about alice in wonderland

   In 1985, a two part version of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland was aired on television. I was seven years old, had just turned the day before it was shown. For a while after that, it was shown every year around my birthday. And that is the fond memory I hold of it.

   And that is why I created this fanlisting. This movie is special to me, and it stays with me. It's a really great adaptation.

   This movie was a fantastic world of fantasy, nonsense, beautiful sets and costumes and it really captured the spirit of Carroll's tale. There is so much in this movie that not only leaves readers pleased, but the movie is so beautiful and full of action and drama that anyone will be satisfied when watching this movie.

   The 1985 version was well acted and it brought together a wide variety of celebrities, as well as unknowns. This movie held a great cast telling a fantastic story. And the result, the movie, is proof of that.

   I never get tired of it. I could watch it over and over and still not get enough. This movie is one of my favorites. It's the best.
