In celebration with the release of Tim Burton's forthcoming Alice in Wonderland, which is apparently the 20th screen adaptation of the tale, the BFI have released a restored version of the very first adaptation which amazed cinema goers as long ago as 1908.
In a surprising echo of the new film, this version even features the director's wife in the role of the Red Queen
Only eight of the original twelve minutes survive, but what is there has been extensively restored, including the reinstatement of some early colour effects.
