Source of legend and lyric, reference and conjecture, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is for most children pure pleasure in prose. While adults try to decipher Lewis Carroll's putative use of complex mathematical codes in the text, or debate his alleged use of opium, young readers simply dive with Alice through the rabbit hole, pursuing "The dream-child moving through a land / Of wonders wild and new." There they encounter the White Rabbit, the Queen of Hearts, the Mock Turtle, and the Mad Hatter, among a multitude of other characters--extinct, fantastical, and commonplace creatures. Alice journeys through this Wonderland, trying to fathom the meaning of her strange experiences. But they turn out to be "curiouser and curiouser," seemingly without moral or sense.

For more than 130 years, children have reveled in the delightfully non-moralistic, non-educational virtues of this classic. In fact, at every turn, Alice's new companions scoff at her traditional education. The Mock Turtle, for example, remarks that he took the "regular course" in school: Reeling, Writhing, and branches of Arithmetic-Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision. Carroll believed John Tenniel's illustrations were as important as his text. Naturally, Carroll's instincts were good; the masterful drawings are inextricably tied to the well-loved story.

Review Summary: I'ts soo bad...but will make you laugh!
Review: First of all, my sister got this video for free so we didn't waste any money on it. The songs are written with some poor lyrics a 3 year old could make better songs. The costumes are cheap...I think they got them for 1/2 price after Halloween at Kmart. The cast are a bunch of people you have seen before in films but you can't remember their names because they suck anyways. If you are drunk or want a good laugh, watch this movie. It's like eating at a bad buffet you eat till you get full and you puke afterwards!!!

Review Summary: Finally...
Review: I bought this classic book for my Grand Daughter, then started reading it myself as soon as I received it. 'hard to believe that I'd never read it in all my years. It may be "old fashioned" but I think it is a "must read" for all children.

Review Summary: Alice in Wonderland DVD
Review: I recently purchased the 1985 Alice in Wonderland with the second part Through the Looking Glass on DVD. I have watched it and it plays great. I also love that I finally found it on DVD and did not have to resort to buying two VHS tapes separately on eBay somewhere. I hadn't seen this movie since I was very little and it was such a treat to see again! I always remembered a few little parts growing up and it took me a long time to track down which version I was remembering. It is a musical that ran on TV with many singers and actors from the 80s. I admit that now that I'm an adult, I do fast forward some of the songs. I was happy to see the scenes of the movie that I had remembered for so long. The jabberwocky was just as scary as I remembered! Overall, I am very satisfied with the whole buying cycle and the product. This is a great version of Alice in Wonderland for any child.

Review Summary: Simply The Best
Review: I first saw this movie when I was 4yrs old, and of course I taped on VHS. I have had the cassete ever since and it was always one of my favorites. Now my cassete is 23yrs old and actually still working. Now I have 2 kids who also love this movie. So I never thought I could actually find on DVD till I saw it here. It is absolutly my favorite Alice In wonderland, and also 1 of my favorite movies ever.
