Title: Not quite worth it
Review: I am one of those who bought the movie for the privelege of seeing a young Michael Crawford (Phantom of the Opera) running around in a rabbit suit. Once I got it in the VCR, not even that motivation could induce me to sit through the entire movie. None of the actors are memorable, and the general feeling one gets is of boredom and irritation. The movie does follow the book it is based on very closely, making use of special effects to make a live- action "Alice" believable, the costumes are remarkable, and Dudley Moore lends a kind of charm to the Dormouse, but the movie loses the magic of the Disney film. This version of the Lewis Carroll classic would be good for "Alice" buffs and possibly tolerant children with large attention spans, but it is less than adequate as a form of entertainment during a boring afternoon and hardly does the charming book justice.
