Humpty Dumpty
If you like this character, let us know!
Humpty Dumpty est un personnage d'une chansonnette anglaise dont la première version imprimée, avec musique, date de 1797. Il dialogue avec Alice dans De l'autre côté du miroir de Lewis Carroll.Selon l'explication du texte la plus admise, il s'agit d'une devinette très ancienne dont la réponse est un œuf, qu'on ne peut reconstituer après qu'il est tombé.
Divers auteurs ont recherché des origines historiques. Selon une théorie, cette chansonnette raillerait le roi Richard III d'Angleterre, bossu (« humpy ») tombé à la bataille de Bosworth qui mit fin à la Guerre des Deux-Roses en 1485. D'autres évoquent, soit une machine de guerre durant le siège de Gloucester, soit un gros canon dans la ville de Colchester qui seraient tombés d'un mur où ils étaient en batterie pendant la guerre civile de 1643. Aucun dossier conséquent ne relie les faits historiques à la comptine ; les critiques de ces ingénieuses constructions n'ont pas manqué de souligner leurs failles.

Puss in Boots is a talking cat named for his wearing boots and is a fugitive on the run from the law, looking to restore his lost honour. He learns that the outlaw couple Jack and Jill have the magic beans he's been looking for most of his life, beans that can lead him to a giant's castle holding valuable golden goose eggs. When Puss tries to steal them from the outlaws' room, female cat Kitty Softpaws interrupts, and both fail. Kitty is allied with Humpty Alexander Dumpty, a talking egg and Puss' long-estranged childhood friend from the orphanage where he was raised. Puss tells Kitty his origin story and of his feelings of betrayal for a youthful misadventure when Humpty tricked Puss into helping commit a bank robbery in his hometown of San Ricardo; Puss has been on the run since. Humpty convinces Puss to join them in finding the beans and retrieving the golden eggs.

The first part opens with Alice (Natalie Gregory) helping Mother (Sheilla Allen) set the table for tea time. Although thankful for her daughter's help, Mother tells Alice that she is still not grown-up enough to join the adults at tea. Alice goes outside to see her sister (played by Gregory's real-life older sister Sharee Gregory), but gets bored of reading a book with no pictures. Her sister tells her that she will understand when she grows up, but Alice thinks she is already grown up (after all, she's seven and a half).
