>Hey /tv/! What's the best live-action adaptation of Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass?...and why is it Hallmark's Alice in Wonderland (1999)?

I liked the sify channel one, have yet to see the tin man adaptation.
Much of the visual design in the film is terrible, and it's yet another awkward mishmash of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Just adapt one of the books for fuck's sake. Mixing them arbitrarily together just tells me that the screenwriters involved are retarded. Despite there being a billion adaptations, I don't think a definitive one exists yet. Any version that ditches the original dialogue belongs in the trash, that's for sure, since Lewis Carroll's playful dialogue and linguistic games are half the appeal of the books. Adapting his works into film is arguably a bit foolish in the first place. Sure, Wonderland can be portrayed in interesting ways on screen, but 90% of the story is essentially just Alice having a series of long conversations with wacky characters. No wonder the Disney animation cut out huge chunks of the dialogue. Because Alice is such a fundamentally literary work, I prefer films that are explicitly inspired by it, like Henson's Labyrinth.
