It's here! It's here! It's finally here! After nearly a year of waiting, Tim Burton's take on Alice in Wonderland is finally making its theatrical debut this weekend. The film, starring Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham-Carter, Anne Hathaway, Alan Rickman and newcomer Mia Wasikowska as Alice, has gained an extremely high amount of publicity by releasing competitive Facebook fan pages, extended trailers, unofficial soundtracks and high-quality preview images.

So now, it's time to see if all this waiting was worth it.
In honor of this momentous occasion, check out this vintage video of the very first film-version of Alice in Wonderland - from 1903, only eight years after the birth of cinema. The original novel was written by Lewis Carroll in 1866. Yes, this story is over a century and a half old. Incredible.
