Alice in Wonderland

Summary: Not Really a Review as Such....
Review: I haven't seen any versions of "Alice" that match up with what is in my mind. Disney tried vewwy hard and it is a nice, clinical and somewhat sterile interpretation (with some early celebrity flavor in it, as we would see come to blossom in the 1960's with the movies from "101 Dalmations" on up). However, I am not reviewing that movie, nor THIS! I am putting in a teeny vote for the 1930's (1933, I think...or maybe '35) version, which had (actually, mebbe it was '36?) W.C. Fields, Cary Grant, and some udder people whose names X-Cape me as of this moment.
After all, as the whole piece is highly dependent on rather dreamlike and nonsensical shtuff, I tawt I'd pass dis on to youse all.
Someone should make the 1930's version available on DVD or VHS. I stayed home from school in 1975 to watch this film because I had read so much about it in my books on Cary Grant and also WC Fields [plus some other starz!whoze namez! ezcape!me]). Ok, enough. Suffice to say, the 1930's version was pretty neat, and had many of the best special FX guys of the 30's working on it. Put in a vote for the early 1930's version to be released at least on DVD. I'll write a G-D(goofy-demented) commentary, if I needs must!

Summary: Non-Disney version
Review: Similar, but more kid focused than the Disney version. And a bit closer to the actual book.

The Caucus race song drags on far too long however but my niece is usually glued to the screen during the Mad Hatter's coloring song.

This was done in an Asian lab and has the distinctive animation similar to Heathcliff and other afternoon cartoons.
