You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 18.212.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 08:38, 2 March 2025. Your current IP address is 18.212.40.37.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Alice in Wonderland''''' is a 1933 American [[Pre-Code Hollywood|pre-Code]]<!--"p" in prefixed adjective "pre-Code" should always be lowercased within narrative.!--> [[fantasy film]] adapted from the novels by [[Lewis Carroll]]. The film was produced by [[Paramount Pictures]], featuring an [[ensemble cast|all-star cast]]. It is all [[live action]], except for the [[The Walrus and the Carpenter|Walrus and The Carpenter]] sequence, which was animated by [[Harman and Ising|Harman-Ising Studio]].<ref name=splog>((cite web|title=Harman-Ising's Alice|date=September 30, 2010|website=Michael Sporn Animation|url=http://www.michaelspornanimation.com/splog/?p=2391))</ref>

Stars include [[W. C. Fields]] as [[Humpty Dumpty]], [[Edna May Oliver]] as the [[Red Queen (Through the Looking Glass)|Red Queen]], [[Cary Grant]] as the [[Mock Turtle]], [[Gary Cooper]] as [[White Knight (Through the Looking-Glass)|The White Knight]], [[Edward Everett Horton]] as [[The Hatter]], [[Charles Ruggles]] as [[March Hare|The March Hare]], [[Richard Arlen]] as the [[Cheshire Cat]], [[Baby LeRoy]] as [[Joker (playing card)|The Joker]], and [[Charlotte Henry]] in her first leading role as [[Alice (Alice in Wonderland)|Alice]].

This adaptation was directed by [[Norman Z. McLeod]] from a screenplay by [[Joseph L. Mankiewicz]] and [[William Cameron Menzies]], based on [[Lewis Carroll]]'s books ''[[Alice's Adventures in Wonderland|Alice in Wonderland]]'' (1865) and ''[[Through the Looking-Glass|Alice Through the Looking-Glass]]'' (1871). It also drew heavily from [[Eva Le Gallienne]] and [[Florida Friebus]]'s then-recent stage adaptation.

When Paramount previewed the film in 1933, the original running time was 90 minutes. By the time it was shown to the press, it was truncated to 77 minutes. Many reviews, including the savage one in ''Variety'', made a point of how long it seemed at an hour-and-a-quarter. Though being released at this shorter time, it is often mistakenly reported that [[Universal Pictures]] edited it when it bought the television rights in the late 1950s.<ref name="auto">((cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0023753/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv|title=Alicia en el país de las Maravillas (1933)|work=IMDb))</ref> Universal released the film on [[DVD]] on March 2, 2010, as the first [[home video]] release.

It is the only major live-action Hollywood theatrical production to adapt the original ''Alice'' stories. The next major live-action Hollywood production to do so is a [[Alice in Wonderland (1985 film)|two-part adaptation for television in 1985]], and the second major live-action Hollywood production for movie theaters to use the title ''[[Alice in Wonderland (2010 film)|Alice in Wonderland]]'' was made by [[Tim Burton]] for [[Disney]] in 2010 as a sequel to the original story.

==Plot==
Alice (Charlotte Henry) and Dinah live peacefully in their home, until chasing a White Rabbit into a hole. Falling in, Alice is transported to various doors. She drinks a bottle that reads "Drink Me, Not Poison", which makes her grow big. Her tears flood the room while weeping. She eats a cookie and turns tiny. Swimming in her tears, she meets a couple of odd men named Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. She encounters a tea party, where the Mad Hatter and March Hare live. She meets the Cheshire Cat, then she meets Humpty Dumpty, who tells her what an unbirthday is. She leaves and meets a caterpillar and changes size again. Alice returns to her normal size and runs away from the caterpillar and meets the Queen of Hearts. They play croquet by grabbing a flamingo by the neck. Alice is welcomed to a castle, realizing that she is Queen or Princess of the land. The people of Wonderland start to go crazy. Alice gets choked by the Queen, wakes up in her room, and lives happily ever after.

Its status as a [[box office bomb]] cast doubt on whether a live-action fantasy with strange-looking characters could be successfully presented on the screen, until [[Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer|MGM]]'s ''[[The Wizard of Oz (1939 film)|The Wizard of Oz]]'' (1939).((citation needed|date=July 2021)) It was banned in [[China]] under a category of "superstitious films" for its "strangeness" and unscientific elements.<ref name="china">((Cite book|title=Cinema and Urban Culture in Shanghai, 1922–1943|last=Yingjin|first=Zhang|date=1999|publisher=Stanford University Press|isbn=9780804735728|pages=190|oclc=40230511))</ref>

''[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]]'' magazine said that the timeless classic book is too surrealistic and adult-oriented to have a good film adaptation. It said the film is "vividly realized" with genuine humor and a satisfying literary treatment, and the cast is "a stunning aggregation of screen names", but the experience is a non-sequitur "volume of separate four-line gags".<ref name="Variety 112">((cite magazine | magazine=[[Variety (magazine)|Variety]] | date=December 1933 | author=Rush | title=Alice in Wonderland | page=10 | volume=112 | url=https://archive.org/details/variety112-1933-12/page/n201 | access-date=July 23, 2021))</ref>
