Although there are multiple interpretations of the story, the widely known Disney animated movie, Alice in Wonderland, is what I believe catapulted Carroll’s novel. It was released in 1951, directed by Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, and Hamilton Luske and starring Kathryn Beaumont as Alice, Ed Wynn as the Mad Hatter, and Richard Haydn as the Caterpillar.

Another popular movie that was just released in 2010 is the movie, Alice in Wonderland, directed by Tim Burton. The stars of this movie included Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Mia Wasikowska as Alice, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, and Helen Bonham Carter as the Red Queen. Apart from all other interpretations, this movie, however, has more computer animated and live action scenes. Also this movie has a combination of ideas from Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. Also, the SyFy channel also showed their own TV miniseries by taking the idea of Alice in Wonderland further. Many of the same characters are present such as Alice played by Caterina Scorsone, Mad Hatter played by Andrew Lee Potts, and the Queen of Hearts played by Kathy Bates. (InternetMovieDataBase)
Apart from movies and TV series, there are also artists who have been inspired by the novel and the films to create unique art. For example, here are some images of a Russian photographer, Elena Kalis, who has taken her ideas one step further. (Lapointe)
