Short Review

For sure. this is the definitive screen adaptation of Lewis Carroll's famous story of Alice's adventures underground. It won't be for everyone but lovers of the book should enjoy this one. The sets and costumes all faithfully follow John Tenniel's original illustrations and always think of Fiona Fullerton as the perfect Alice. It's certainly not a perfect film but. for me, its merits outweigh its shortcomings. The pace can be a little slow and tedious yet at other times. with John Barry's haunting, atmospheric score, the film can be magical, bewitching and hypnotic to a point. The songs are silly and add nothing to the film but there's a stellar British line-up of thespians in this underrated adaptation and much to like about it.
