One Of My Favourite Films: Alice In Wonderland

Don't judge me...one of my favourite films is Alice in Wonderland. That's the old Disney cartoon version, not the newer creepy one they made. It's the film I watch when I'm not feeling well and don't really feel like doing anything. It cheers me up.

For anyone who doesn't know the story it's about a girl called Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a crazy land where animals talk and there is a wicked queen called the Queen of Hearts who likes to chops of people's heads. Alice discovers many interesting things in this strange land while searching for a talking white rabbit. She then has some trouble finding her way home and runs into the wicked queen.

I actually used to like this film when I was a kid but just didn't realise. I loved it because it was so colourful. I think there is only one brief moment when Alice is lost in the forest that there isn't much colour. The scene with all the singing flowers is so beautiful, and all that colour helps brighten my mood somehow.

The music in this film is amazing. Some of it is crazy enough to reflect the craziness of the place that Alice is in. It has songs that aren't perhaps the most well known Disney songs, but they still manage to get stuck in my head for the rest of the day.

The Mad Hatter is the character I can most relate to because he loves tea almost as much as I love tea. The scene with the Mad Hatter's tea party is one of my favourites because it is so crazy and because it has a lot of tea! It is my aim in life to one day have my own Mad Hatter's tea party. It will be an extremely colourful event with more tea than you could possibly imagine!

Although I don't really think I am like Alice in many ways, I often find myself thinking that my curiosity can get me into trouble. If Alice hadn't been so curious about the White Rabbit she wouldn't have fallen down the rabbit hole in the first place. I doubt that sort of thing would happen to me, I'm more curious about things when talking to other people. It's the questions I ask that could sometimes get me into trouble. I love getting to know new things about people and sometimes ask people too many questions. I just find other people's lives really interesting and love to know more.

I am definitely very childish at times and can't help liking kids films. They're so easy to watch and they're perfect when I don't feel very well. Alice in Wonderland is definitely one of my favourites because it makes me so happy and brings back nice childhood memories. Hopefully one day I'll be able to have that tea party :p

What's your favourite film?

Lots of love
