A Graphic NovelA classic favorite that I always enjoy. The insights at the end were wonderful as well. I always love seeing all the different artworks for this. Mad Hatter will always be my favorite.
There are two stories here and the first starts off well. I just couldn't/ didn't feel like investing the time to wander down this imaginary lane. I felt perhaps I would rather read the original novel. The graphics for the two stories are markedly different given the different illustrators. The book is further divided into how the two graphic stories came to being, in some way like a story board, which I glimpsed at, found interesting and satiating to see how a team works on a project like this....
I'd give this a 3 starts, maybe 3 1/2 idk.. it was kinda nice but i can't say it's better than other graphic novels that i've read. Still nice though
I loved the illustrations! However I felt like this graphic novel would have benefited with either better dialogue selections or additional pages so that the scenes flow a bit smoother. But it was still cute! I'm not sure if you really get anything extra out of this beyond the illustrations though.
I wanted to read a graphic novel version of Alice in Wonderland. This book was not that. I could not follow the story. The "making of the book/movie" sections at the end were interesting, but would have been better if I liked the book!
Beautiful narration and visual impact creation.
who asked for a graphic novel adaptation of a movie?!this is almost entirely my fault. i didn't do enough research when i snapped this up for like $2, and just assumed it was a retelling of the book. it was not. it was of the tim burton adaptation, which i ABHOR. that movie is a crime against lewis carroll.anyway. the art also wasn't my cup of tea, and i just found this to be really annoying the whole way through. felt a lot longer than 90-something pages.bottom line: this book does not need to
This graphic novel is the exact story of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland film. I felt the movie was a better platform to tell the story because time passage was hard to convey through graphic novel form. I felt like if I hadn't seen the film I would have been confused in some parts, but overall I did enjoy myself while reading it. Although some parts I found rather shallow and pendantic.(For you, Josh :))
lots of thoughts on this book... It was weird
This is the first graphic novel that I've ever read, and I did enjoy it. I've always loved the story of Alice, but I'm not really sure how I feel about it being turned into a graphic novel. I did love all the pictures, I didn't love the format.
Disney's graphic novel interpreationof Alice in Wonderland! The artworkwas cute and fitting, but I wish itwas a little darker/creepier.It also could have been longer.I did appreciate the little "making of"in the back though. It was interestinglearning about the process that the artistsgo through when developing a graphic novel!
Since I didn't really get on with Alice in Wonderland so well I thought I'd dive into the artistic side of it. I love the Tim Burton movie adaptation. But this was the exact retelling and I'd seen it before. In fact it was worse in graphic novel format. Felt like a chore to read. Only finished because I got it for free and was like 65 pages.
A really easy read and while the pictures were beautiful I just feel like the graphic novels didnt convey enough wonderland nonsense for my taste but then again I didn't think the movie did that great either
I adored this! A graphic novel adaptation of my comfort movie? Yes please! I see so many reviews say they wish they had sent gotten it and they thought it was something else. Well they should have done their research. But in my opinion it is absolutely perfection.
nice! 3,75
The artist TOTALLY ships Halice and that’s a straight fact.
My full review is here on my personal website. I'll post a few excerpts here, though:3.0 out of 5.0 starsThe very worst thing about this book is that it tries to follow the movie exactly. It’s just not possible and if I hadn’t seen the movie I would have been completely lost.The very best thing about this book is that about a third of the book is information about the story and the book. Kind of a “making of” if you will. :-)
A very quick re-cap of the movie Alice in Wonderland directed by Tim Burton. I gave this graphic novel 3 stars because it was far too quick for my taste. Lots of bits were left out. Not the important ones, but bits none the less. I have seen the movie a dozen times so I know which bits are my favorites and which are my favorites teehee. Like I said this is a condensed version. Fun to own anyways if you love Alice and this is a great companion to the movie if you are a collector.
I wasn't really impressed with this adaptation. It does a fair job of sticking to the outline of Disney's movie, but I bought it because I was interested in the artwork. I wasn't a big fan of the Disney live-action adaptation, but based on the book's cover, I thought I'd at least like the art. It just wasn't to my taste. I actually enjoyed the sketches that were shown in the back where the talked about creating the comic, more than I enjoyed the comic itself. It's very short too (I know, most co...
I liked this. I have always loved Alice in Wonderland, and I adored the 2010 live-action Disney film directed by Tim Burton - which is what this graphic novel is: an adaption of the 2010 film. It didn't really add anything, but it was fun to be in this world and to see it portrayed in a comic format. Enjoyed this. Can't wait for the sequel Alice Through the Looking Glass to hit theaters next month!!
