Description:
Sometimes she's too big. Or much too small. Sometimes things are backwards. And there's always too much pepper in the soup! Nothing is quite right since Alice chased a very unusual White Rabbit and stumbled into an adventure that grows curiouser and curiouser.
One of the greatest childhood fantasies ever is captured in Irwin Allen's colorful, all-star production adapted from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Steve Allen wrote the jolly, witty songs and more than a dozen Hollywood stars join in the wondrous fun. Alice is looking for a way home. And happy to be welcomed into yours.

Lost in the StarsAug 17, 2010 I remember watching this version of "Alice" back in December of 1985 and feeling about the same way about it as I do now. Irwin Allen had the very best of intentions, but the only real saving grace of this made for TV film is the galaxy of stars who parade in and out. Otherwise it's a dumbed down, Americanized retelling of one of the greatest and most flawless children's books to date.
1985 Alice in WonderlandAug 07, 2010 This movie is truly a classic. It gave me wonderful memories as a child and will do the same for my children. My daughter who is 2 1/2 already is amazed at the Jabberwocky. She's not scare of anything, apparently, because that part scared the crap out of me when I was young! But, all the characters in all their costumes is what makes this movie stand out. So many memorable songs and lines, I love it!
Brings back memories.Jul 24, 2010 I know that as a twelve-year old, when I saw this on TV in 1985, I really liked it. It was never on as frequently as the
animated version was, but there was a time later on it appeared again. My mother laughed and laughed until she just hurt.
She liked this version as well. This one is the one that brings back the memories, for my mother is no longer alive now.
Since the last time I watched this film with my mother, until last year, when we purchased this, I had nearly forgotten
about it. Now with a small family of my own, it is all the more special to me. (My daughter views this one nearly three
times per week.) This is still one of the best Alice films to see.
Alice is the right age and size. So far this area is failing in other versions, excluding the animated one. It stays really
close to the book. The characters are interesting and fascinating, even after all of the years that elapsed in between seeing it last, until owning it on dvd. Nearly everything is following the book. All of the characters are here. A lot of the poems
are included as songs, which is not bothersome to me, because this is one of the first Alice films I recall viewing. I have
to remind myself, that this film is in the 1980's, and for that time I feel that a lot of attention was given to the details.
The poem "Jabberwocky" was given by Alice in part, and then the "Jabberwock with eyes of flame" appeared and "burbled as it
came." Many other such events are here as well. A must for those with children or if you remember this one from the past.
From beginning to ending it is great.
Alice in WonderfulJul 09, 2010 Great movie. My 30 year old daughter has always talked about it from little on and we could never find it anywhere. I decided to check Amazon and was delighted to find it. She was thrilled and is having a blast sharing it with her 4 and 2 year old children. Worth every penny.
AliceJul 04, 2010 I loved this version when I first saw it on tv. I still do. Thank you folks at Amizon for helping to build my Library. Your tops
