Alice Through The Looking Glass [VHS]

We bought the DVD for our grandchildren who enjoy the Alice in Wonderland book. We loved the TV series that features many great actors, actresses, and a couple of famous musicians, playing the part of the various people, and characters from the book. We have grandchildren between the ages of 2 and 9 and they enjoy this DVD.

I know that as a twelve-year old, when I saw this on TV in 1985, I really liked it. It was never on as frequently as theanimated version was, but there was a time later on it appeared again. My mother laughed and laughed until she just hurt.She liked this version as well. This one is the one that brings back the memories, for my mother is no longer alive now.Since the last time I watched this film with my mother, until last year, when we purchased this, I had nearly forgottenabout it. Now with a small family of my own, it is all the more special to me. (My daughter views this one nearly threetimes per week.) This is still one of the best Alice films to see.Alice is the right age and size. So far this area is failing in other versions, excluding the animated one. It stays reallyclose to the book. The characters are interesting and fascinating, even after all of the years that elapsed in between seeing it last, until owning it on dvd. Nearly everything is following the book. All of the characters are here. A lot of the poemsare included as songs, which is not bothersome to me, because this is one of the first Alice films I recall viewing. I haveto remind myself, that this film is in the 1980's, and for that time I feel that a lot of attention was given to the details.The poem "Jabberwocky" was given by Alice in part, and then the "Jabberwock with eyes of flame" appeared and "burbled as itcame." Many other such events are here as well. A must for those with children or if you remember this one from the past.From beginning to ending it is great.

The package was well wrapped and received it on time, The movie was good, a little long with lots of self dialogue of Alice. Overall a good product of its time.

Love this version. Glad I could find it.

This has to be one of my most favorite Alice in Wonderland adaptations.

The late Irwin Allen("The Master of Disaster") produced this Alice in Wonderland TV movie in 1985. This budget DVD does justice to the film. It has Alice in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass as they were originally broadcast on television. The VHS versions were slightly re-edited so they could be sold as two separate movies! These two TV movies were based on Lewis Carroll's Alice books. They do a good job telling the story with hard, tangible special effects. Computer Generated Imagery is common in movie making today. There's some visual effects crafted by John Dykstra, as well. Alice in Wonderland does have some campy humor and corny songs written by the late Steve Allen(who also makes a brief appearance in part two). Telly Savalas declares, "Meow, baby!" in one scene! The scenes where Alice is chased by a dragon are suspenseful! Keep in mind this Alice TV movie is over three hours long! It'll leave you with a sore rear end!Irwin Allen favored "star power" and this TV movie has A-list celebrities(Sammy Davis Jr., Jayne Meadows, Pat Morita, Shelley Winters, Lloyd Bridges, etc.) playing mice and rabbits! Let's not forget about Natalie Gregory who plays Alice. She's one of the most adorable flesh-and-blood versions of Lewis Carroll's Alice. She's sweeter than an apple pie and candy bars! Her earnest, sincere performance helps the film. The producers changed Alice's nationality from English to American; Gregory is as American as apple pie! This Alice in Wonderland TV movie is nostalgic fun. It reminds me of watching it during Christmas Vacation of 1985.

I always ask people if they seen this Alice. It's my favorite out of all of them. I looked for it for years and finally found it here. When I pressed play I was a little girl again singing along to the songs couldn't believe how many I remembered. The old actors man they bring the characters to life. If you haven't seen this do yourself a favor and buy and watch it if your a Alice In Wonderland fan.

My 8 year old thought this movie was great.Ringo Starr is in it??The child actor looks legit terrified in the jaberwocky scene.It’s 2 parts so it has and ‘ending’ with credits in the middle, we almost turned it off and I was confused where the rest of the movie was. The credits run and the next movie begins.Classic for us 80s kids to pass on to our kids.
