Alice in Wonderland inspired Digital Series

Picture
Alice in Wonderland has always held a special place in my imagination. As a child, reading the original novel by Lewis Carol was a magical experience. The colorful characters, the mysterious world, and the imaginative plot all captivated my young mind.
As I grew older, I discovered other adaptations of the story, including Tim Burton's dark and quirky movie version. While each interpretation differed in style and tone, they all shared the same sense of wonder and whimsy that drew me in.
In addition to these well-known versions, I also discovered the beautiful painted interpretations of Alice in Wonderland by Charles Blackman, one of Australia's most famous artists. His unique style brought a new depth and beauty to the characters and story that I had previously not encountered.
Throughout the years, the magic of Alice in Wonderland has stayed with me, and it is only recently that I have been able to put my thoughts and ideas about the characters and story down in detail. The enduring appeal of Alice in Wonderland continues to inspire and delight me.

The Blue Alice by Charles Blackman 

ALICE

"Alice in Wonderland is beloved by many for its charming and imaginative nature. The quote, "Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast," demonstrates Alice's willingness to believe in the impossible and embrace the strange and fantastical. While some may view this as naivety, it is actually a testament to Alice's open-mindedness and adventurous spirit. Those who are too sceptical or closed-off to believe in the impossible are not the type of people who would follow a rabbit down a hole and have the kinds of wild and wonderful adventures that Alice does. So, why waste time on sceptics when we can embrace the magic and possibility of the world around us?"

The statement "It's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then" suggests that one cannot return to the past and expect to find the same person they were before. This can be interpreted on a literal level, as Alice has undergone physical transformations that have changed her appearance and size. However, the statement also holds deeper meaning, as it can be applied to any type of personal change or growth. We are all constantly evolving and changing, and it is not possible to go back and be the same person we were in the past. Instead, we must move forward and embrace the changes that have shaped us into the people we are today.

The Cheshire Cat

"We're all mad here."
"We're all a little bit crazy here in Wonderland. The Cheshire Cat's statement captures the essence of this bizarre and surreal place, where the rules of reality do not apply. However, being "mad" or eccentric is not necessarily a negative thing in this world. In fact, it is encouraged and celebrated. This serves as a reminder to embrace our quirks and individuality, and to not be afraid to let our unique personalities shine. Perhaps by embracing our madness and embracing the unpredictable in Wonderland, we can take a little bit of that back with us to the real world and infuse a bit of whimsy and wonder into our everyday lives."
