The Other Walrus and the Carpenter


Alice in Wonderland is one of those books that has been adapted many times for film. Paramount released a live action version in 1933 with an incredible cast: Gary Cooper, Cary Grant, Jack Oakie, W.C. Fields, etc. For all the star power, the film is not very good.

The Walrus and the Carpenter segment in the film is animated, produced by Hugh Harman and Rudy Ising.  It's also not particularly good, but it is somewhat rare and the film is going to be on Turner Classic Movies on Friday, May 3 at 8 p.m. Eastern time.

The whole film is a curio, but if you haven't seen it, it's worth watching once.

I wonder why, if it was a Paramount picture, the animation was by Harman & Ising and not by the Fleischers.

Jeg lurer på hvorfor, om det var en Paramount bilde, animasjon av Harman & Ising og ikke av Fleischers.
