Lenny's description:


Amazon.com:
The king of 1970s disaster movies, producer Irwin Allen, brought together novelist Paul Zindel, songwriter Steve Allen, and a host of celebrities for a pair of 1985 TV movies paying homage to Lewis Carroll's Alice. In this first installment, the 7-year-old girl dreams of being grown up enough to join the adults for tea, only to shrink to miniature size, climb through a hole beneath the door, and follow a twitchy Red Buttons in big white rabbit ears. Whether arguing with the Mad Hatter (Anthony Newley), or trying to keep her head in the company of the Queen of Hearts (Jayne Meadows), Alice is constantly running into a host of '70s and '80s personalities like Telly Savalas, Ringo Starr, Scott Baio, and Shelley Winters. If this roster isn't enough to make a poor girl trippy, she also meets up with Sammy Davis Jr. as the caterpillar, and the pair perform an entertaining hip-hop-esque tap number to "Father William." An enjoyably campy version of Alice's wondrous journey, it features detailed sets, marvelously tacky costumes, and mildly clever musical numbers. This 90-minute TV movie's pleasant goofiness will amuse children 4 and older as well as nostalgically minded adults. The TV movie has been broken into two parts on video with Alice Through the Looking Glass picking up where this one leaves off. --Kimberly Heinrichs

Rating: - Excellent Movie
I loved watching this movie as a child. We recorded it off of tv on a VHS tape, but the first 1/2 hour was missing. It is so awesome to have this on DVD and be able to someday introduce my own children to the songs and lovely characters and performers featured in this movie!!!

I really enjoy this version of Alice in Wonderland. It's got the creepy feel but also had a musical side to it to kinda break up the drama rollercoaster. The costumes are great and the set is very fantastical and fun to watch. I highly recommend it!

Rating: - Great Movie
This was my favorite movie as a child. I watched it everyday. My parents had recorded it on VCR for me off the television. I wore it out. I recently found the tape and let my daughter watch it. It was so old that the tape broke so I found it online and bought the DVD. There are MANY great actors and actresses featured in this film. It's a wonderful version of the story. Lots of singing. My favorite parts were when Alice would eat or drink and get larger and smaller. I remember pretending I was her and eating Little Debbie cakes while watching the film when I was a kid. My daughter loves it as much as I did.

Rating: - Alice
I have loved this version of Alice in Wonderland since I first saw it! I can't believe I actually found it! I only had one problem and it wasn't Amazon's fault...I paid extra for UPS shipping, and UPS gave it to the post office. I was not happy about that. If I had wanted to recieve it in the mail I would have paid USPS shipping, it was cheaper.
