This is really cool. The first-ever film version of Lewis’ Carroll’s tale, Alice in Wonderland, has been recently restored and it’s amazing to see how advanced the film was just 8 years after the medium was even created.

Directed by Cecil Hepworth, the film originally had a run-time of 12 minutes, the longest film produced at that time, and starred his wife as the Red Queen, himself as the Frog Footman and the family cat as the Cheshire Cat.
