Catniptoy Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Alice in Wonderland (the cartoon) has just started playing on Toon Disney, if you get that channel. I thought I'd mention it, as the theme of this year's BB is (M)Alice in Wonderland, so some of the competitions will have that theme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catniptoy Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 You're welcome! They are also replaying it tomorrow at 9 a.m. Eastern, on the same channel, in case you miss it today, or want to record it. A man actually wrote Alice In Wonderland, so it's not really a girl's story, although a girl is the central character. I think they chose that theme because it's about things not really being as they seem, it's about entering a strange world where everything is topsy-turvy. Plus, they were able to have a lot of psychadelic visual effects in the house. I had expected some of the guests to think the theme was silly, but they seem to enjoy it. Dick was talking a lot about it last night, comparing people to the characters in the book. He feels Daniele is like Alice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CynicalWench Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Which made this the most interesting BB ever. Though I haven't been quite sure who is who. And sorry if this topic is here but I didn't see it. Obviously Dani is Alice, Dick is the mad hatter, Kail the Queen of hearts, Eric the rabbit or, maybe Amber since she is emotional all the time, hmmm maybe Dick should be the Cheshire cat. I could be totally wrong but think I am not oh and Joe and Dustin as Tweedle Dee and Dum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBinSavannah Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 With that stupid grin, I would think Zach could be the Cheshire cat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmen Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Didn't Dick refer to Eric as the "white rabbit." Does that mean the houseguests know about being cast as characters from Alice in Wonderland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjcs Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 WARNING!! LONG POST!!! okay this is a little long but copying and pasting from wiki. Just to dispell the drug similarities people like to attach to Alice in Wonderland :-) History Alice was first published on 4 July 1865, exactly three years after the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson and the Reverend Robinson Duckworth rowed in a boat up the River Thames with three little girls:[1] Lorina Charlotte Liddell (aged 13) ("Prima" in the book's prefatory verse) Alice Pleasance Liddell (aged 10) ("Secunda" in the prefatory verse) Edith Mary Liddell (aged 8) ("Tertia" in the prefatory verse) Facsimile page from Alice's Adventures Under GroundThe journey had started at Folly Bridge near Oxford, England and ended five miles away in the village of Godstow. To while away time the Reverend Dodgson told the girls a story that, not so coincidentally, featured a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure. The girls loved it, and Alice Liddell asked Dodgson to write it down for her. He eventually did so and on 26 November 1864 gave Alice the manuscript of Alice's Adventures Under Ground. Some, including Martin Gardner, speculate there was an earlier version that was destroyed later by Dodgson himself when he printed a more elaborate copy by hand (Gardner, 1965), but there is no real evidence to support this. According to Dodgson's diaries, in the spring of 1863 he gave the unfinished manuscript of Alice's Adventures Under Ground to his friend and mentor George MacDonald, whose children loved it. On MacDonald's advice, Dodgson decided to submit Alice for publication. Before he had even finished the manuscript for Alice Liddell he was already expanding the 18,000-word original to 35,000 words, most notably adding the episodes about the Cheshire Cat and the Mad Tea-Party. In 1865, Dodgson's tale was published as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by "Lewis Carroll" with illustrations by John Tenniel. The first print run of 2,000 was destroyed because Tenniel had objections over the print quality. (Only 23 copies are known to have survived; 18 are owned by major archives or libraries, such as the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center, while the other five are held in private hands.) A new edition, released in December of the same year but carrying an 1866 date, was quickly printed. The entire print run sold out quickly. Alice was a publishing sensation, beloved by children and adults alike. Among its first avid readers were young Oscar Wilde and Queen Victoria. The book has never been out of print. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland has been translated into 125 languages, including Esperanto and Faroese. There have now been over a hundred editions of the book, as well as countless adaptations in other media, especially theatre and film Misconception of characters Although Tweedledee, Tweedledum, Humpty Dumpty, and the Jabberwock are often thought to be characters in Alice in Wonderland, they are actually all in the later sequels to the story, and were never featured in the original. The term "Wonderland", from the title, has entered the language and refers to a marvelous imaginary place, or else a real-world place that one perceives to have dream like qualities. It, like much of the Alice work, is widely referenced in popular culture. The White Rabbit."Down the Rabbit-Hole", the Chapter 1 title, has become a popular term for going on an adventure into the unknown. In computer gaming, a "rabbit hole" may refer to the initiating element that drives the player to enter the game. In drug culture, "going down the rabbit hole" is a metaphor for taking drugs. In Chapter 6, the Cheshire Cat's disappearance prompts Alice to say one of her most memorable lines: "...a grin without a cat! It's the most curious thing I ever saw in all my life!" In Chapter 7, the Hatter gives his famous riddle without an answer: "Why is a raven like a writing desk?" Although Carroll intended the riddle to have no solution, in a new preface to the 1896 edition of Alice, he proposes several answers: "Because it can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is nevar put with the wrong end in front!" (Note the spelling of "never" as "nevar" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjcs Posted July 31, 2007 Share Posted July 31, 2007 Your welcome :-). Alice in Wonderland is a beautiful classic and far too often associated with drug use. Which is so far from true!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
