Basically the movie word for word in comic form.

A nice trip down memory lane. Definitely still as odd as I remember.

The illustrations were as beautiful as one could hope! I loved the informative bits describing the illustration and storyboarding processes of the graphic novel adaptations for both of the live action films. However, I was disappointed there was no breakdown of the art of the 1951 animated film (as it’s also Disney), but that’s my only complaint!

🧠 My thoughts
A good adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. The artwork is colorful and pretty nice to read. At the end of the book, there was a part explaining how the author created the characters based on the movie which was really interesting to read.

However, I felt that the book lacked depth and the artwork confused me sometimes.

👍 What I like
- Nice artwork
- A decent adaptation

👎 What I don't like
- Confusing artwork
- Shallow story compared to the original and other adaptations

The story we all know and grew up with, just in graphic novel style. The illustrations were cute, very much a Disney, 80s or 90s style to me, which gave it a classic feel. A quick read, school kids would probably enjoy it as you get the whole story read so fast compared to a novel.

I waited a long time for this book. I’ve read most interpretations and retellings of my favorite story. This was, well, it was almost a frame by frame of what happened in the Disney movies. I appreciated the illustrations but I was hoping for a new re-imagining not an illustrated script of the movies.

I say, skip it and instead read Wonderland by Tommy Kovac or Splintered by A.G. Howard.
