As the title suggests I want you to list your three favourite adaptations of the character you like the most from the books. Of course the best version of any of the characters is the original book versions but this is your three favourite ADAPTATIONS. I think that makes sense? Why of course it does!
Here's an example... as you all should know by now; my favourite character is the Caterpillar...
1. "Mr. Caterpillar" from Disney's Alice in Wonderland [1951]
Perfect adaptation of the character in my opinion... I might be slightly biased because I actually watched the Disney movie before reading the books. Infact I fell in love with the character because of the Disney version... reading the book made me love the Caterpillar even more. The scene actually follows the book quite well; a few things are swapped around. From reading the Caterpillar scene in the book and then watching the scene from the movie; I think they got the rather unusual personality of the Caterpillar done very well indeed. Not to mention his voice is epic; especially his over-enuciation of words.
2. "Caterpillar" from American McGee's Alice and Alice: Madness Returns
I dunno; I just love the McGee's version of the Caterpillar. In the original game he was a very important character as he played the role of the Oracle; and knew exacticially what Alice had to do to save Wonderland... even if he wasn't that forth-coming with all the facts. He has the cutest little fez too. The sequel just made me like him more; he seems to have some rather amazing powers... making smoke vents appear and using the smoke to float platforms all so Alice can get through the corrupted Vale of Tears... oh and his smoke seemed to be protecting that one area of the Vale from the corruption too. Lets not mention he can shrink Alice with smoke, talk into her mind and can create portals [first game]. Add the fact he's the Oracle and it seems Caterpillar in this adaptation has some epic skillz as it were. I also love the fact he's so darn wise.
3. "Absolem" from Alice in Wonderland [2010]
Awww... Absolem is just adorable. Not my favourite movie of AiW but I do love Absolem a lot. First off he's based on a Monarch Butterfly Caterpillar... which in my opinion is the CUTEST Caterpillar around... seriously look them up if you don't know what they look like... they're just darling. Secondly he wears a monocle... hehe. And thirdly again he's got an important role; this time the guardian of the Oraculum [what is it with Caterpillars and Oracles?]. I wasn't sure about them actually giving a name to the Caterpillar... but I think Absolem suits him very well. Yep.
Okay... now either tell me your favourite adaptations or you can discuss my choices... or anyone elses who posts in the thread.
