One of my dear friends has just left the country for an extended adventure in Europe. This scene from Alice in Wonderland with the smoking pompous caterpillar reminds me of him (hee in a nice way!) – I hope that he’ll make it to Morocco or Turkey and see grand bazaars full of colourful pipes and rugs.
I also couldn’t resist the darkly beautiful animation of the clip – it’s playful and has depth that just isn’t seen in modern offerings. It makes me want to get out all the Disney classics! If animation isn’t your thing but you still love Alice, have a peep at the Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers – Don’t Come Around Here No More video. A mid-eighties delight.
