Alice in Wonderland movie from 1985. Now finally available on DVD: Harry Harris's T.V. movie with the famous guest stars.
A well known version that many people are searching for.
It consist of two parts: Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass, which are both included on this dvd.

1999. This version of Lewis Carroll's story was originally produced for NBC-TV.
It also contains elements from 'Through the Looking Glass' (which are mixed up with those from 'Alice's Adventures...').
The storyline is not very true to the books, but the film has some great special effects, many dealing with multiple perspectives as Alice constantly changes sizes.
1988. Svankmajer's adaptation of Alice in Wonderland mixes animation and live action to create a dreamlike world, but it is not simply a kid's film.
Alice watches a stuffed and mounted rabbit come to life in her playroom and follows it through a magical drawer into a strange world that resembles a 19th-century toy store come to life.
Svankmajer uses familiar objects in unfamiliar ways, giving a fantasy quality to the banal (and the not so banal) while tipping the dream logic to the edge of nightmare. The movie may have a somewhat disturbing effect on the viewer.

2002. This animated version of the story includes three fun songs
1966 interpretation by Jonathan Miller, a noted British theater director.
Influenced by surrealism and Victorian architecture, Miller's black-and-white version of Wonderland is a dour and creepy place, not the frenetic and charming bustle usually depicted.
