Dies und das:

Two of Liddell children who also spent time with Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson) are not mentioned, Alice's older brother Harry and her baby sister Rhoda. Around the time when she met Hargreaves (the man she later married) there was another edition to the family, the last child Violet.

Pannen:

Anachronismus: During the tea dance Jack and Lucy waltz to "I Only Have Eyes For You." The scene is set in 1932, but the song was not written until 1934.

An amazing fictional depiction of Dodgeson & Alice

This is a stunning film, there have been all kinds of rumors and stories about the Rev. Charles Dodgeson and just who he was. This film lovingly and sadly portrays a what-if tale about Alice Liddell, the real Alice, of his famous books and what Victorian society did to her memories of this delightful man. I am not a member of the camp that thinks Dodgeson had a unnatural love for little children I find it preposterous and slanderous to say the least. This movie portrays him brilliantly and Ian Holm is such a superb actor you really feel sad for the lonely man with no wife and children of his own who writes these wonderful tales only to be suspected of unacceptable feelings for the little girl. This movie gives us all that with some wonderfully creepy Wonderland sequences by Hensen's creature shop. Simply marvelous!
