah was probably around for hundreds of years. Thousands of maybe. Never done hookah either. Who are you? I hardly know, sir. I came so many times since this morning. You see, I do not see. Well, I can't put it anymore. Really, for it isn't clear to me. You she's still herself. She's just smaller. That's all. Oh, cool. She did it back. Why everything is so confusing? It is not. Well, it is to me. Why? Well, I can't remember things as I used to. And recite her memories going away. Um, how does the little busy bee improve it? Stop. That is not spoken correctly. Correctly. His own hands. Oh, my gosh. It's like he's not connected to the rest of his body. How neatly spreads his clothes and welcomes little fishes in with a gently smiling job. Wow. I know I have improved it. If you ask me, who are you? Would you stop blowing smoke in the child's face? You told through all this craziness. She's still pretty calm and collect. Wait, come back. I have something important to say. What is that? I wonder what he wants now. You can't get back. Oh, no. It's like that game for Xbox where you're in the backyard and you're shrunken. What did you want? Keep your temper. Is that all? No, exactly. What does he say like that? Well, it's precisely this. I should like to be a little larger, sir. Why? Well, after all, three inches is such a wretched height. I make exactly three inches. Whoa. Keep your cool. You just said keep your cool. Butterfly. I have a few more helpful hints. One side will make you grow taller. One side of what? And the other side will make you grow shorter. The other side of what? Mushroom, of course. Take it easy, man. The mushroom. One side will make me grow. But which is which? After all that's happened, I wonder if I don't care. I'm tired of being only three inches high. That's so tall. That's too tall. Is there any balance? There's no compromise to put me back to normal height. Serpent. I'm not a serpent. Indeed? Then just what are you? I'm just a little girl. Little? Little. And the other side will. The very idea. Spend all my time laying eggs for serpents like her. She's not a serpent, but here she goes. Oh, nice catch, Mama. She take maybe take a tiny, tiny bite. There you go. Oh, perfect. That's perfect. Keep those. Yeah, good job. All right. Smart, Alice. That was smart. Go back. This is freaking adventure time, man. Remember, we just saw this episode with the elephant lady from the guys with the signs. Well, they were signs. One moment, please. Damn. This thing's kind of scary. No, you're a cat. A Cheshire cat. Cheshire cat. His ears. What the heck? Very well. Oh, my God. This thing is trippy. What is this? Well, that depends on where you want to get to. Quantum mania. Which way you go can turn invisible to this thing is. I don't know what it is. Oh, by the way, if you'd really like to know, he went that way. She's still trying to find this rabbit, a white rabbit. What rabbit? But didn't you just say? I mean, dear, can you stay? What? However, I will. Man, it's so weird. Mad Hatter. This is Johnny Depp's character. Mad Hatter. He's mad, too. But I don't want to go among mad people. Oh, you can't help that. Everyone's mad in here. Oh, my God. This is scary. You may have noticed that I'm not all there myself. Oh, geez. I must try not to upset them. Yep. So try to go home, maybe. Now what? Some more mad people at the Mad Hatter. So much coffee or tea. I think it's tea. Taking each other's hats. But I thought there was plenty of room. Nah, but it's very rude to sit down without being invited. I'll say it's rude. Very, very, very rude indeed. Back to sleep. Thank you, Cap. I'm so excited. We never get compliments. You must have a cup of tea. Is the live action version this trippy? Because I don't know if I can handle that. Oh, thank you. Birthday? It's a non-birthday party. Unbirthday. It's very simple. Now, 30 days have set. No, unbirthday. If you have a birthday, then you... She doesn't know what a non-birthday is. You're not explaining it. Explain what a non-birthday is. You get younger every year or what? Benjamin Button? My dear, and make your wish come true. Tea tree. Oh, that is lovely. And now, my dear, if you would like to think... Oh, he's still eating him. He's going in for more. Clean cup, clean cup, move down, move down. Clean cup, clean cup. Clean cup? Well, I haven't had any yet. Ah, you mean you can't very well take less? Yes, you can always take... So much sugar? Oh. Something seems to be troubling you. These guys are too much, man. I can't take this. Jam on his nose? Put some jam on his nose. Oh, goodness. Those are the things that upset me. See all the trouble you've started? She hasn't had one sip of tea yet. Just half a cup if you don't mind. Oh my gosh. She said she's fond of tea. She wants to try the tea. Let her try it. Riddles? Why is a raven like a writing desk? Riddles? Why is a raven like a writing desk? Oh my gosh. Why is a raven like a writing desk? Why's a raven? What? Never! She's stark raven-mad! But it's your silly Riddles! He's scared of her now. Hello, goodbye! I'm late, I'm late! I'm too busy! I'm so late! I'm very, very late! Why, this clock is exactly two days slow! Two days slow? Two days slow. Culturally. Ha ha ha. My goodness. We'll have to look into this. Oh my gosh, guys, don't give him your clock. He's going to destroy it. Oh my goodness. Oh my gosh. Butter! Butter? I can't take it. What are you doing? What are you talking about? Tea? Oh, I never- These are whack jobs. By the end, I could see that happening. Jam? I forgot all about- Mustard? Don't let's be silly. Lemon, that's different. That should do it. Well, god, is it going to work? Mad one. There's only one way to stop a mad one. He's going to do it. Oh my gosh. Boom. Oh my God. Two days slow. That's what I did. My watch? It was. And it was an unwasted. These guys destroyed his watch. They invite him in. Well, he, I don't know if he got invited in, but he came in, they destroy his watch and then throw him out. I can't even follow this. This is pure madness. Alice in Wonderland. Yes. Go. I would go home a long time ago. This place is crazy. Whoa. No more nonsense. Look at these things. I should go back this way. Trail. Trail of breadcrumbs. Oh my gosh. When I get home, I should write a book about this place. Yeah. If I, I don't know where you would start at home. She's basically just been lost this whole time. She's trying to look for the rabbit, but she's been lost. Uh, nevermind. Scavengers. Are they following her? digging holes and then covering it up and then digging new holes and covering it up. He's eating the birds that were inside of it would be so nice if something would make sense for a change. What? What the heck? Step on the moon. That's the mode. Rats. Oh man. Now what? Oh shoot. What the heck is brushing the things away with his head. He's a dog with a broom brush head. Oh, Pluto. No, I should never get out. Well, I don't know. get out well just stay where you are until someone finds you somewhere over the rainbow where's that from somewhere over the rainbow song but that's just the trouble with me i give myself very good advice she doesn't take it yeah her own advice that explains the trouble that i'm all there'd be a price to pay someday but i'm very seldom following it's not over alice you can still get out of here oh he's an umbrella but things i should what's happening they're disappearing maybe they're this is all her imagination it's over i still got like 20 minutes left oh the cat did you expect the white rabbit a chance oh no follow the white rabbit i want to go but i can't find my way naturally that's because you have no way queen's way queen oh but you must she'll be mad about you simply mad oh god there's a queen how can i find her well some go this way i prefer the short cut short now there's a queen a queen she must contend with the queen to get released oh gosh one of these mazes what are they called hedge maze or something they're so thin they're painting the roses red painting the roses red well the fact is this we planted the white roses by mistake oh geez she'd raise

one more there was one more white one you see that why is everything cards oh man i guess cards were big in the 50s nothing else to do no games no board games was there board games in the 50s like

i simply must get out but you are outside what what why that's me she was sleeping it's a dream oh my god it's a dream are you telling me that okay this has got to be real right some of it was real will you kindly pet the cheshire cat's gonna show itself at the end oh uh how does the mess with the audience will be like was it real i don't know alice i come along it's time for tea time for tea ah okay so it was just a dream the whole thing oh man no wonder it was so like nonsensical no cat ah the end all right it was just a dream oh my gosh you know because i'm so used to that now like um in television shows cartoons movies where there's a dream sequence right like something is happening in the show that you know just can't happen you know or in a movie where it's like that's that's not that can't be real it's got to be a dream but it happens so often that it kind of never oh it did occur to me a little bit at the beginning that she might have been dreaming but the transition from her being in the real real world to like um being with her teacher i forget or her mother maybe i'm not sure but she was like she just ran off and was by the the water and then she saw the rabbit running so there was no like usually she would kind of sit down for a second and then maybe like and then get up and go maybe that did happen but in that sitting down section she would have fallen asleep and we wouldn't have known but it was just a dream the whole thing was a dream so this must have been one of the first times they did this right maybe because tv was has been around since like the 1900s um so um yeah so she was just dreaming the whole time and it was just like one wacky thing after another but they did give clues at the beginning when she's like if i had my own world i would make the flowers talk so they can talk to me for hours um i would if i would make this the her cat she's like i would make you be able to speak um so she kind of hinted at stuff and then in her dream all that stuff came true right like the the cheshire cat was the scariest thing like he was so bizarre and it had like it seemingly had like godlike powers in there and um it can like manipulate itself and teleport and turn invisible and take its head off and all these crazy things but everyone else was mad the mad hatter um the his assistant guy the rabbit i'm not sure and then the white rabbit she was following the white rabbit and then that was from well matrix one big fan of that movie took that white rabbit scene from this there's probably a book before this where she's following the white rabbit and in the matrix neo sees the girl with the tattoo of the white rabbit and um he starts following the white rabbit i think the or the oracle told him that i'm not sure but um yeah and then morpheus was like do you want to go down the rabbit hole or you want to see how far the rabbit hole goes so that was another alice in wonderland reference to where she was falling down she was crawling in the rabbit hole and then she fell and then she went down into the portal but that was all a dream like i thought that was the the portal dimension into that world she would have to come back out which would have been i think more interesting if this was real somehow like the portal to her to this land was through the the tunnel and then she fell through and that rabbit just kind of got lost and he crossed over into our world i've seen movies and tv shows with something like that like it wasn't a dream like that stuff was real but it was just some portal into that other magical land and i'm watching adventure time with you guys now too and i see a lot of influences from alice in wonderland to adventure time with all the creatures being alive the dogs with the with the with the broom head the doorknob being alive um like owl house uh there's a lot of like wacky creatures in alice in wonderland that i could see from adventure time you know like it's kind of like a dream like maybe finn is like dreaming this whole time and this none of this is like actually happening but it also explains why there wasn't really a set story there wasn't like a prince there wasn't any um obstacle she had to overcome she was just trying to find the white rabbit and then she was just trying to get home and that's it and everything else was just like random events like those twins um tweedle d and tweedle dumb like okay they were there like nothing really made any sense but when you see it as a dream you kind of it it makes more sense when you when you think of it as a dream because dreams don't really make sense they're kind of like all these crazy things happen and there's no real um there's no real reason or anything it's just things happen so yeah that was a trip and a half um i've never well i before adventure time i would i i was gonna say i've never seen anything like that but adventure time is pretty much like that it's like but even in adventure time there's always a story right there's this like we have to go get this book or we have to get this apple you know like there's a goal um and this one is just a dream and there was no secret ending with a cheshire cat in the corner you know like or a smiley face like that they would do that now you know in modern television they would do something like something like that now but in the 50s it was just basically a dream so i finally saw alice in wonderland the original um i don't know man that was crazy um i gotta think about if i want to do the live action because i don't know what they're gonna do with that because yeah i'm kind of curious though i'm kind of curious it made a billion dollars so i want to see what all the fuss is about but that'll come later on in the meantime we're
