Is there anything wrong with Alice in Wonderland? Take a look here?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_In_Wo鈥?/a>



A Literary What?



Did you say Nonsense?



If that is Nonsense then what is the Walt Disney version?



Which probably stole the rights to that magnificent book.



What a shame!



Since when does Disney make PG-13 movies when for at 20 years they have gone without?



Seems a little odd to me.Is there anything wrong with Alice in Wonderland? Take a look here?
Alice in Wonderland is one of the most important books ever written.

The movies have always been in love with Alice. Jim Hanson came the closest to bring Alice to the screen.

The disney version is important as part of Disney history:

Pinocchio .Snow White, Fantasia, Bambi,,

The thing to remember is that a book is the author's vision,

a movie is the director's vision.Is there anything wrong with Alice in Wonderland? Take a look here?
Literary nonsense in literature is NOT something that most people think - it is in fact a 'genre' in literature.



Literary nonsense refers to a genre of literature, whether poetry or prose, that plays with conventions of language and logic through a careful balance of sense and non-sense elements. Its strict adherence to structure is balanced by semantic chaos and play with logic. Usually formal diction and tone are balanced with an inherent topsy-turvyness and absurdity. The effect of nonsense is often caused by an excess of meaning, rather than a lack of it.



In other words, literary nonsense doesn't mean 'trash' in literature. Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear are both known literary nonsense artists, among others.

'literary nonsense' doesn't mean the book is no good, it means it is a work that is full of 'nonsense' as in wordplay, nonsensical happenings, crazy people etc. Not that the book is 'nonsense' in the sense of being a bad book.



I personally thought that the Disney version was quite good, it stuck reasonably closely to the original. of course, it couldn't capture the atmosphere of the book, but I think it did pretty well really.
firstly, wikipedia is written by anyone who thinks they know enough on the topic to make sense.

secondly, speaking in a purely literal sense, alice and wonderland is a work of nonsense. the ideas and events are nonsensical and would not logically work in the real world.

and therefore yes, the walt disney version is too alot of nonsense. this however does not detract from its literary importance.
