Alice in Wonderland is a 1915 American silent dark fantasy adventure film adaptation of Lewis Carroll's classic 1865 novel, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, directed and written by W. W. Young and starring Viola Savoy as Alice.
This film version is notable for depicting much of the 'Father William' poem and it includes footage resembling Tenniel's illustration of Father William doing his back-somersault at the front door.
Volia Savoy was used again in the sequel released the same year, Through the looking Glass, based on Caroll's sequel novel of the same name.
Plot
The plot is mostly straightforward from Caroll's original work, but with lots of dialogue and the entire Mad-Tea party cut. Before Alice enters Wonderland, the film adds a minor subplot about Alice craving tarts. It also cuts a part after Alice wakes up and leaves her sister on the bank to also dream about her time in Wonderland.
