With dozens of versions since for stage, film and TV, its beloved characters have been played by some of Hollywood’s most legendary actors.
Special collector’s set, with rare film, includes:
Alice in Wonderland (1915) — The first version near to the novel, this silent movie starred Viola Savoy. Though many believe the film to be lost in its entirety, includes all 52 minutes. Produced long before CGI, the creatures are costumed actors and the absence of dialogue creates a surreal, dreamlike quality. Also stars Elmo Lincoln, who went on to fame as the original Tarzan.
