So I've decided to join the bandwagon but with a lil random twist!! Alice in Wonderland is one of my all-time favorite stories & Disney Movies. I have my hopes up for this new one, so I really hope Tim Burton nails it. I loved Helena Bonham Carter in "Fight Club" & of course Johnny Depp in everything & Crispin Glover in "Back to the Future" so I tip my tea cup to them! What I'm wearing is actually my Alice in Wonderland costume my mother made me a few years ago. hehe. Yea I'm a bit obsessed.
The reason for this post is to bring up a few "Other" Alice adaptions that you all may not know or remember!!
For example Tom Petty's music video for "Don't come around here no more" is Alice in Wonderland themed. If you get a chance Watch it.
I'd never thought I'd see Tom Petty as the Mad Hatter. I think he did a pretty badass job!!
Secondly, do any of you remember the TV show that used to be on Disney called "Adventures in Wonderland"? Remember the white rabbit was on roller skates?? Twiddle Dee & Twiddle Dum had parachute pants?? I used to be addicted to it! Here's the intro! Maybe you'll remember?
Then of course there is Jefferson Airplane's song called "White Rabbit". It's one of my favorite songs!! Here are the lyrics and the video.
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said;
"FEED YOUR HEAD!" - Jefferson Airplane
Ohhhh I can't wait to see this new movie too!! Anyone remember any of this above stuff or have I lost my head? Maybe I drank out of too many bottles that said, "Drink me" on it? Oops! hehe. Til Tomorrow...

Wellllllllllll? Your addiction for "Alice in Wonderland" is not half as bad as mine haha...it's like my favorite childhood story of all time :) I can't either...even though, I won't be seeing it on tomorrow :( Well, I will soon :)!!
Have a nice day :) Oh and I gave you a blog award :)
I'm looking forward to the movie, but I'm a bit behind in movies...still have to see Shutter Island.
i think it's so awesome your mom made you the costume..you look so cute!
Oh my goodness, can I just say I always love the titles to your posts?! Love it!
Very excited for this movie as well. My mom and I are going to see it tomorrow! :)
ehh... i'm skeptial of this sudden interest in alice in wonderland. nobody gave two craps about lewis carroll till tim burton decided to make another johnny depp vehicle for "marketable wackiness".
but then again, that's the same with lord of the rings, spiderman, batman, ironman, and virtually every piece of nerd culture. the mainstream is always appropriating.
that said, i DO remember the alice tv show! the queen of hearts was fabulous as fuck.
wow i love this! haha great ears and i can't wait to see the movie!
Adventure in Wonderland, I remember that show! I do not remember the hilarious dancing guys in parachute pants though, thanks for that laugh, '90s nostalgia!
White Rabbit, what a song, what lyrics, and what a performance!
Secretia
ah you brought back a million memories! www.dazedyoungmess.blogspot.com/
Haha! Totally forgot about the Tom Petty version! I can't wait to see this one, too! It's going to be a good weekend! Cheers!
I'm also looking forward to the movie. I haven't been up to much lately, specially when it comes to movies, and shopping and things like that that :P
Oh Melanie, you are so pretty in your Alice costume and I love how you emote for that shot. Can't wait to see the movie too.
I was trying to recall the Adventures in Wonderland but I really can't. Maybe this came later when I was no longer in my Disney phase. :-)
Have a great weekend and have fun my dear! xoxo
Love your costume!!! It's so adorable!!!
I read the book as a child and was hooked, I've loved Alice in Wonderland ever since. I've read some reviews of the film and Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp are supposedly the stars of the film. Can't wait to see it myself, but am a little apprehensive as my hopes for the film are really high, I don't want to be disappointed.
I too want to see this movie! And I do remember all the Alice things mentioned. I used to love watching that show as well. And loved the Tom Petty song too. :)
wooo! I'm seeing the movie this weekend I think, I heart Jhonny Depp!
I can't wait to see this movie!! Omg omg omg.
And thank you for the sweet comments you have left on my blog recently. I have been so incredibly sad this week but it is friends like you who are getting me through it. xoxo
You see...I too am basically the biggest "Alice in Wonderland" fan you will ever meet. I have about ten copies of the book - all different editions, mind you - and as a child I watched "Adventures in Wonderland" 24/7. No joke. Here's to hoping that Tim Burton does the book justice - though I'm pretty sure he will.
And I'm in love with your Alice costume by the way - so cute!! :)
white rabbit is the trippiest song ever haha
Well you're rather adorable. I look forward to the movie too, I love Burton and Depp. Let me know how it is!
I'd like to take this oppurtunity to discuss how amazing Johnny Depp is.. I tend to forget and then fall head over heels in love hah <3
Left you something at my blog :)

Good call on the Tom Petty and Jefferson Airplane! Great stuff.
I'll drink a cup of tea to that. I'm seeing the movie tomorrow, wild horses couldn't stop me. Have a safe weekend.
ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND...YESSSSSS!
Your Alice costume is ridiculously awesome. I can't wait to see the new movie this weekend.
I say your costume remains unconvincing until you post a full shot of it!
You silly girl I can almost see you smiling from here!
Haha! I remember all of these! My favorite part is when the Queen is painting all the roses red. Best. Song. Ever.
I can't WAIT to see this flick. It could have a bit to do with Johnny. Ah ha ha
I loooved that tv show! I'd watch it every morning before heading off to school. And your costume is adorable!
crispin is in the movie?! he is such a fantastic freak! he is such a weirdo. i saw him a couple of years ago where he was promoting a movie he starred in and financed. he is pretty much as weird as you think he is. OR WEIRDER>
Extremely cute. ^^
Tom Petty is badass! Thanks for posting the video, haven't seen it for awhile
I love Alice in Wonderland too! Such a great story.
That costume is so cute!
A. I'm coveting your Alice costume! I would so wear it to the theater(tomorrow night!!!), cause I'm just that amazing.
B. I remember each and every one of those things, and adore them all.
C. I really do wish we lived closer to one another. We would so have fun gallivanting.

I am actually doubtoing about going to see the movie... I was very excited about it but the critics seem to be rather bad! If you go you will have to let us know! :O)
You look amazing in your cute Alice costume and wow that is a lot of different songs. Ha ha and very entertaining!
