Title: Bad...film...taking up...valuable...brain space...must purge
Review: The treatment of Alice in Wonderland is overshadowed by the grotesque nightmare of the White Rabbit. A stuffed rabbit gets bug eyes, and rips itself free of its display case, and takes off. It is one of the most ghastly things I have ever seen.The dialog and narration is minimal, almost making this a silent film, which adds nothing to the story, indeed making it very hard to follow. Especially since this film is full of symbolism. In fact, if you take out the "said the White Rabbit," et. al, there would hardly be any dialog throughout the first 3/4 of the film.The sound is harsh and low quality, with sound effects overly dominating each scene.The best part of the film is when Alice is turned into a doll, and the doll is animated. The treatment and cinematography is very consistent, making our ability to relate to the doll as the character very easy.Overall, a waste of time, but is probably a lot of fun on an altered brain chemistry.
