Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1910 film)

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1910 film) is a silent film adaptation of Lewis Carroll's classic novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Directed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow, it is notable for being the first film adaptation of the novel.

The film starred Hepworth's wife, Alma Taylor, as Alice. The short film, running approximately eight to ten minutes, condensed the major plot points of Carroll's book into a brief visual narrative. Given the limitations of filmmaking technology at the time, the special effects were rudimentary but represented a pioneering effort to bring the fantastical elements of Wonderland to the screen.

While considered a landmark in cinema history due to its status as the first adaptation of a beloved literary work, the film is incomplete. Only a fragment of the original footage survives. This fragment offers a glimpse into early silent film techniques and how filmmakers of the era interpreted Carroll's fantastical world.
