Willard appears as the Mad Hatter, though something about the image is wrong, as the Mad Hatter seems deeply disturbed rather than being his nonsensical self.
Even so, Alice quickly realizes that she is the only one who can see the Queen of Hearts in the picture. Pogysdunhow - who'd posed specifically for a portrait - instead depicts the Queen of Hearts. At the same time, Alice's elder sister, Mathilda, continuously attempts to pair her with one Richard Coney, an associate of Mathilda's partner, Corwin Hedstruth, working for Gilbert Ramsbottom's ongoing political race to become mayor of Kexford.ĭeveloping her pictures, Alice finds that, rather than depicting Mrs. Willard's haberdashery, where she is reminded of the Mad Hatter. During their interaction, Katz advises Alice to keep sweets on her person at all times, in case of emergency, and asks that she visit him again. One day, while photographing the refugee children in the square, Alice meets a barrister named Abraham Joseph Katz, who is the son of refugees and spends much of his time looking out for other refugees. Alice's aunt, Vivian, supports Alice in her endeavors and provides her with a camera after Alice proved to be lacking in artistic talent. Longing to experience Wonderland again, a now 18 year old Alice spends much of her time seeking things that remind her of Wonderland. Returning to the place of nonsense from her childhood, Alice finds herself on a mission to stop the Queen of Hearts' tyrannical rule and to find her place in both worlds. And as Alice develops a self-portrait, she finds the most disturbing image of all-a badly-injured dark-haired girl asking for Alice's help. She's also interested in learning more about the young lawyer she met there, but just because she's curious, of course, not because he was sweet and charming.īut when Alice develops photographs she has recently taken about town, familiar faces of old suddenly appear in the place of her actual subjects – the Queen of Hearts, the Mad Hatter, even the Caterpillar! There's something eerily off about them, even for Wonderland creatures. Alice is happy to meander to Miss Yao's teashop or to visit the children playing in the Square.
She'd rather spend golden afternoons with her trusty camera or in her aunt Vivian's lively salon, ignoring her sister's wishes that she stop all that "nonsense" and become a "respectable" member of society. What if Wonderland was in peril and Alice was very, very late?Īlice is different than other eighteen-year-old ladies in Kexford, which is perfectly fine with her. It is based on the Disney animated classic, Alice in Wonderland. A couple fight scenes where blood is shed and a villain gets violently killed, but nothing graphic.Go the Distance Source Unbirthday is the tenth instalment in the Disney book series, A Twisted Tale (Book Series). 1-2 mild swears and 1 stronger swear word. I liked the way this story provides more background and motivation for some of the actions of the Disney characters. It also raises some intriguing questions: Was the enchantress justified in cursing the young prince? How did the servants feel about being transformed along with their master? Can provincial peasants find a place for magic in their lives? I’m a huge fan of well-written “fractured fairy tales,” and this book’s rich language and lively descriptions kept me turning the pages from beginning to the end! Encouraged by selfish and close-minded rulers, the non-magic townsfolk start persecuting those who are in any way “enchanted.” The enchantress must leave to protect herself and her family, but she wants to find out if the young prince is different from his cold-hearted parents. But the tiny kingdom where they live, once so welcoming to all magical creatures, begins to grow distrustful. Meanwhile, in alternating chapters, we learn the enchantress’ backstory. She fell in love with the inventor Maurice and they married and had a daughter.
#Disney a twisted tale story movie
Much of the dialogue from the Disney movie is used, but there are interesting deviations and insightful additions that really add to the characters. Together, logical Belle and the earnest Beast piece together how they are connected and look for a way to break the curse. But in this version, Belle quickly learns of the enchantress’ curse and discovers that it was cast by her own mother, magically forgotten by her family and community. Just like in the animated movie, a beautiful book-loving girl offers herself up as prisoner to a horrible beast, who is master of an enchanted castle. This is the premise of a delightful twist on the Disney version of Beauty and the Beast.
