Because this film is so overlooked, as a result of being a made for television movie, I feel like I should list all the reasons this movie is so great, in the hopes more people will give it a chance. But, many of the elements in this film I will give the same term: Excellent; so, I won't bother with laying it on thick.
Over 2-hours long, it kept me wide awake and enthused as it progressed, from each outrageous character, to each bizarre little scene, and to each often touching moment. This is a faithful adaption, but it still stands out from the books and every other Alice adaption by adding a little something, so that everyone can be drawn in. I can't think of a better way to add to it, which makes it all the better. Perhaps, the movie wouldn't have been in harmony if the casting wasn't so brilliant as it is, maybe if the music wasn't as nostalgic or lovely, maybe if the story wasn't so faithfully done, but it did have all these wonderful things, all in one. Quite a package! I hope you watch the movie, and as a result read the writings it's based on, if you haven't already. My favorite adaption of Lewis Carroll's two famous books "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass". Don't overlook this gem anymore!
