Alice in Wonderland

Recently, just a few days ago, I watched Alice in Wonderland (the classic cartoon) on the Disney Channel. I was really excited to finally watch it again after all these years! Though I can’t remember when was the last time I watched it, but it felt like ages ago anyway. Love it Love it Love it to the maxxxxxx!!!
Gosh, how I missed watching that cartoon. Missed the creative imagination of it all, the way lessons can be learnt through all that madness of the characters, the way she eats one piece of shit then shrinks and then eats another piece of shit then grows larger. AHAHA, *sigh* brings back good old memories.

My favourite part would be the part whereby Tweedledee and Tweedledum tells
Alice about the story of the Walrus and the Carpenter. Ehehe, no idea why, but I JUST LOVE THAT PART! I guess the oysters were really cute, their lil feet were cute, the hut that was made in an instant by the Carpenter was really cute, and not to mention the tears coming out from the walrus that ate all those little oysters were cute too! Basically, it’s a very cute story….ehehe.
I also loved the part where the caterpillar was singing “A, E, I ,O ,U”. Ehehehe, pretty funny that one. Then soon memories of myself when I was younger wanting to smoke came upon me just because the way the caterpillar smoked was really F-U-N! Gosh, what a bad influence on us lil kids.




OOOOOO, almost forgetting the Mad-Hatter. LOVE that part too! “Clean cup , clean cup, clean cuuuuuuupppp!”. They’re just so MAD I could just eat them up. Annoying little buggers.



Anyways, here’s the script of the Walrus and the Carpenter….
*sings* “of cabbagesss, and kinggsssss!” *sings*

The Walrus and The Carpenter
Lewis Carroll (from Through the Looking-Glass and What AliceFound There, 1872)


The sun was shining on the sea, Shining with all his might: He did his very best to make The billows smooth and bright- And this was odd, because it was The middle of the night.
The moon was shining sulkily, Because she thought the sun Had got no business to be there After the day was done--"It's very rude of him," she said,"To come and spoil the fun!"
The sea was wet as wet could be, The sands were dry as dry. You could not see a cloud, because No cloud was in the sky: No birds were flying overhead-- There were no birds to fly.
The Walrus and the Carpenter Were walking close at hand; They wept like anything to see Such quantities of sand:"If this were only cleared away," They said, "it would be grand!"
"If seven maids with seven mops Swept it for half a year. Do you suppose," the Walrus said, "That they could get it clear?""I doubt it," said the Carpenter, And shed a bitter tear.
"O Oysters, come and walk with us!" The Walrus did beseech."A pleasant walk, a pleasant talk, Along the briny beach: We cannot do with more than four, To give a hand to each."
The eldest Oyster looked at him, But never a word he said: The eldest Oyster winked his eye, And shook his heavy head-- Meaning to say he did not choose To leave the oyster-bed.
But four young Oysters hurried up, All eager for the treat: Their coats were brushed, their faces washed, Their shoes were clean and neat-- And this was odd, because, you know, They hadn't any feet.
Four other Oysters followed them, And yet another four; And thick and fast they came at last, And more, and more, and more-- All hopping through the frothy waves, And scrambling to the shore.
The Walrus and the Carpenter Walked on a mile or so, And then they rested on a rock Conveniently low: And all the little Oysters stood And waited in a row.
"The time has come," the Walrus said, "To talk of many things: Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax-- Of cabbages--and kings-- And why the sea is boiling hot-- And whether pigs have wings."
"But wait a bit," the Oysters cried, "Before we have our chat; For some of us are out of breath, And all of us are fat!""No hurry!" said the Carpenter. They thanked him much for that.
"A loaf of bread," the Walrus said,"Is what we chiefly need: Pepper and vinegar besides Are very good indeed-- Now if you're ready, Oysters dear, We can begin to feed."
"But not on us!" the Oysters cried, Turning a little blue."After such kindness, that would be A dismal thing to do!""The night is fine," the Walrus said. "Do you admire the view?
"It was so kind of you to come! And you are very nice!" The Carpenter said nothing but"Cut us another slice: I wish you were not quite so deaf-- I've had to ask you twice!"
"It seems a shame," the Walrus said,"To play them such a trick, After we've brought them out so far, And made them trot so quick!" The Carpenter said nothing but"The butter's spread too thick!"
"I weep for you," the Walrus said:"I deeply sympathize." With sobs and tears he sorted out Those of the largest size, Holding his pocket-handkerchief Before his streaming eyes.
"O Oysters," said the Carpenter, "You've had a pleasant run! Shall we be trotting home again?' But answer came there none-- And this was scarcely odd, because They'd eaten every one.
