The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland or when the world of Alice in Wonderland meets that of Saint-Nicolas
From the bestseller written by Carys Bexingtonillustrated by Kate Hindley and published by the editions Macmillan, The Night Before Christmas in Wonderland mixes two classic tales: Alice in Wonderland of Lewis Carroll and the poem of Clement Clarke Moore It was the Night before Christmas (also known as The Visit of Saint Nicholas). Here is the trailer for its animated adaptation.
In the film, Saint Nicholas receives a late letter from the Princess of Hearts on Christmas Eve. He and his team of devoted reindeer travel to Wonderland, where they are greeted by the evil and miserable Queen of Hearts, who hates everything about Christmas… especially presents! Can Saint Nicholas, aided by Alice, the Mad Hatter and the March Hare, show the Queen the true meaning of Christmas and save the day before it’s too late?
The voice cast features Gerard Butler (300) in the role of Saint Nicholas, Emilia Clarke (Game of Thrones) in that of the Princess of Hearts and Simone Ashley (The Bridgerton Chronicles) who plays the role of Alice.
This film was directed by Peter Baynton(The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse) which won the Oscar for best animated short film as well as the BAFTA for best British animated short film in 2023. Sara Daddy adapted the book into a screenplay. The film features original music and songs written by Guy Chamberslong-time collaborator of Robbie Williams and by the composer Amy WadgeGrammy Award winner.
