Ironically, the Most Strangest Part of the Entire World that we all live in is that while Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" is so widely popular than Charles Kingsley's "The Water Babies", Kingsley actually had influenced Carroll's BFF (George MacDonald) which lead to many inspirations behind Many Authors that we all know of today like C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and even Madeleine L'Engle.

Just let that sink and rot in your Brain for a Moment, Literature Fans.

Considering that you're another Ocean Fan, have you ever heard of Charles Kingsley's "The Water Babies" before?

There's a Live-Action/Animated Hybrid Adaptation from the 70s in case if you're interested.

I’ve read the book. It was weird but kinda cute. Might check out the 70s adaptation. Live action/Animated hybrids were all the rage in the 60s-70s it seems.

Thanks!

One of The Most Underrated Non-Disney Movies that I saw long ago in my Childhood. Given the fact that I haven't watched this film is so long ever since I've grown, I showed this Movie to my Parents and they actually really liked it. Although despite myself not reading the Original Book that the Movie was based on, but I have heard of the Racism behind the Original Story itself and how it was against Irish, Americans, Jews, and even Catholics (shame that the Original Story and its Concept felt Interesting despite some Old Stories having some controversial tones). Here we have is Tom (The Main Protagonist of this Story) and Toby (his Dog) swimming with their Sea Creature Friends (Claude The Swordfish, Jock The Lobster, and Terence The Seahorse). The Water Babies (c) Charles Kingsley
