Alice in Wonderland (1951) - The Moral Of The Story (Film Analysis)

There is wisdom to be found most movies if you look for it, even films made 70 years ago that feature floating cats and smoking caterpillars. In Alice In Wonderland, the iconic Cheshire Cat gives Alice a dose of truth as she searches for a path out of a mysterious forest. If you don't know where you're head, how can you know what path to take? That's the question I explore in this analysis.

One interpretation of the Alice books that I'm particularly fond of is that of a young girl trying to make sense of adult world that surrounds her. Everything is so big and silly and confusing, and scary at times, but she thinks that if she can make it to the end of her journey (the Queen’s rose garden in Wonderland or the end of the chess board in Looking Glass), she’ll be able to make sense of it all. Of course, in the end, she gets there, and she finds that it’s just as stupid and silly as everything else she’s been through. She realizes that the adult world doesn’t have any kind of secret meaning behind the nonsense; it’s nonsense all the way down, and getting older is simply a matter of going insane and playing along. So she rejects the world the adults have prepared for her and decides to boldly forage her own path, maintaining her childlike sense of independence and spontaneity in order to actively shape her life as she sees fit, rather than passively allow herself to be shaped by the nonsensical world that surrounds her.

Ever notice that Alice and Wendy are essentially the very same character? Two teenaged girls that are afraid of moving on from their childhoods, wishing they could live somewhere where they could be children forever, get their wish, but realize that they truly have outgrown all these silly things they used to appreciate when they were younger, and just want to return to normal life.

Alice's story has always spoken to me in different ways I could not connect, your perspective connected it! Thank you for this brilliant POV : )

[tiffanypersaud]

This is amazing. The Cheshire Cat definitely has one of the most iconic lines in the whole film.

For me, the moral be mindful of your shifting surroundings and how they could lead (or mislead) you and as the Tweedles explained be careful on what your curiosity could get into.

Much as everybody loves Winnie the Pooh, I always love Sterling Holloway best when he gets more eerie and otherworldly like the Cheshire Cat, because you can tell that's where he's really having fun.

Dude this was great! This is one of my favorite Disney movies, and I always like seeing different people’s takes on the story. Your comments were extremely insightful and I just think this deserves more attention! Oh and btw I’m a huge fan of Pogo too haha.

[heyitslilah]

That’s a nice interpretation of that conversation with Alice and the Cheshire Cat

1. I love pogo's music

2. I also loved this video

[MayaLove]

I see it as a movie about perception like what is true and what is fake. In the movie Alice's perception is that the place she is in is real but then at the end she wakes up and realised it is all a dream. Also the characters make her question what she knows as well and confuse her with riddles. Also the signs are confusing cause they only say stuff like up, down, this way, that way, confusing Alice even more because they don't tell you exactly where you're going they just say the direction.

Some very good writing from Caroll and the team behind the film.

I spent the entire day looking for the view points in this Alice in wonderland video video. Thank you 😁👍

[AndreaMorales]

Not you mentioning Petersen as an outstanding psychologist lmao also have to agree with others who mentioned this, the point was that everyone in Wonderland needed and lived by the illusion of control but the Cheshire Cat understood the absurdity of it all and he was teasing her!

[JThCrator]

If you haven't already would you consider doing audiobooks? You did an awesome job on this.

[SurprisedPika]

What. You completely misinterpreted that last line. The cat was saying that as long as she does something she will be better than before. It has nothing to do with longterm goal-setting.

[seanpoole]

Great video man, this channel Is great and you deserve more exposure. You provide some good insight on a lot of topics. Keep up the good content 👍

[Lvnthvbs]

The is a wonderful analysis. Thank you for making it clear

[debbieleary]

From another perspective is that you can't get lost if you don't know where you're going, making either path a progression in moving forward. Wherever you go just be yourself and be happy, with grace and gratitude, love and light
