ALICE IN THE WOOLY WEST

This title, together with three other Alice films, forms the concert programme ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND.

“Then came one of those picture-poetic creations, ‘Alice and the Wild West Bandits’, for which the designation ‘animated film’ is far too trivial and which today are perhaps the most fundamentally interesting, future-oriented film genre of all. The grotesque visions of the cartoon artist, born of a new kind of creative imagination, merged with Paul Dessau’s original music to form a unified, highly delightful treat.” (Hans Wollenberg, Lichtbild-Bühne, No. 252, 19. 10. 1928, quoted from: Paul Dessau. FilmMaterialien 6, edited by Hans-Michael Bock and Wolfgang Jacobsen.- Schriftenreihe der CineGraph – Hamburgisches Centrum für Filmforschung e.V., Hamburg, Berlin 1994, p. 35)

The Bear and his gang rob a stagecoach, but Julius rescues Alice when she is about to be kidnapped by the gang.
