Thanks for watching, SoloFam! Hope you've enjoyed dissecting Alice's Adventures in Wonderland with me :) Which chapter would you say was your favorite?
CZcams is snatching likes, boo. I've liked other videos and when I went back to look at the video it wasn't "liked" anymore. The same happened to your video 2 weeks ago. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Probably the last. I love how the story ended with Alice's sister leaving the reader dreaming with their imagination. It's what I do on a daily basis lol
If you do an another video in the next 2 weeks you should make a video "the messed up Origins of Pitch Black" and his relationship with Moonlight aka Jack Frost.
I would like to suggest something Jon. Since you are slowly becoming a literature class I'd loooove to tune in to, would you like the idea of really dwelling into different fairy tales around the world? Start with the Philippines and you'll get 10k likes in no time LOL
I feel so sorry for poor Alice. She is constantly being told to say a poem from memory on the spot and then being told that she is saying the poem wrong. Also I AM SO glad that I do not live in Wonderland. I’d go co-bonkers!!!!
It strikes me as you cut between the John Tenniel illustrations and the Disney clips that the latter did pay much homage to the former. Carroll's words stand on their own but the marriage of them with Tenniel's pictures is priceless, so much so that they are hard to separate. So glad you discussed the sister's dream. I believe it is the pure theme of where Carroll was taking us.
I have always interpreted this story from a child's perspective. Adults and the directives they give, conversations they the things that frustrate them are so confusing to children. Also, the wonderful imagination that children have and, sometimes use to escape boring or uncomfortable situations is incredible.
Please do the Messed Up Origins of the following: Jack and the Beanstalk The Wizard Of Oz Hansel and Gretel The Selkie Bride Bluebeard The Lion King The Sword in the Stone The Ugly Duckling Music Land The Goddess of Spring Anastasia The Swan Princess Thumbelina *The Ugly Duckling, Music Land, The Goddess of Spring are also part of Silly Symphonies like The Pied Piper and Three Little Pigs while Anastasia, The Swan Princess and Thumbelina are non-Disney animated films. 1. Anastasia is a loose adaptation of the legend of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna of Russia 2.The Swan Princess is based on the ballet, Swan Lake 3. Thumbelina is based on the fairy tale of the same name by Hans Christian Andersen. 4. The Ugly Duckling, like Thumbelina, is also based on the fairy tale of the same name by Hans Christian Andersen. 5. Music Land is loosely inspired by Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare 6. The Goddess of Spring is based on the Greek myth of Persephone and Hades. 7. The Selkie Bride is a Scottish folktale about a mythological being called a selkie. A selkie is a mythological being who is capable of therianthropy, changing from seal to human form by shedding their skin. A typical folktale is that of a man who steals a female selkie's skin, finds her naked on the sea shore, and compels her to become his wife. But the wife will spend her time in captivity longing for the sea, her true home, and will often be seen gazing longingly at the ocean. She may bear several children by her human husband, but once she discovers her skin, she will immediately return to the sea and abandon the children she loved. Sometimes, one of her children discovers or knows the whereabouts of the skin. Sometimes it is revealed she already had a first husband from her own kind. Although in some children's story versions, the selkie revisits her family on land once a year, in the typical folktale she is never seen again by them. In one version, the selkie wife was never seen again (at least in human form) by the family, but the children would witness a large seal approach them and "greet" them plaintively. Male selkies are described as being very handsome in their human form, and having great seductive powers over human women. They typically seek those who are dissatisfied with their lives, such as married women waiting for their fishermen husbands.
It is a very whimsical little children story. And the thing I like most, is that it doesn't have to make sense or have any hidden meaning or any lessons. But I think one lesson every one can take from the book, is that it's best to have some child like qualities like honesty and innocence. And always good to have an imagination.
So here’s my take: I have ADHD and Dyslexia and I can relate a lot to the book. If changes direction so often just like my adhd makes me get side tracked and go off on tangents, many of us call that going down the rabbit hole. It seems like nonsense to everyone else yet it makes perfect sense to me. Her repeating the verse of various poems just to be told they’re wrong when she’s sure she said them right is very relatable with my dyslexia, I can’t tell you how many times I say the wrong thing and think I’m saying the right thing. Many of the characters seem like analogies of various disabilities or other neuro divergent qualities, with the Griffen saying “he’s making it up” to describe the mock turtles sadness resonating a lot since many people think people with invisible disabilities are making it up for attention. The short temperedness of most the characters and irritability covers symptoms for a lot of disabilities, from ADHD to bi polar disorder and beyond. Even the Cato pulled/hate/hatter interrupting and not letting Alice finish her sentence, very common for me and other people with disabilities because we think we know the next thing they intend to say and our poor impulse control makes us cut other people off without meaning to. The dog seeming normal seems like an analogy for service dogs or emotional support dogs because neuro divergent people do tend to form strong bonds with animals especially dogs but I know this was written well before the current system of service/support animals was created. It seemed to give a small amount of normalcy to her in a strange and chaotic world, which comforted her. The cat admitting he’s mad just like everyone else reminded me of ND people like myself who have accepted our different-ness and recognize everyone’s a little different in their own way. You said many times the author meant nothing deep or philosophical and only meant to write a story to entertain a child with whimsical nonsense and yet I’d argue that still is justifiable grounds to analyze the deep physiology of childhood and coming to terms with a chaotic world, especially if you are different or especially if you feel a strong sense of justice even when it’s contrary to those around you. It can also be seen as a reflection of childhood wonder and admiration, albeit it is sorta creepy his fondness for children even with the context of Victorian England.
I marathoned this entire miniseries in one sitting. I look forward to your analysis of Through the Looking Glass, as that's an even stranger and trippier story. I hadn't heard there was an earlier revision of the first book that's quite different though, and that kind of intrigues me. Perhaps what intrigues me most is that although writing fiction seems to often be a seemingly challenging balancing act of entertaining and tying everything into a suitable moral, the Alice books go the other way, and I have to admit that it must have been even more challenging to write a complete non-sequitur with no real moral, have that be the moral, and have it all work. It isn't all an incoherent mess, and what is incoherent is fittingly so. I'd best describe Alice as organized chaos, as none of the chaos is really at odds with the rest of the story, and in fact, is in harmony with it.
For some reason I'd like an in depth of the chesire cat because he's such a strange and popular character. He's kinda like Boba Fett where he wasn't MEANT to be important but the fans adore him and made him important
This is my favorite story you've done so far! I'm deployed right now and there is nothing going on so I've successfully binge watched your entire series and I'm loving it!! Thank you so much for doing what you do! You're amazing!
THANK "YOU" JON!!! Glad to hear that you're going to continue on Alice's Adventure Series - awesome presentation and really fun to follow stories of the book along with the background! Have a great Xmas and new year and get some rest #SoloFam will miss you on the holiday break !!! Thank you for the content.
How is going with the „Through the looking glass”? I loved this series and would love to watch the „Through the looking glass” one too. Thank you, @Jon Solo !
Ok I don’t know why but whenever the scene with the flowers and butterflies would come on I would pause the movie, run to the living room and demand my dad made me butter bread Not toast, bread with butter And to this day I still don’t know why I do it
..I think the twisted American McGee's Alice captures all this better...well..except for the fact everything is twisted and broken because Alice herself is more than a little broken inside due to story events. Great series.
There is this book called the phantom tollbooth. it is very much like alice in wonderland but instead of a girl like alice it is a boy. i’m not sure if that book has an origin but maybe you could check it out and even if it doesn’t have an origin i’d still love to hear a summary of it because you explain the stories so well
The thumbnail actually made me think The Disney Queen of Hearts was flipping off the The Book Queen of Hearts, and the book one was gasping because of it
I used to think the dormouse said "Feed your head", but I couldn't find such a phrase in the book. As I recall, in the trial, there is reference made to something the dormouse said but it is never revealed what exactly it was. It was only brought up to deflect being questioned. My memory, however, is full of holes which my imagination tries desperately to fill, so do take this with a grain of pepper.
Well done Jon this is a great presentation for such an intricate story! Its made me want to read the book itself its so different to the disney version. Im so curious to understand what it was like back in those days. It had me a bit bedazzled lol but for a quick review on it you did the best 😊😊
@@latrolettteeeeeee Wow, well thats a different perspective! If thats what you call flirting😂 Trolette there is a significant difference to admiring someone's hard work to hitting on them.
I grew up in the 80s and 90s, there was a miniseries of Through the Looking Glass. It starred famous actors of the time. I remember Carol Channing signing in it. It was very weird.
@@latrolettteeeeeee please don't take medicine for it or if you have children please don't put them on medication for a.d.d. because the medicine makes them lifeless my cousin at a anger management facility put me on it just try to control it yourself that's what I did. My cousin took me off of it because I was spaced out all the time and sleepy.
@@latrolettteeeeeee different people react differently to the medicine my doctor told me not to take it. I'm sorry if you feel different but that's what works for me.
My high school did "Alice in Wonderland" for our fall musical during my sophomore year and it was so much fun! I was in the ensemble and got to be a townsperson, a dancer in the Caterpillar song ("Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah"), and a card! I even got a special job: during the trial scene, the King of Hearts looked at me and clapped twice, so I ran offstage and got a gavel and then came back. The King of Hearts hit the gavel on a block of wood I also brought on, and for the rest of the trial scene, I just stood there with the gavel positioned above the block of wood. It wasn't a HUGE role, but I still remember having a TON of fun! I don't remember what card I was, we didn't really have assigned cards to wear *shrugs*
Hey Jon there is actually a movie of Alice in wonderland done in 1999 that is pretty accurate to the book except it adds a few extra scenes. Tweedledum and tweedledee and The walrus and the Carpenter. Which I believe enhance the movie. I love this version of the movie and I recommend everyone watch it.
I'm glad I followed you down the rabbit hole. I accidentally stumbled upon this, and as soon as I saw Messed up Origins and Alice in Wonderland, I was hooked. Alice is one of my favorite stories of all time, well, my time at least. 😁
What an EXCELLENT series! And this was beautifully and brilliantly done! I really enjoyed all four of these videos and honestly, ALL of the videos you do. This was a fun ride! Keep up the great work! 🤗👍🏽👍🏽
It's interesting how you said there are no real morals to take away from this story, and I agree! This story makes no real sense, but it has hints of hidden genius of a very intelligent author. But it seems to be a story that Carroll understood more than anyone else. I guess if we really want to attach any meaning to it, we could classify this story as being subjective. For me personally, I could see it in a few ways. One way, is that it's a crazy as hell drug trip, but that's not really in-depth. LOL But I remember watching the animated movie as a kid, and other movies like Dumbo, and saw at least one common theme in these stories. One theme was that Alice and Dumbo are these innocent youths observing, witnessing, experiencing their strange environments. I don't think it's so much about life making sense, but mostly about how life doesn't make sense, especially to a child. Maybe Alice's dream was her subconscious' way of trying to make sense of things going on in her waking life, or some kind of symbolism that life in general, through her eyes or others' eyes, just doesn't make sense a lot of times. Same goes for Dumbo, he's a youth born into a strange environment with a gift he doesn't yet understand, and no one else understands, which makes him all the more confused as to why no one else seems to accept him. It's just youths reacting to a strange world and trying to make sense of what happens to them. I liked the interaction between Alice and her sister at the end, and how the sister pondered and imagined Alice's dream being real when she is left alone. It has an eerie quality to it, like something is haunting both of the sisters. The idea of suddenly imagining Alice's dream come to life in the settings of everyday life, while I don't think anything in Wonderland is supposed to symbolize anything in waking life, it's still a scary notion to me. It almost reminds me of the ending to a scary story, like just when you thought Alice left all the insanity behind in her dreams, we suddenly discover that Wonderland followed her home, and is now somehow contacting her sister. I also like that the sister pondered Alice's kind heart and creativity, it's always touching for me to hear when family members accept others just as they are. It kinda reminds me of a piece of flash fiction I wrote about 4 years ago. It's a short story about a mother narrating how she watches her 4-year-old daughter play out in the back yard with imaginary friends and pretending to fight off bad guys in her own little dramas she makes up, and at first being concerned about her daughter being able to discern her fantasy world from reality, but at the end, realizing that her daughter is just creative and young, and will grow, but also has an active imagination that could serve her well later in life. It's called, "My Little Princess." Kinda neat that it sounds like this story had the same idea. :)
You did a wonderful job of clearly presenting the characters of Alice to us, dear Jon! I did not want it to end. I love your quirky sense of humor and your story telling abilities. Please keep the videos coming.
I love your show bro. And wow on the first Alice in wonderland episode when you actually explained how much research when into making the series, that is fucking amazing. I know you've mentioned the research part before but after you explained it the last time, it really helped me understand how much goes into making these videos. You put a lot of work in and you fucking awesome at what you do bro, keep it up. #JonShot1st
Jon need’s to get way more recognition. He has relatively few subscribers; which he doesn’t deserve (he needs more). The quality content he makes needs your love. Xx
The 1972 Movie adaptation of Alices adventures in wonderland was one of my favourite films growing up! Theres so really strange and creepy moments but its the best version in my eyes
I don’t know what made you start this channel. But I like it! Good idea - and you’re a good story teller and I love the questions and info no one else talks about!
In June 1999, I learned I was pregnant. I had a copy of Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass (both in one book). I read part of the book out loud to my unborn son, then continued after he was born. I actually never got to finish reading it to him; life got in the way. I never saw the animated Disney movie in full. I love the stories as they were in the book! I can't comment on the movies based on it. I DID wonder if the author visited opium dens while writing the story!
Jon, your 'Trial of The Century' one-liner inspired me to try and make a series in some format detailing other Wonderland trials, as a satire of courtroom shows like Judge Judy
All your hard work and research is appreciated Jon! This was a cool video, I always wondered who happened to some of his characters that didn’t make it into the movie, it was so long ago that I read the books.
Well done Jon! I've learned so much about my favorite Disney animated films and my favorite fairy tales. May I suggest that you delve into the animated version of Animal Farm? Also perhaps the Film "Song Of The South", which was inspired by Uncle Remus's Tales.
Honestly, the most Alice-y thing I've ever really loved was Alice: Madness Returns on PS3. It was a fun game, and my first M-rated game. An M-rated 3-D collectathon platformer magical enough to satisfy my need for un-realism in games? It's brilliant! I knew a bit more than I think most do about the original Alice in Wonderland…I may or may not have read the original story, but I saw a play based on the original story, and what's more, I do not recall the Disney version, I probably saw it when I was little but I remember nothing about it, so I don't have that clogging my knowledge or memory. Regardless, I think you've earned a sub from me, Mr. Solo. Going through all your "messed-up origins" videos has been really interesting, and I'm happy that you put in so much effort in your research - I've had a few previously-held beliefs I've had debunked by this series, so it's been a good time! Carry on, good sir!
Watching your videos is just like a summarised version of when my mum would tell me stories as a kid. You're my new favourite channel on CZcams man keep it up real good content.
Jon, I absolutely love your messed up origins series, been watching it for a while now. You really do research and know what you're talking about. I think you're doing great, keep up the good work! Hopefully we'll be enjoying this series for a long time to come. Lots of love from the Netherlands
Well done Jon, i love your videos... Speaking about Alice in Wonderland, Im also really curious about the connection between the books and the video games: American Mcgee's Alice Alice: Madness Returns you should give them a try, they are very interesting, in a More Dark and Demonic style of way.
Ugh… I need more content! Do the 90’s live action Alice in Wonderland i use to watch as a kid that had the rabbit on rollerblades! Also do “through the looking glass” book and movie!
after watching these episodes i realized one big thing about u... u look like sheldon cooper! lol well, i really enjoyed these episodes so thxs for making me smile and laugh! my favorite chapter was probaly chapter 1-3
I am eternally grateful to you, Jon! Alice in Wonderland has always fascinated me, and I've heard multiple analyses, but your style of retelling it is far and away the best. Keep it up!
Thanks for watching, SoloFam! Hope you've enjoyed dissecting Alice's Adventures in Wonderland with me :) Which chapter would you say was your favorite?
CZcams is snatching likes, boo. I've liked other videos and when I went back to look at the video it wasn't "liked" anymore. The same happened to your video 2 weeks ago. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
How about messed up Origins "Shrek"? Where you compare the book to the movies.
Probably the last. I love how the story ended with Alice's sister leaving the reader dreaming with their imagination. It's what I do on a daily basis lol
If you do an another video in the next 2 weeks you should make a video "the messed up Origins of Pitch Black" and his relationship with Moonlight aka Jack Frost.

That would be quite the undertaking, since there are about 14 Oz books.
No one:
Mock turtle: *cries*
The Mock Turtle is the original Sponge Bob.
the mock turtle in the movie looks like a cow turtle so (I guess my names weren't that much better)
Anyone remeber that part in the movie where a walrus eats a whole family of oysters?
Beytwice Knowmore yeah, it’s from a little poem,lol
Yep! Poor little oysters
OMG YES! That used to make me scared as a child, but now I just shake my head and say, “Well then…”
sure do
Yeah that’s in the other Alice book, through the looking glass
I feel so sorry for poor Alice. She is constantly being told to say a poem from memory on the spot and then being told that she is saying the poem wrong. Also I AM SO glad that I do not live in Wonderland. I’d go co-bonkers!!!!

As I recall, in the trial, there is reference made to something the dormouse said but it is never revealed what exactly it was. It was only brought up to deflect being questioned. My memory, however, is full of holes which my imagination tries desperately to fill, so do take this with a grain of pepper.
Well done Jon this is a great presentation for such an intricate story! Its made me want to read the book itself its so different to the disney version. Im so curious to understand what it was like back in those days. It had me a bit bedazzled lol but for a quick review on it you did the best 😊😊
OH SHUT UP COURTNEY. HE WON'T FLIRT WITH YOU. THIS IS NOT FEMINSISM
@@latrolettteeeeeee Wow, well thats a different perspective! If thats what you call flirting😂 Trolette there is a significant difference to admiring someone's hard work to hitting on them.
@@courtneewho8906 COURTNEY YOU WANNA HAVE HIS BABIES. I KNOW IT
@@latrolettteeeeeee 😂😂🤣🤣
@@courtneewho8906 UR UGLY AND HOMOPHOBIC
I grew up in the 80s and 90s, there was a miniseries of Through the Looking Glass. It starred famous actors of the time. I remember Carol Channing signing in it. It was very weird.
This was a great topic dude. You have a good Chanel.
For a person with a.d.d. I can follow Jon storys. I have a whole playlist set for them
DID YOU GET MEDICATION ? PLZ TELL ME WHICH DOCTOR
@@latrolettteeeeeee please don't take medicine for it or if you have children please don't put them on medication for a.d.d. because the medicine makes them lifeless my cousin at a anger management facility put me on it just try to control it yourself that's what I did. My cousin took me off of it because I was spaced out all the time and sleepy.
@@HiMynamesNece That's not true. Medication is needed
@@latrolettteeeeeee different people react differently to the medicine my doctor told me not to take it. I'm sorry if you feel different but that's what works for me.
@@latrolettteeeeeee it actually is. In order to get rid of, or work with a.d.d is to fight through it on your own without the aid of medication
My high school did "Alice in Wonderland" for our fall musical during my sophomore year and it was so much fun! I was in the ensemble and got to be a townsperson, a dancer in the Caterpillar song ("Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah"), and a card! I even got a special job: during the trial scene, the King of Hearts looked at me and clapped twice, so I ran offstage and got a gavel and then came back. The King of Hearts hit the gavel on a block of wood I also brought on, and for the rest of the trial scene, I just stood there with the gavel positioned above the block of wood. It wasn't a HUGE role, but I still remember having a TON of fun! I don't remember what card I was, we didn't really have assigned cards to wear *shrugs*
Hey Jon there is actually a movie of Alice in wonderland done in 1999 that is pretty accurate to the book except it adds a few extra scenes. Tweedledum and tweedledee and The walrus and the Carpenter.
Which I believe enhance the movie.
I love this version of the movie and I recommend everyone watch it.
Was really watching a documentary in class and literally snuck my phone out just to watch this😂♥️
Weird flex but ok
Yeah it sucks I don’t get out on break until this Friday 🙄🙃
Reigan Lewis same
That’s a really big waste of your time.
I'm glad I followed you down the rabbit hole. I accidentally stumbled upon this, and as soon as I saw Messed up Origins and Alice in Wonderland, I was hooked. Alice is one of my favorite stories of all time, well, my time at least. 😁
CZcams is now the quintessential "rabbit hole".
Yes! I need more nonsensical nonsense!🙌 Loving this new series Jon!
I watched all your Messed Up Origins and you gained a new subscriber.
What an EXCELLENT series! And this was beautifully and brilliantly done! I really enjoyed all four of these videos and honestly, ALL of the videos you do. This was a fun ride! Keep up the great work! 🤗👍🏽👍🏽
Excited for seeing the rest
It's interesting how you said there are no real morals to take away from this story, and I agree! This story makes no real sense, but it has hints of hidden genius of a very intelligent author. But it seems to be a story that Carroll understood more than anyone else. I guess if we really want to attach any meaning to it, we could classify this story as being subjective.
For me personally, I could see it in a few ways. One way, is that it's a crazy as hell drug trip, but that's not really in-depth. LOL But I remember watching the animated movie as a kid, and other movies like Dumbo, and saw at least one common theme in these stories. One theme was that Alice and Dumbo are these innocent youths observing, witnessing, experiencing their strange environments. I don't think it's so much about life making sense, but mostly about how life doesn't make sense, especially to a child. Maybe Alice's dream was her subconscious' way of trying to make sense of things going on in her waking life, or some kind of symbolism that life in general, through her eyes or others' eyes, just doesn't make sense a lot of times. Same goes for Dumbo, he's a youth born into a strange environment with a gift he doesn't yet understand, and no one else understands, which makes him all the more confused as to why no one else seems to accept him. It's just youths reacting to a strange world and trying to make sense of what happens to them.
I liked the interaction between Alice and her sister at the end, and how the sister pondered and imagined Alice's dream being real when she is left alone. It has an eerie quality to it, like something is haunting both of the sisters. The idea of suddenly imagining Alice's dream come to life in the settings of everyday life, while I don't think anything in Wonderland is supposed to symbolize anything in waking life, it's still a scary notion to me. It almost reminds me of the ending to a scary story, like just when you thought Alice left all the insanity behind in her dreams, we suddenly discover that Wonderland followed her home, and is now somehow contacting her sister.
I also like that the sister pondered Alice's kind heart and creativity, it's always touching for me to hear when family members accept others just as they are. It kinda reminds me of a piece of flash fiction I wrote about 4 years ago. It's a short story about a mother narrating how she watches her 4-year-old daughter play out in the back yard with imaginary friends and pretending to fight off bad guys in her own little dramas she makes up, and at first being concerned about her daughter being able to discern her fantasy world from reality, but at the end, realizing that her daughter is just creative and young, and will grow, but also has an active imagination that could serve her well later in life. It's called, "My Little Princess." Kinda neat that it sounds like this story had the same idea. :)
You did a wonderful job of clearly presenting the characters of Alice to us, dear Jon! I did not want it to end. I love your quirky sense of humor and your story telling abilities. Please keep the videos coming.
I'M SAD IT'S OVER 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
{Sniff} Thanks for all your hard work, Jon, and Merry Christmas. 🎅
“And the Griffin suggested ‘Turtle Soup.’Think you can guess what that's about?”
I’m guessing it’s about Shredder.
I’ve been waiting for this 🙌🏼
NO EMILY
See, I have never actually read the original version, but have meant to. this was insightful!
I love your show bro. And wow on the first Alice in wonderland episode when you actually explained how much research when into making the series, that is fucking amazing. I know you've mentioned the research part before but after you explained it the last time, it really helped me understand how much goes into making these videos. You put a lot of work in and you fucking awesome at what you do bro, keep it up. #JonShot1st
Jon need’s to get way more recognition. He has relatively few subscribers; which he doesn’t deserve (he needs more). The quality content he makes needs your love. Xx
The 1972 Movie adaptation of Alices adventures in wonderland was one of my favourite films growing up! Theres so really strange and creepy moments but its the best version in my eyes
I don’t know what made you start this channel. But I like it! Good idea - and you’re a good story teller and I love the questions and info no one else talks about!
Another great episode.
Hope your back is better, Jon.
Great videos jon. Keep it up.
I would love to eventually see a messed up orgin of "A classic Called "(The Velveteen Rabbit")
In June 1999, I learned I was pregnant. I had a copy of Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass (both in one book). I read part of the book out loud to my unborn son, then continued after he was born. I actually never got to finish reading it to him; life got in the way. I never saw the animated Disney movie in full. I love the stories as they were in the book! I can't comment on the movies based on it. I DID wonder if the author visited opium dens while writing the story!
Jon, your 'Trial of The Century' one-liner inspired me to try and make a series in some format detailing other Wonderland trials, as a satire of courtroom shows like Judge Judy
Jon, this was your magnum opus thus far. And from here on, you only get better. Kudos to you!!
Sincerely,
A time-traveler from the future
the add of the kid nodding in the sponsor part is amazing XDXD
All of these were great!! I can not wait for Through the Lookinglass. Thanks for all of your hard work!
I looooved all four of these videso!
All your hard work and research is appreciated Jon! This was a cool video, I always wondered who happened to some of his characters that didn’t make it into the movie, it was so long ago that I read the books.
YOU AGAIN
I loved this so much! It was like listening to an audio book with additional notes to understand the context. Love it!
Well done Jon! I've learned so much about my favorite Disney animated films and my favorite fairy tales. May I suggest that you delve into the animated version of Animal Farm? Also perhaps the Film "Song Of The South", which was inspired by Uncle Remus's Tales.
Wow, Dude! Good job. I just watched the whole series back to back. Very interesting!
This was great but I would have liked to have heard some analysis from John, to see what his interpretation of the story is? 😀
Alice in wonderland is the biggest "and then I woke up" moment ever
I loved learning the history of this story! Thank you for reading the story for us haha
That was pretty epic!
Honestly, the most Alice-y thing I've ever really loved was Alice: Madness Returns on PS3. It was a fun game, and my first M-rated game. An M-rated 3-D collectathon platformer magical enough to satisfy my need for un-realism in games? It's brilliant!
I knew a bit more than I think most do about the original Alice in Wonderland…I may or may not have read the original story, but I saw a play based on the original story, and what's more, I do not recall the Disney version, I probably saw it when I was little but I remember nothing about it, so I don't have that clogging my knowledge or memory.
Regardless, I think you've earned a sub from me, Mr. Solo. Going through all your "messed-up origins" videos has been really interesting, and I'm happy that you put in so much effort in your research - I've had a few previously-held beliefs I've had debunked by this series, so it's been a good time! Carry on, good sir!
Wow it’s amazing how the 1985 series stay true to the story where this video is referencing. Dope review.
Great series!!!! Most of us grew up on this movie/story. 👍👍👍🎄🎄🎄🍺🍺🍺🎁🎁🎁
Watching your videos is just like a summarised version of when my mum would tell me stories as a kid. You're my new favourite channel on CZcams man keep it up real good content.
Yes! Great! I was so excited for the finale!
this was really good please do alice through the looking glass
This video series has made me want to read the copy I have even more :)
I know that there is no video on this story, but you should cover The Goose Girl. Truly a weird story worth a read
Awesome story! Excellent rendition! 💯♥️👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I LOVED THIS!!! I learned so very much, and see Alice In Wonderland in a whole new light. Thanks, I am truly a Solo-Fan.
Jon, I absolutely love your messed up origins series, been watching it for a while now. You really do research and know what you're talking about. I think you're doing great, keep up the good work! Hopefully we'll be enjoying this series for a long time to come. Lots of love from the Netherlands
Well done Jon, i love your videos... Speaking about Alice in Wonderland, Im also really curious about the connection between the books and the video games:
American Mcgee's Alice
Alice: Madness Returns
you should give them a try, they are very interesting, in a More Dark and Demonic style of way.
Ugh… I need more content! Do the 90’s live action Alice in Wonderland i use to watch as a kid that had the rabbit on rollerblades! Also do “through the looking glass” book and movie!
Where’s the looking glass and the other ones you mentioned at the end of the video, you promised! Oh well...
Thank you for all the work you put into each story, especially this one. Hope to see Through the Looking Glass sometime in 2019. Have a great Holiday.
I'm loving this video a lot. Thank you.
I’m glad I discovered this mini series after all parts were released. I’ve been watching these back to back! Great content!
after watching these episodes i realized one big thing about u... u look like sheldon cooper!
lol
well, i really enjoyed these episodes so thxs for making me smile and laugh!
my favorite chapter was probaly chapter 1-3
Please do through the looking glass. I really enjoyed this :)
Just recently discovered you and your series! Love it, and glad we can contribute to you living your dreams!
I am eternally grateful to you, Jon! Alice in Wonderland has always fascinated me, and I've heard multiple analyses, but your style of retelling it is far and away the best. Keep it up!
