Are we ever getting a full-blown adaptation of Alice in Wonderland by SHAFT? I mean, imagine the possibilities.

Because Lewis Carroll was a pedo.

The fact that lots of fun can simply be had with the Wonderland setting aside, it's because taking an adorable little girl and putting hr into a position where she's confused and in just a little bit of danger is not only cute, but also slightly arousing.
>>
>>133575442
Do it for her.
>>
>>133573567
I believe it was the first exposure for the masses to the blonde loli archetype and that's the reason why you see many blonde character named Alice.
Elites already came to know loli with Nabokov's Lolita novel.

>>133574310
An anon said he was going to scan it months ago.
Alternatively you can buy it, it's 16€ here.

>For those who wish to map the contours of the don's desires, both his public, and more especially his voluminous private, writings provide acres and acres of relevant territory. Letter after letter, journal upon journal, dedicatory poem and book inscription bear witness to Carroll's ceaseless pursuit of juvenile feminine company. ... Is it innocent? Is it sexual? -Robson, C., Men in Wonderland: The Lost Girlhood of the Victorian Gentlemen

>We cannot know to what extent sexual urges lay behind Charles's preference for drawing and photographing children in the nude. He contended the preference was entirely aesthetic. But given his emotional attachment to children as well as his aesthetic appreciation of their forms, his assertion that his interest was strictly artistic is naïve. He probably felt more than he dared acknowledge, even to himself. -Cohen, M., Lewis Carroll: A Biography
The original cute not pedo.

Of course I can fucking buy it, the point is to get it without paying and without having to look the postman in the eye when he delivers "the classic of literature".

Why would the postman know what is inside your package?

>>133575500
So in short everyone gets a hard-on for seeing Alice run around being cute and in danger?

Pretty sure Alice in Wonderland predates Lolita by decades.

Even with her original oversized head, she was always more moe than Dorothy or Wendy.

You're right, sorry, I was thinking about the movie who was released much later.

I never said I didn't like it, though. In fact, I'd say it's quite the opposite.

>>133573567
They don't, pretty sure it's just they the way she was depicted in that illustrated version of the novel (released this year (?)) cute so pixiv users have been doing fan art of her. Not sure if they care for the story itself so much.

Oh, then all is good now.

Little girls having wacky adventures in wierd places its a staple in western literature.

Alice, Dorothy, Wendy, Lolita. It's the western equivalece to mahou shoujo.

Btw, which one is best girl?
Alice or Dorothy?

>>133580587
Alice, no doubt. She remind me of myself when I was a tiny ant. Good times.

A lot of lolita dresses released in the early 2000s were Alice themed, so I don't think it's a new thing.

Sometimes publishers use anime artwork on book covers. It's just the book itself, but they use the artwork to get people interested.

Well, she's a Japanese girl called Arisu who was a fan of Alice, rather than actually Alice.
>>
>>133584633
Fair enough. I don't know if the dress she wore allowed clear pantyshots like that, though.

Growing up as a fan of Oz and Alice in Wonderland I made that realization long ago when CLAMP was making Alice references in CCS.

well now I feel dumb as hell since Ive read all 10 some Oz books and wrote papers in college on Carroll. And Magical Girl is my favorite genre of anime.

It all makes sense now.
>>
>>133585806
Can you really say she wasn't in danger with that whole beheading thing?

Although, you could argue that it was all a dream.
