Negative Positive
Title: Static, inept and not very entertaining
Review: There's a reason why this movie was never released on DVD until now, with Universal seeing a way to capitalize on the current Disney version: this is an awful film! My wife and I couldn't get through it. The acting is wooden and flat, not that the script gives the performers much to work with. A lot of it seems like vaudeville -- Alice runs into a character and becomes the straight man (girl) for a not-very-funny routine. The visual effects are not even good for their time, in that the original King Kong came out the very same year. Add to that the fact that the DVD transfer is poor, with a print full of scratches and poor contrast. If you must waste 77 minutes of your life on this mess, rent it and don't waste your money buying it.
