Non-stop animation is something very difficult to master, and the Czech Republic has given the cinematic world some of the best stop-motion movie creators. One of them, Jan Svankmajer, adapted the original Alice in Wonderland novel. In his dark and surreal version, Alice encounters strange dissected animals, with whom she has to deal with. Doors are opened and closed, magic keys appear from nowhere, Alice shrinks and becomes a doll several times, and dissected animals throw kitchenware to Alice in an attempt to elude her. Fery few dialogue scenes and a lot of action. You get the feeling you are inside a dream, or a nightmare for that matter. Jan Svankmajer presents the most original stop-motion animation films that Europe has to offer.
