The similarities between the films are the storyline, and the characters. Storyline usually involves a young fearless girl, bored with her life and neglect by parental figures. Leading for her, to look another reality with an animal guide, just as The Wizard of Oz with the rainbow trail, and Alice in Wonderland with looking glass. In Coraline case is a small door leads to the new wonderful reality. Once visiting the new reality, the main character never wants to leave until something unexpected happen to them.
In the beginning of the story, Alice leaves her ordinary world and falls down a rabbit hole. This marks the beginning of a road of strange adventures ahead of her. The adventure begins with Alice and her sister, sitting by the riverbank. The rabbit was muttering something to itself and Alice was curious. Then, the rabbit went down a rabbit hole and “In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again.”
The title of the book “Still Alice” is ironic because while her body is still Alice, she loses her personality and passions. In essence,
she met children’s author and illustrator James Proimos, who talked her into giving children’s books a try. Thinking one day about Alice in Wonderland, she was struck by how pastoral the setting must seem to kids who, like her own, lived in urban surroundings. In New York City, you’re much more likely to fall down a manhole than a rabbit hole and, if you do, you’re not going to find a tea party. What you might find...?
In Frank Beddors’ The Looking Glass Wars, the story we all know and love is turned upside down and spun around. In Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland we see a young girl from London that fell down a rabbit’s hole into a wonderful world that she had never seen before. In Beddors’ story, we see that Alyss is the princess of Wonderland and is forced out of the queendom. She grows up in England only to be rescued by an old friend. When they returned Alyss takes down her evil aunt Redd and reclaims her queendom.
Coraline In the novel ‘Coraline’, originally written by Neil Gaiman, the two main important themes are shown throughout the book are family and identity. In ‘Coraline’, identity is very important in the novel. The fact that the black cat argued that names are just useless tags that nobody needs, really makes the reader think that there is no use in names. Family is also a very important theme, because during the start of the book, there were two different families: Her real parents, and her other mother and her other father.
Coraline is a 2009 dark fantasy stop motion film based on the 2002 novel of the same name by Neil Gaiman. The film follows Coraline, an adventurous girl who discovers her idealised world behind a secret door in the house, unaware of the other worlds sinister secrets. The genre found throughout the film correlates with the dark fantasy genre, which is a subgenre of the fantasy genre. It incorporates darker themes of fantasy into the literary, artistic and cinematic works found in fantasy films. Additionally it will most often contain combinations of fantasy with several aspects that can be found in horror films.
Have you ever wondered what it would be like in a different world? A different universe even! Where everything's the same… But better! Well that's what happened for Coraline Jones. Coraline is made by Neil Gaiman.
I took this opportunity to compare the text of Coraline by Neil Gailman to the movie interpretation by Henry Selick. There were many differences evident throughout the whole movie but a few of the main contrasts I noticed were the addition of a new character “Wybie” who gives her a doll and the dissimilarity in endings. In the book, Coraline is caught talking mostly to herself which built onto her character and there was also no mention of a doll that she had. However, in the beginning of the film, we are introduced to a boy named Wybie who acts as her companion throughout her adventures. He gives her his grandmother’s doll that looks very similar to Coraline which unknowingly acts as a way for the “Other Mother” to see her and how unsatisfied
For years the film Coraline by Henry Selick has been acknowledged and treasured from numerous people, young and old alike. The piece received incredibly positive reviews based on its well told story line, originality, soundtrack and visually pleasing attributes. Although Coraline may be an unnerving film, it is an undeniable masterpiece. The film begins as Coraline and her parents are seen moving into a dreary town.
John Logan’s 2013 play Peter and Alice is an emotional exploration of the two real life characters that motivated two great stories. Peter and Alice directed by Rob Croser is a story full of life. A consultation between the real Alice in Wonderland and the real Peter Pan in a London bookshop in 1932. It was a production that needed to hit the spot, as it was the 100th production by the company. While Rob Croser was successful in portraying the emotions of each character, the reoccurring motifs throughout the production were tedious.
THEME OF ISOLATION AND SEARCH FOR SELF IDENTITY The main plan of the story Alice in Wonderland is that the seek for self-identity and for one 's purpose within the world. We know, from the start of the story, that there 's a niche between Alice and her sister in terms archaic and interests. We are able to infer from the story that Alice has no peers, which she is in a very pre-adolescent stage with a special intuition that separates her from the others. Concisely, Alice in Wonderland is that the symbolic journey of a fille through a world that she is commencing to analyze and see otherwise.
In the Victorian age, children’s condition was a problem. treated as miniature adults, they were often required to work, were severely chastised, or were ignored. Exactly in that period Charles Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carrol wrote “Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland”, a novel that tells of a girl named Alice falling through a rabbit hole into a fantasy world. It is first of all a children’s book as it has a child protagonist; however it appeals to adult readers with its advanced logical reasoning, witty puns and trenchant satire of Victorian society. So we can consider it as a drastic reaction against the impassive didacticism of British upbringing.
The characters in the movie are also much more developed, in contrast to the book where most characters are used just to point the story in certain direction. Despite the changes that were made for the movie adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, the characters and parts of the story that are commonly associated with it, such as the rabbit hole and the Cheshire Cat have been kept. An example of this is the white rabbit. The rabbit is the first glimpse that Alice gets of the fantasy world, so it is a very important character.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland can be described as a work of fantasy and literary nonsense. The story follows seven-year-old Alice, as she falls down a rabbit hole and enters a strange and absurd world
