Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
This is an impressive-looking version of Lewis Carroll's story originally produced for American television. Dreading a singing recital at her parents' lavish home, Alice falls into a strange world in pursuit of a large White Rabbit. The talented child actor Tina Majorino (Corrina, Corrina) plays Alice with all the good graces but mostly wanders through the story unquestioningly. Carroll's tale of whimsical, illogical adventures is a field day for designers Roger Hall and Alan Tomkins, costumer Charles Knode, Jim Henson's Creature Shop and director Nick Willing (Photographing Fairies). Influenced by Time Bandits and Labyrinth (the latter also designed by the Henson company), the film has a splendid array of effects, many dealing with multiple perspectives as Alice constantly changes sizes. The highlight is Whoopi Goldberg as the Cheshire Cat, a seamless mix of cat and comic. Martin Short as the Hatter and Mirandra Richardson as the Queen of Hearts seem to be having the times of their lives. This is not the definitive version of Carroll's tale, and, like the popular Disney animated version, combines some elements of Carroll's sequel, Through the Looking Glass. It is perhaps better viewing for the fan that has seen another version of the tale or read the book. --Doug Thomas, Amazon.com

Synopsis
Alice is asked to give evidence against the knave who is standing trial for taking the Queen's tarts. After the trial the King and Queen send Alice away to the real world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent choice of stars portray this all time favourite, 2 Dec 2000
By A Customer
Having always been a great fan of this Lewis Carroll classic (it was my chosen text for English Literature A Level!!) I was intrigued to see how such a mixed bunch of British and American actors would portray the bizarre world that is Wonderland.

Whoopi Goldberg is superb as the Cheshire Cat - 10 out of 10 to casting for choosing the biggest grin on the big screen. Ben Kingsley makes a marvellous portrayal of the pompous Caterpillar as does Gene Wilder as the Mock Turtle. Other stars worthy of a mention are most certainly Martin Short whose Mad Hatter is just the right amount of cheeky yet lovable and last but not lease Miranda Richardson whose squawking Queen of Hearts is second only to the extremely ugly portrayal of the same character in Walt Disney's version.

Amongst this phenomonal list of stars was cast little known Tina Majorino in the lead part of confused Alice. This creates a perfect balance in that Tina still shines through as the star of the picture and interacts superbly with the huge star cast she has been dropped in the middle of.

This film is a must for children and the young-at-heart alike. Where children will enjoy the funny characters and the places which only ever appear in your dreams, I would advise adults to look deeper into the mind of the child and what is going on in there!!!

I would not be without this in my video collection and cannot wait for the film version of Alice Through the Looking Glass to appear in my xmas stocking.

5.0 out of 5 stars Martin Short as the Mad Hatter is reason alone to see it!, 29 May 2001
By A Customer
The acting and visual effects in this adaptation are second to none in my opinion. Just check out the actors involved. Impressive! The perfomance by the young Tina Majorino is nothing short of excellent, and I can't imagine anyone improving on Martin Short's Mad Hatter. It is wonderful treat to find films that can be shared with enjoyment by both children and adults. This is a film that achieves this - the difficult art of mixing "adult" an "naïve" qualities. It is only too rare to find these days. In short an excellent film!

A brilliant adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. With a star-studded cast, great music, wonderful costumes and delightful animatronics this really is a magical version of the children's classic. Not to be missed!
