Down we go back down the Goodtimes rabbit hole with their take on Alice in Wonderland! It's Fall and they've got a lot of fountains... phelous.com / phelous
I think that the reason why Old Man never gets old as a joke is the fact that most of his humor comes from him interacting with different kinds of people and enviroments. So while he has his catchphrases like "Hieeee!" and "Completely useless now", he stays fresh by being in different situation everytime.
Plus he brings in new material like when one of the characters threatens to eat one of the alternate "old men" of one of the Beauty and the Beast movies, he "Sliders" his way out of there.
+AT Productions Yeah, that'd be like making a high-budget thriller movie that takes place in dreams and only show regular city streets and buildings in it, the only "dream wonder" being buildings that turn upside-down slowly. Wait...
+Gaucelm de Villaret Paprika is a fucking beautiful and crazy movie. You'll probably like it, but as with most anime you'll want to watch it with the original Japanese voice-acting + English subtitles. The dub is terrible imo.
okay in the book Alice does talk about a candle when she is shrinking for the first time but in the book she was comparing herself shrinking to a candle flame and wondering if she'll shrink until she is no more like a candle flame that goes out.
AND it's a satire on infinite numbers concept. The book is full of math! Author actually mocks the silliness of then-modern theories (like negative numbers, infinite decimals etc.) that can only exist in theory, instead of basic math that can be described with apples. You can add, reduce or even split apples, but you can't have X to the minus two apples. Or minus infinite apples etc.
Phelous, I'm sure you could easily get the rights to "Old Man" from GT Media for pennies. Do that and work on an official "Old Man" TV series. Ratings would go through the roof.
I've mentioned it somewhere, and this comment will most likely be lost under all the others, but I highly recommend the cheap knockoff of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. There is a scene where the love interest is in jail and sings and the prison bars come to life, but instead of fleeing, she ends her song and the bars go into place again while she whines that she can't get out. I watched this in 4th grade and was so insulted, I left class.
+MwieZorro I saw another cheap knockoff of the Hunchback of Notre Dame by Dingo pictures where the movie ends with Esmerelda walking free while Quasimodo is left in prison.
McCammalot The animated version makes her look much older than 7, which made this comment about books rather odd (was she lazy, not very smart or just not into reading ? ).
I actually listened to an audiobook version of the original "Alice in Wonderland" story recently and was surprised to discover how much closer the Goodtimes version is to its source material. Of course, I'm not saying it's a good movie. A lot of the dialogue in this version is ripped straight from the book and comes off feeling very forced, like the narration at the beginning and the part with Alice saying she feels like candle at 7:21.
Hey! It's me! Fyrekobra! From Deviantart! Hi there! Also, a lot of Goodtimes stuff is much closer to the source material, but it seems that you're right about the delivery of the lines, though.
Serious lack of Phelous yelling "THE CARE BEARS DID IT BETTER!" I always wanted to see Alice and Gaston hang out together, I think they'd get along really well! I want to know what kind of things HE imagines compared to what SHE imagines...I feel like the two of them would have a 'Return to Oz' or 'Neverending Story' kind of adventure together:):)

+leahcim That's pretty much exactly what this is! My mom bought me a "Princess Movie Collection" dvd from our local dollar store that was just a collection of the princess films made by this company. So, on it is a copy of the Beauty and the Beast movie that Old Man comes from......

+MrsXanatrix Nah, of course not. The link's just there for the info. And since Robert Walker pointed out, it's already on RUclips, so there it is, for the reviewer's future horror.
Loganberries were accidentally created in 1881, sixteen years after Alice in Wonderland was published. Boysenberries were a further hybrid from the loganberry, and only came about in like the 1920s, decades after Lewis Carrol's death. Also, neither of them are as easily available as regular, non-hybrid fruits, so what the hell?
The Snowman movie (Magic Gift of the Snowman IIRC) is actually their backstory. Not that it matters, even in this film they're completely useless. HEEEEEEEEE.
Math. The original story is about math and how then-new theories on it were silly to the point of absurdity... Author was a math professor and he thought imaginary and negative numbers are ridiculous.
Best part of when Phelous does a cartoon review is that you know there's going to be a Crazy Old Man bit. I get a look on my face like Spongebob every time I see that guy :D
I've been reading Alice in Wonderland to my daughter at bedtime and everytime I tell her to come on it's time to read I catch myself singing that stupid "Alice in Wonderland, growning tall, getting small down the rabbit hole she'll fall." Its pretty sad, but funny.
I must say this cartoon version is pretty accurate to the book. like 90% of the plot silliness you complained about was straight from the original story.
I don't know if you should really make fun of stuff in the movie that actually happens in the original story, which I've read. For example Alice really does drink from a bottle marked "Drink Me" when she saw that it didn't have "poison" written on it. It was because she had read several nice little stories that were common in Lewis Carrolls' day about horrible things happening to children because they didn't listen to what their friends told them, such as if you drink much from a bottle marked poison, it's bound to disagree with you, sooner or later. On the other hand, the Caterpillar smoked from a bong instead of a glass of juice with a crazy straw. Make fun of that all you like.
I think as other people has said before about these movies following the story,just because they do doesn't mean that it will be good same how books don't always translate into movies. Which is why people say disney movies do better because they either streamline or Mish mash from other versions of the tail to tell a better story that would be problematic or not make sense. That's not to say that others couldn't make a competent story while staying true. It's just what worked back then dosnt work now.
Yes! I remember him saying in another video (I can’t remember which one) that more accurate to the source material doesn’t automatically make something good.
... I'll NEVER get tired of those Old Man jokes. They make me giddy everytime I see him in your reviews. XD And for a movie such as Alice in Wonderland, you would think it would be a little more creative.
I think Ocean Group had a hand in this production... The rabbit sounds like he's using Don Brown's King Kai voice, and I'm pretty sure Alice is Venus Terzo (female Ranma among other voices...)
+Davethe3rd I think a good number of Good Times Entertaintment films featured Ocean Dub. Check the credits and you'll definitely recognise their voice acting crew.
well the Narrator Is played by Gary Chalk and the Mad Hatter and the cards are played by Ian James Corlett (who funny enough also played Goku in the ocean dub)
12:38 Alice: "What's this? The door to White Rabbit's house is unlocked? This must mean... I'm EXPECTED! :D Be our Guest, Be our Guest, eat all our food, leave us dead! Well, don't mind if I do! " Old Man: "Aw MAN! Why couldn't I have had HER as my sixth kid instead of Monsieur Rodent??"
Who is that guy who keeps getting his neck snapped by the old man anyway? What movie is he from? Also, while this was a very poor telling of the original story... one has to remember that every character in Wonderland is insane or works on nonsense logic so really some of the things Phelous commented on were IN the actual story as well.
I figure it's mainly because they normally can't be bothered to come up with a good adaptation, so they just fallow the book, whether it makes for good cinema or not.
Clint Howard The age gap makes it kinda creepy but I doubt it's not something the average teenager fantasized about back then. Disney Snow White is bae, though.
loliH9 one of the reasons is, because books and stories need to be changed a little or tinkered to make for a better movie. Things that work in a book may prove to be difficult to convey to an audience or too difficult to animate, so they're cut or melt into other aspects of the story, like how Disney's Alice and Wonderland's Queen of Hearts is a combination of the Red Queen and Queen of Hearts. These cheap knockoffs can't think about all of these aspects or of what to change, so they just rush it into production with as little changes as possible to save time and money on writing.
Phelous' reviews are always hilarious, but the craptastic animated movies are the best! Add in Old Man antics, and I laugh far harder than I probably should! Nice job!
+AnnoyingSquib They were all in the 1999 NBC version. Alice even had dark hair! I remember liking it when I was younger, not sure of how good it is by my current standards though.
I remember seeing that one. It had Whoopi Goldberg as the Cheshire Cat right? As I recall, for a place that seemed interesting and backward, Wonderland sure was dull in that one. They had everyone in it but it was so boring.
AnnoyingSquib Yeah it was that one. Looking at clips of it, it seemed really comprehensive plot-wise, but like you mentioned, Wonderland itself was was pretty bland.
+AnnoyingSquib Its a weird paradox, the more accurate versions are usually dull. The Disney version isn't the most accurate, but it got the spirit far better then the rest, and Tim Burton created a bastardized version that was dull AND not at all accurate. That is somehow getting a sequel in three month's.
+Tyler Bioshock R I personally enjoy the video game American McGee's Alice I think its a very interesting take on the tale and it does include everyone while making wonderland look interesting. The sequel is also pretty good but that's my personal taste and I would like to see a good theatrical take on the tale.
Space for commercials, maybe? A lot of shows that have "hour long" episodes are actually about 45-50 minutes in length in reality. I'm guessing they made it this way so that it could be aired with commercials added.
7:50 That strange bit of logic of her needing to get the key again because the small door is now locked for some reason is in the original book. Kind of bothered me as an adult - it's the sole reason she doesn't get into Wonderland from the get go and sends her off on her wacky adventure. Logically she could have just walked straight through and cut straight to the Red Queen. But I always got the impression it was meant to be like a strange dream where things are always eternally out of reach for reasons that don't make sense.
It's not supposed to make sense, since the original book was written for his niece. The real Alice had a highly developed imagination & would regale her uncle Lewis with stories when he visited, most of which were things she had dreamed. So when he wrote the books for her, everything from the rabbit arriving up to the end is a dream. The second book, Through the Looking Glass has a similar moment where all logic & sense go out the window to indicate she's dreaming. The door relocking on it's own was a nod to the way dreams do things that are frustrating & make no sense. I know I've had dreams like that where I do something that will allow me to move to the next step, turn my back for a quick second & suddenly the thing I just did is undone, completely on it's own, like I never did it. So, yea your feeling was right on the money ^-^ Had to edit fir some grammar & spelling
I remember being in 4th grade and being promised that we could watch Alice in Wonderland. Me, being a Disneyphile at the time, was excited to see the Disney version again after several years of not seeing it. What we instead got was a horrific knock off cartoon similar to this one, not the same, but God I want to find it because it was awful and would make for some incredible riffing.
Could you possibly describe it? I've seen about every Wonderland adaptation ever and could probably figure out which version you saw if you give me a few details.
Probably the only Wonderland-ish thing in this movie is the path the animals take to get Alice out of the house. I know it's a bit too dark, but with their odd logic, I can sort of imagine the townspeople thinking, "Well, the girl is IN the house, and we need her OUT of the house, so we'll just burn the house down! She'll certainly be out then! _Brilliant!"_
Seems a bit weird to critique the movie for aspects that were actually in the original story. But the movie looks so bland, and doesn't do a good job at bringing the tale to life, that I guess you need to latch onto something to actually talk about. STILL, pretty enjoyable, and was nice to see OLD MAN return-- since the Beauty and the Beast reviews were the first of your work I watched.
@@gracekim25 Been five years, so I had to start rewatching the video to recall why I thought this. So far seven and a half minutes in, and I can see a theme of mocking Alice for things that were actual lines from the book. Rabbit with a waistcoat, falling to the center of the earth, fear of burning out like a candle. The lines, themselves, in the book make a lot of sense and feel natural-- since we've been in the character's head long enough to know she tends to have silly trivial worries. The problem is that they're said on their own with no follow up. Like there's a whole tangent where Alice goes from talking about fear of falling through the earth and finding people on the other side that walk upside down, to her planning what she would say when she finds them. Like 'what longitude or latitude are we?' to which she brushes aside because she has only heard the words and don't know the meaning, so doesn't want to seem silly to the hypothetical strangers she might meet. Don't get me wrong, this isn't busting on Phelous at all. If anything more so stating how the adaptation doesn't work when they include lines without the full implications. Like the whole key thing? Dumb as hell in the movie, but in the book it makes sense when Alice tries every door in the room to see if they would work. Because, as a reader, you imagine that they must look like they MIGHT fit. Also, just watched on some more. There's a bit where Phelous pokes fun of them having the race-- which is something they do to get dry, since a history lesson wasn't dry enough-- and then he mentions how Wonderland just looks autumn in the movie. To be fair, nowhere in the book does it look trippy. The place is described as a beach, inside of homes, a garden, woods, and a court room. All places a real child may have seen or have some sort of knowledge of. Familiar places. I believe the more modern depiction of wonderland looking craycray has come from the Disney animated adaption, and that just stuck because of the popularity. So, in the regard, I don't think the Jetlag movie deserves flack for following the book.
This is one of the few adaptations that actually keeps the part of her neck growing and has the line of "You must be mad, because you wouldn't be here otherwise."
I think that the reason why Old Man never gets old as a joke is the fact that most of his humor comes from him interacting with different kinds of people and enviroments. So while he has his catchphrases like "Hieeee!" and "Completely useless now", he stays fresh by being in different situation everytime.
Interesting comedy theory you got there.
That and Phelous doesn't use him all the time. He just pops up every now and then.
Plus he brings in new material like when one of the characters threatens to eat one of the alternate "old men" of one of the Beauty and the Beast movies, he "Sliders" his way out of there.

+TheFanficFanPony If I laugh until I cry tears of laughter, what does that make me?
+Gaucelm de Villaret Useless but happy? I dunno. D:

Time for this beauty to become a beast! Get it?!?!?
Boobalopbop The best beast!!
I have to say my favorite reviews are of crappy animated movies. Goodtimes do ensue, but not for the reasons the creators expected.
"Who care about a book with no pictures?"
RRREADING IS OVERRRR RRATED
😊
I KKKNOW RRIGGHHHT
Paige would disagree with Alice there.
Phelous is the real Goodtimes entertaiment : - )
I love Old Man, he's the best running gag since Sub Zero.
Rubbish. You should know that The Wabuu is the greatest Phelous gag. FOR YOU hehehehehehe
I would realy like to see the other-other Beauty and the Beast adaptation that features "ugly son"
I'll cover it sometime.
+MrsXanatrix Was actually about to ask where 'ugly son' came from
+Phelan “Phelous” Porteous Hooray! :D
greywolf221121
You actually think I'm gonna spend money on that movie?
+MrsXanatrix Nah, of course not. The link's just there for the info. And since Robert Walker pointed out, it's already on RUclips, so there it is, for the reviewer's future horror.
Loganberries were accidentally created in 1881, sixteen years after Alice in Wonderland was published. Boysenberries were a further hybrid from the loganberry, and only came about in like the 1920s, decades after Lewis Carrol's death. Also, neither of them are as easily available as regular, non-hybrid fruits, so what the hell?
Anyone else notice the protagonists from the snowman movie were on the cheap cash in coaster
"I fell through a magical portal and landed in a puddle.... I'm completely useless now!"
Ironic considering that's their only ORIGINAL story
The Snowman movie (Magic Gift of the Snowman IIRC) is actually their backstory. Not that it matters, even in this film they're completely useless. HEEEEEEEEE.
"Anything goes in Wonderland" is a source of infinite jokes.
I don't want to brag or anything, but I single-handedely captioned this video :)
I'm going to assume you're telling the truth. FANTASTIC job, by the way.
Thank you (ㅅ´ ˘ `)♡
You’re completely useful now! HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
thank you
Is it bad that when they were talking about words that start with the letter M the first word that I thought of was meth?
No ...not all all but mine was milkshake
Since the story is a magical representation of drugs, No.
Mine was magnum because I wanted to blow my brains out.
Math. The original story is about math and how then-new theories on it were silly to the point of absurdity... Author was a math professor and he thought imaginary and negative numbers are ridiculous.
M is for MURDER!
Which happens a lot here...
Petition for Phelous to review every Good Times Entertainment ripoff movie
Wait a minute. That writer...George Bloom...
Is that the same writer who wrote for Transformers G1 and Bucky O'Hare? Guess he fell on hard times.
Actually, he fell on good times!
*laugh track*
The same person. He also wrote a dozen episodes of the original My Little Pony cartoon.
And the OG Magic School Bus cartoon
He fell on hard times, so he took a job at Goodtimes.
A logical solution. Not smart, but logical.
Best part of when Phelous does a cartoon review is that you know there's going to be a Crazy Old Man bit.
I get a look on my face like Spongebob every time I see that guy :D
Old man never gets old!
The Mad Hatter sounds like the same voice actor as Old Man
It's a living!
*laugh track*
no It’s actually Ian James Corlett
"Well, I always wanted to know what I would look like as a high as fuck asshole caterpillar." OH MY GOD X'D
I've been reading Alice in Wonderland to my daughter at bedtime and everytime I tell her to come on it's time to read I catch myself singing that stupid "Alice in Wonderland, growning tall, getting small down the rabbit hole she'll fall." Its pretty sad, but funny.
I must say this cartoon version is pretty accurate to the book. like 90% of the plot silliness you complained about was straight from the original story.
That Phelous for you!
It is like a dream and I love it.
@@imlate-official3714 I mean not everyone has read the book so….
Easily my favorite part 18:24
"Don't you DARE judge me little Miss 'will and drink ANYTHING', ya BITCH!"
followed by 18:35, which is definitely a peppermint park reference
Old guy in worderland, truly good times, good times.
/sings/ _Old Guy in Wonderland, it seems he was expected but he gets wet so he's completely useless now! HEEeeeeEEEEEE!_
I would watch a full Old Man in Wonderland adaptation
16:55 The Cheshire Cat loses his pupils and turns into a Creepypasta character for one frame.
“Gruesome murderrrrrrrs~ in Wonderlaaaaaand~!”
So, American McGee’s Alice, then.
Yea
I don't know if you should really make fun of stuff in the movie that actually happens in the original story, which I've read. For example Alice really does drink from a bottle marked "Drink Me" when she saw that it didn't have "poison" written on it. It was because she had read several nice little stories that were common in Lewis Carrolls' day about horrible things happening to children because they didn't listen to what their friends told them, such as if you drink much from a bottle marked poison, it's bound to disagree with you, sooner or later. On the other hand, the Caterpillar smoked from a bong instead of a glass of juice with a crazy straw. Make fun of that all you like.
Simaginary Friend It wasn’t a bong....it was a hookah pipe. He was smoking tobacco.
I think as other people has said before about these movies following the story,just because they do doesn't mean that it will be good same how books don't always translate into movies. Which is why people say disney movies do better because they either streamline or Mish mash from other versions of the tail to tell a better story that would be problematic or not make sense.
That's not to say that others couldn't make a competent story while staying true. It's just what worked back then dosnt work now.
I'm gonna start a chain!
M is for meandering, another word for filler!
+lightyearpig12 M is for Misery, felt by all throughout the film!
+Shane Attwell M is for Money, all that the makers care about.
+stlouisrocker100 M is for Malice, which was felt towards the studio.
M is for murderous, like the characters in the film!
M is for Mockbuster: this film is one!
The purple-treed "Earth" looks more mystical than Wonderland's never-ending fall.
Please never stop using the old man reference. It brings me joy every time I see it, even though I'm sure it's been like a million times now.
I just know Old Man is going to get one of his own Creepypastas, one of these days. Heck, he's practically a walking Creepypasta himself!
Reading phelous’s comments section conditions one to start instinctively hating comments that say “ACTUALLY THIS CASH IN IS ACCURATE TO THE BOOK”
Yes! I remember him saying in another video (I can’t remember which one) that more accurate to the source material doesn’t automatically make something good.
... I'll NEVER get tired of those Old Man jokes. They make me giddy everytime I see him in your reviews. XD And for a movie such as Alice in Wonderland, you would think it would be a little more creative.
I think Ocean Group had a hand in this production...
The rabbit sounds like he's using Don Brown's King Kai voice, and I'm pretty sure Alice is Venus Terzo (female Ranma among other voices...)
+Davethe3rd I think a good number of Good Times Entertaintment films featured Ocean Dub. Check the credits and you'll definitely recognise their voice acting crew.
well the Narrator Is played by Gary Chalk and the Mad Hatter and the cards are played by Ian James Corlett (who funny enough also played Goku in the ocean dub)
@@jcee1882 In their Hunchback of Notre Dame Scott Mcneil played almost every male
12:38
Alice: "What's this? The door to White Rabbit's house is unlocked? This must mean...
I'm EXPECTED! :D
Be our Guest, Be our Guest, eat all our food, leave us dead! Well, don't mind if I do! "
Old Man: "Aw MAN! Why couldn't I have had HER as my sixth kid instead of Monsieur Rodent??"
His name is Misuir Rodon.
8:33 the greatest entrance in the history of mankind.
He just comes in like "yeah bitch imma say what you're all waiting for"
Who is that guy who keeps getting his neck snapped by the old man anyway? What movie is he from?
Also, while this was a very poor telling of the original story... one has to remember that every character in Wonderland is insane or works on nonsense logic so really some of the things Phelous commented on were IN the actual story as well.
Someone posted a comment on a different video, saying he is from yet another version of Beauty and the Beast.
So what wasn’t in the story?
What's with these shitty adaptations always being more accurate to the source material?
I figure it's mainly because they normally can't be bothered to come up with a good adaptation, so they just fallow the book, whether it makes for good cinema or not.
Clint Howard The age gap makes it kinda creepy but I doubt it's not something the average teenager fantasized about back then.
Disney Snow White is bae, though.
***** The original Snow White is freaking brutal.
Now that I remember, they also cut the mock turtle, the lobster, and the gryphon. Seems like nobody likes them.
loliH9 one of the reasons is, because books and stories need to be changed a little or tinkered to make for a better movie. Things that work in a book may prove to be difficult to convey to an audience or too difficult to animate, so they're cut or melt into other aspects of the story, like how Disney's Alice and Wonderland's Queen of Hearts is a combination of the Red Queen and Queen of Hearts. These cheap knockoffs can't think about all of these aspects or of what to change, so they just rush it into production with as little changes as possible to save time and money on writing.
Goodtimes seems to have had a thing for airhead blonde chicks with cats... hmmmmm...
please dont stop bringing up beauty's father
TheRestinBones never
really? Phelous favorite color is Orange? also like the Old Man gag in this review!
That caterpillar actually looks a lot like Phelous.
I love the old man and his voice lol cracks me up every time
YES PHELAN NEVER STOP DOING THAT
“Now I know what a candle feels like.”
Because candles shrink.
At least Jetlag helped make this one and not Golden Films. Jetlag's version of The Nutcracker's pretty good in my opinion.
Old man will never get old. Well I mean he's called old man but I mean he will never stop being funny
Phelous, you always cheer me up after a tough day at work! Thank you!
The sky is orange…we must be in Morioh Cho! What a beautiful Duwang!
Phelous' reviews are always hilarious, but the craptastic animated movies are the best! Add in Old Man antics, and I laugh far harder than I probably should! Nice job!
Man. The Duchess, Griffon and Mock Turtle will never get their day in the sun will they?
+AnnoyingSquib
They were all in the 1999 NBC version. Alice even had dark hair!
I remember liking it when I was younger, not sure of how good it is by my current standards though.
I remember seeing that one. It had Whoopi Goldberg as the Cheshire Cat right? As I recall, for a place that seemed interesting and backward, Wonderland sure was dull in that one. They had everyone in it but it was so boring.
AnnoyingSquib
Yeah it was that one. Looking at clips of it, it seemed really comprehensive plot-wise, but like you mentioned, Wonderland itself was was pretty bland.
+AnnoyingSquib
Its a weird paradox, the more accurate versions are usually dull. The Disney version isn't the most accurate, but it got the spirit far better then the rest, and Tim Burton created a bastardized version that was dull AND not at all accurate. That is somehow getting a sequel in three month's.
+Tyler Bioshock R I personally enjoy the video game American McGee's Alice I think its a very interesting take on the tale and it does include everyone while making wonderland look interesting. The sequel is also pretty good but that's my personal taste and I would like to see a good theatrical take on the tale.
47 minutes?
What kind of random-ass running time is 47 minutes?
Space for commercials, maybe? A lot of shows that have "hour long" episodes are actually about 45-50 minutes in length in reality. I'm guessing they made it this way so that it could be aired with commercials added.
7:50 That strange bit of logic of her needing to get the key again because the small door is now locked for some reason is in the original book. Kind of bothered me as an adult - it's the sole reason she doesn't get into Wonderland from the get go and sends her off on her wacky adventure. Logically she could have just walked straight through and cut straight to the Red Queen. But I always got the impression it was meant to be like a strange dream where things are always eternally out of reach for reasons that don't make sense.
It's not supposed to make sense, since the original book was written for his niece. The real Alice had a highly developed imagination & would regale her uncle Lewis with stories when he visited, most of which were things she had dreamed. So when he wrote the books for her, everything from the rabbit arriving up to the end is a dream. The second book, Through the Looking Glass has a similar moment where all logic & sense go out the window to indicate she's dreaming.
The door relocking on it's own was a nod to the way dreams do things that are frustrating & make no sense. I know I've had dreams like that where I do something that will allow me to move to the next step, turn my back for a quick second & suddenly the thing I just did is undone, completely on it's own, like I never did it. So, yea your feeling was right on the money ^-^ Had to edit fir some grammar & spelling
@@DasSpaceAce hmm 🤔 ok
I remember being in 4th grade and being promised that we could watch Alice in Wonderland. Me, being a Disneyphile at the time, was excited to see the Disney version again after several years of not seeing it. What we instead got was a horrific knock off cartoon similar to this one, not the same, but God I want to find it because it was awful and would make for some incredible riffing.
Could you possibly describe it? I've seen about every Wonderland adaptation ever and could probably figure out which version you saw if you give me a few details.
Don’t you mean fan?😅 a Disney fan
I love that madness returns got a little cameo and recognition on this goodtimes video
If Alice was to fight she would fight like Antman. Changing her size in battle. All that eating would make her fat though.
Actually, if you played American McGees Alice, she fights more as Dante from DMC.
Masdaw Galshini I never played it. My sick and tired of 'Dark Alice in Wonderland' although I am sure it has earned its fans.
+Masdaw Galshini I've played Alice Madness Returns and she shrinks on command!
Alice would be Antman (or rather The Wasp ?)... Who else do we have for Goodtimes Avengers ?
I no joke actually have this as a DVD. Its weirdly nostalgic for me now.
Probably the only Wonderland-ish thing in this movie is the path the animals take to get Alice out of the house. I know it's a bit too dark, but with their odd logic, I can sort of imagine the townspeople thinking, "Well, the girl is IN the house, and we need her OUT of the house, so we'll just burn the house down! She'll certainly be out then! _Brilliant!"_
I Love that Old man is a reoccurring character
Seems a bit weird to critique the movie for aspects that were actually in the original story. But the movie looks so bland, and doesn't do a good job at bringing the tale to life, that I guess you need to latch onto something to actually talk about. STILL, pretty enjoyable, and was nice to see OLD MAN return-- since the Beauty and the Beast reviews were the first of your work I watched.
Mmm I’ve never read the book so not everyone knows how the actual story goes but um I guess the delivery is off in this movie 😅
@@gracekim25 Been five years, so I had to start rewatching the video to recall why I thought this. So far seven and a half minutes in, and I can see a theme of mocking Alice for things that were actual lines from the book. Rabbit with a waistcoat, falling to the center of the earth, fear of burning out like a candle. The lines, themselves, in the book make a lot of sense and feel natural-- since we've been in the character's head long enough to know she tends to have silly trivial worries. The problem is that they're said on their own with no follow up. Like there's a whole tangent where Alice goes from talking about fear of falling through the earth and finding people on the other side that walk upside down, to her planning what she would say when she finds them. Like 'what longitude or latitude are we?' to which she brushes aside because she has only heard the words and don't know the meaning, so doesn't want to seem silly to the hypothetical strangers she might meet.
Don't get me wrong, this isn't busting on Phelous at all. If anything more so stating how the adaptation doesn't work when they include lines without the full implications. Like the whole key thing? Dumb as hell in the movie, but in the book it makes sense when Alice tries every door in the room to see if they would work. Because, as a reader, you imagine that they must look like they MIGHT fit.
Also, just watched on some more. There's a bit where Phelous pokes fun of them having the race-- which is something they do to get dry, since a history lesson wasn't dry enough-- and then he mentions how Wonderland just looks autumn in the movie. To be fair, nowhere in the book does it look trippy. The place is described as a beach, inside of homes, a garden, woods, and a court room. All places a real child may have seen or have some sort of knowledge of. Familiar places. I believe the more modern depiction of wonderland looking craycray has come from the Disney animated adaption, and that just stuck because of the popularity. So, in the regard, I don't think the Jetlag movie deserves flack for following the book.
@@DarkwingSnark have you Ever heard of A Midsummer Night's Dream?
imagine those scenes in Alice in Wonderland play from 1888 the author helped out.
@@hamishmacfleetwood5229 I am aware of both plays, though I feel like I need an elaboration as to how your comment connects to what I said.
@@DarkwingSnark um ok🤷♀️ I don’t know how to respond to this 😅
This is one of the few adaptations that actually keeps the part of her neck growing and has the line of "You must be mad, because you wouldn't be here otherwise."
GAAAASSP! No way, another Goodtimes review?! Best Christmas present EVER!
