I just stumbled over a specific irony of the CTEA. The 1951 Disney
adaptation of Alice in Wonderland (it's beloved, but IMHO a hatchet job,
no flames please... it's just my opinion) would have not be possible
without Charles Dodgson's estates approval. Given the general
unfaithfulness of the screen adaptation vs. the book this permission
might have been difficult.
Are there any other specific ironies like that? Anybody done a survey?
