00:00One fine afternoon, Alice was in the garden, looking at the flowers. It was a warm day, and she grew sleepy.
00:11Suddenly, a rabbit crossed right in front of her eyes. A white rabbit, wearing a vest and carrying a watch on a chain.
00:25Oh me, oh my, I'm terribly late, said the white rabbit as he scurried along. What on earth was happening?
00:34Alice jumped up and followed the white rabbit.
00:38Mr. Rabbit, oh Mr. Rabbit, wait, wait, where are you running to so fast?
00:45She chased him all the way into the forest, whereupon, she fell into a deep hole, very deep and very dark and apparently endless.
00:59Oh my, I'm going to fall right down to the other side of the earth, or so she thought.
01:09Just then, she landed at the bottom. It was a large room with doors all over.
01:15The white rabbit went out one of the doors. When Alice looked through the door, she saw, in the distance, a fountain in an exquisite garden.
01:25Alice tried to follow, but the door was simply too small for her to pass through.
01:31Saddened, Alice began to weep. Her tears filled the room and became an ocean. She almost drowned.
01:41She swam on the ocean of tears and eventually reached shore. There she found many animals who had also swum there, drying themselves in the sun.
01:50There was a duck and an eagle and a dodo.
01:54Just then, Alice saw the white rabbit disappear into a mysterious forest.
01:59I have to follow that white rabbit!
02:02She said and did so, into the mysterious forest of a mysterious land.
02:08She followed the white rabbit all the way back to his home.
02:13Oh my, my, my, I've lost my gloves. If I don't hurry, I'll be dreadfully late.
02:18The rabbit was agitated indeed.
02:21I'll help you look for them.
02:24Alice entered the rabbit's home. In the first room she entered, she found a box of cookies marked, Eat Me.
02:34It says eat, so I'm going to eat them.
02:40And eat them she did, whereupon...
02:43Oh dear! Alice began to grow bigger and bigger and bigger. Soon she was so big she couldn't get out of the house.
02:52What should I do now?
02:54So Alice tried a different cookie.
02:57This one made her smaller and smaller and smaller, until at last she was barely seven centimeters tall.
03:05Now I'm smaller than a rat!
03:08As she chased it, Alice heard it say...
03:11Now I will be late. Oh no, must hurry, hurry, hurry!
03:15And off it ran, in a very great hurry indeed.
03:19Mr. Rabbit, wait! Where are you going? Where are you going?
03:24Alice gave chase, but the seven centimeter tall girl could hardly catch up.
03:30Eventually, she became lost in the mysterious forest, and she so wanted to return to that beautiful garden.
03:39Suddenly, she heard someone singing a strange song.
03:45She went to look, and saw a caterpillar sitting on a mushroom.
03:51Please tell me, which way should I go?
03:54Asked Alice of the caterpillar.
04:00The caterpillar made no answer, but merely continued to talk nonsense.
04:05Then it said something important.
04:09Alice accordingly ate the left side of a mushroom.
04:15And she grew bigger, regaining her original size.
04:21Which way should I go, I wonder?
04:23Thus, she wandered in the woods.
04:26Her next encounter was with a Cheshire cat, perched on a tree.
04:32Huge, striped like a tiger, and grinning broadly, very like a person.
04:37Please, Mr. Cheshire cat, which way should I go?
04:40The Cheshire cat replied.
04:42To the left, where the Mad Hatter lives. To the right, the March Hare.
04:46But really, they're both a little, shall we say, off.
04:50Alice was perplexed, but she had to go.
04:54The Cheshire cat said,
04:57In the Mad Hatter's garden, there was a large tree,
05:00beneath which the Mad Hatter and the March Hare were having a tea party.
05:05Seated between them was a Dormouse.
05:08Hoping to be included in the tea party, Alice approached.
05:12The Dormouse said,
05:14Please, Mr. Cheshire cat, which way should I go?
05:17To the left, where the Mad Hatter lives. To the right, the March Hare.
05:22Seated between them was a Dormouse.
05:25Hoping to be included in the tea party, Alice approached.
05:29But when the Mad Hatter consulted his watch,
05:33Ah! Oh, no!
05:35What's the matter?
05:37asked Alice.
05:39My watch! It's two days late!
05:42he cried and immediately disassembled his watch.
05:46To repair it, one might have thought,
05:49He also tried to cram the Dormouse into the teapot.
05:53Mad indeed was the Hatter!
05:56Ah! This is insane!
05:58I've had enough of this completely mad tea party!
06:01I can't stand this!
06:03And off went Alice once again to find the beautiful garden.
06:08In the forest, she came across a tree with a strange door in it.
06:13She entered, and there,
06:17in front of her eyes, that exquisite garden.
06:21The spectacular fountain, the many splendid flowers.
06:25Truly a magnificent garden.
06:28She saw three playing cards.
06:30The gardeners, mightily busy, painting white roses red.
06:35We planted white roses instead of red by mistake.
06:38If the Queen finds out, we'll be in terrible trouble.
06:43Just then, up came a grand procession of card soldiers,
06:47escorting the Queen.
06:51Gazing at the roses, she realized that they were originally white.
06:56Those three gardeners, off with their heads!
07:00In this land, anything the Queen disliked was a capital offense.
07:06Then, the Queen noticed Alice.
07:09Petite fille, peux-tu jouer au croquet?
07:12Bien, oui, je peux, Votre Majesté.
07:15Alice's reply was properly polite.
07:18If she offended the Queen, who knows what might happen.
07:23In fact, this was Alice's first game of croquet, and she played poorly.
07:28Understandable, since the mallets were flamingos, and the balls, hedgehogs.
07:33Everyone tried their hardest to please the Queen.
07:36If she was displeased in the slightest, it was off with his head.
07:40Soon she tired of croquet.
07:43Time for the trial. The defendant is Alice.
07:48Said the Queen of Hearts. Alice was shocked.
07:51But I haven't done anything wrong.
07:54Said Alice, but no one listened to her.
07:59It was that Alice who ate my tarts. No question at all.
08:04I don't know anything about it. Why, this cart is a fraud.
08:08What are you saying? Off with her head, and be quick about it.
08:13Cried the Queen of Hearts.
08:15The card soldiers rushed at Alice, trying to catch her.
08:20Their numbers were many, their faces fierce. Alice ran for her life.
08:25She ate the last bite of mushroom.
08:28Whereupon, Alice grew gigantic. They were all shocked.
08:33I'm not afraid of you. You're nothing but a pack of cards.
08:37Alice was now so huge, she knocked them all flat, one or more at a time.
08:43But suddenly Alice began to shrink again,
08:46until soon she was the same little girl she had been moments earlier.
08:51Now catch that girl, and behead her.
08:56The Queen of Hearts and the hordes of spear-carrying card soldiers charged after Alice.
09:01Alice ran for her life.
09:03But finally, they had her surrounded at last.
09:10She was done for. And so it seemed.
09:14And then,
09:19she woke up.
09:22Alice had fallen asleep in her own garden.
09:26Her elder sister was calling out,
09:28It's tea time!
09:30And that was the end of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
