I seem to remember thi smovie coming on TV when I was in garde one. I watched it with my mom and older sister. We really enjoyed it. I do think the younger kids will enjoy this retelling of the Lewis Carroll classic about Alice (Natalie Gregory) visiting the Looking Glass Land. Not to mention there is also some humour that the adults show enjoy too.
None of the scenes or interactions with the creatures in Looking Glass Land are wasted with lots of singing. My favourite is when she meets the Mad Hatter (Anthony Newley), The March Hare (Roddy McDowall) and the Dormouse (Arte Johnson). Just remember there are some bad, cheeseball 80s effects. So, if you are expecting great special effects set that thought aside. Also has a great old school cast tahat includes Red Buttons who plays the White Rabbitt, Sammy Davis Jr., Beau Bridges and Lloyd Bridges and many, many others. Was originally shown in two parts so does clock in at over 3 hours.
On a sidenote I know this is not a Christmas movie, but every Christmas my wife and brother-in-law watch this movie as a Christmas tradition.
