Alice in Wonderland (75 min)
Synopsis: Animated version of Lewis Carroll’s famous story of Alice and her adventures after falling down a rabbit hole. Following a White Rabbit, she meets such strange creatures as a talking doorknob, who helps her through a keyhole into Wonderland, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, who tell the story of “The Walrus and the Carpenter,” the Caterpillar, and the Mad Hatter and the March Hare celebrating an unbirthday at their tea party. Finally, Alice has a showdown with the Queen of Hearts and her army of playing cards. The whole thing becomes such a nightmare that Alice awakens from her dream to the recitations of her sister and the purring of her cat, Dinah.
