Alice in Wonderland

On the data. Two books, four films, and no continuity at all except between the 2010 and 2016 ones. The books are Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, written by Charles Dodgson under the name Lewis Carroll and published in the 1860s and 1870s. They are too old to carry on this list, which only holds titles from 1880 onward, so they are named here instead. What matters for watching anything is that they are not one story in two halves. They are two separate dream stories with the same girl, and the Red Queen and the chess game belong to the second one, not the first. The 1951 Disney film mixes both of them anyway, which is why the Queen of Hearts and the Cheshire Cat and the Jabberwocky's world all turn up in the same place. It did badly. British critics disliked what it had done to a national text, American audiences found it cold, and Disney let it go to television within a few years, which was unusual then. It found its real audience in the late 1960s on college campuses, for reasons the studio did not plan and did not enjoy. The 2010 film is the hinge in Disney's whole modern business. It was not meant to be a remake, it was a sequel with Alice grown up, and it made over a billion dollars. Everything that followed, the live-action Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King, Aladdin, Dumbo, starts from the fact that this one worked. The 2016 sequel did not. James Bobin replaced Burton, it opened opposite a much bigger film, and it made under three hundred million against a budget of about one hundred and seventy. There has been nothing since.
