Alice in Wonderland + Through the Looking Glass.

Have I read both: Yes

I actually prefer Through the Looking Glass more than Alice in Wonderland, and it is because I find the writing style in Looking Glass changed slightly from Wonderland with the theme of Chess which I found interesting. While the Alice grew up Looking Glass is where we get Tweedldee & Tweedledum as well as Humpty Dumpty. So, while I loved the Mad Hatter & The March Hare - Looking Glass is a slight favorite choice for me over Wonderland.

Which film adaption? I agree the 1985 Alice is true to every detail of the novel L.C. wrote, this film the 199 Hallmark minus missing a few characters and adding ones from Through The Looking Glass - I chose this because it stays true to the overall story not exactly every detail. Also the silent Alice film that came out shortly after L.C. wrote the novel while there is no talking the story is probably more along the lines of what L.C. was thinking when writing the novel - more realistic approach though.

Which film adaption is my favorite? The 1999 Hallmark version because the casting was a bit off - but it felt right to me, and also it was true to the story which I fell in love with. Also, not gonna lie the disney version why? just because it is entertaining to watch.

Have I read both books? Yes. Multiple times.

Which one I prefer? Through the Looking Glass. It's more satirical, slightly darker, and has a solid chess structure combined with the nonsense.

Which film adaptation is the most faithful? The 1933 Paramount classic, unfairly forgotten today. If anything, it is a bit fast, but it does retain a lot of the characters and events of the books, and, most important, it retains their meaning and bit. The 1985 version is the worst I've seen, while it does feature lots of characters from the books, it totally misses the point and is little more than a parade of celebrities in their usual personas.

Which film adaptation is my favorite? The 1966 Jonathan Miller version. But beware, it's not for everyone and may bore a lot of people, as it does away with the most "outside" aspects of the story and even the makeups and costumes, yet strangely it does feel totally Carroll, at least to me. Second place is for the aforementioned 1933 version, and third is for the Disney cartoon, which does miss Carroll's points but is an unforgettable trip, so beautiful to look at.

This is not my signature. This is IMDb's automatic translation of my signature.

I like Wonderland. One of the reasons is that I am fascinated with playing cards. It is the chance deal of the cards of the Wonderland story that I prefer to the intellectual thought processes of the chess game in Looking Glass. I think that for the most part, the characters in Wonderland are more interesting. Lewis Carroll wrote Wonderland first and I think his best ideas went into that story.

But I do like the way that Disney mixed up the characters from the two books for his 1951 film. And especially the way that he amalgamated the character of the Queen of Hearts from Carroll's Queen of Hearts, Duchess and the Red Queen. I would like to see more adaptations of Carroll's stories further create and mix the characters in this way. In this way, Lewis Carroll's original stories would grow and evolve, creating further interest.
