There are only two negatives to this film that I felt were mostly unnecessary elements. One was the frequent edit to a close-up of Alice’s, excuse me “Alenka’s,” small mouth and stained yellow teeth saying things like “Said the White Rabbit” or “Said the Queen of Hearts.” By the time this monotony reached the double-digits I was getting annoyed. I knew which character said what, and I didn’t need a constant reminder. The other negative, and this is up for debate, is that I don’t like foreign films that are dubbed in English. Call me crazy, but I remove subtitles. There is always something lost in the translation. Well, enough of my negativity. There is plenty here worth seeing, and if you are a first-rate nut-case for stop-motion filmmaking than you should thoroughly like this movie. This is not a children’s film! There are method too many unnerving and nightmarish sequences. In fact, this film feels like a surreal nightmare! There’s a slab of meat that squirms into a pot, there are petite rat skulls breaking out of egg shells, and my well-liked moment of the film comes when Alice is being chased by the White Rabbit and his grotesque friends. Alice slams the door and bars the smaller door at the foul. Suddenly, an axe-head bursts through the miniature door repeatedly until it is completely splintered. The axe withdraws and the head of the White Rabbit(a stuffed rabbit with sawdust for entrails) pokes through and he seems to look at Alice with an irascible glare from his glassy white eyes. I expected him to say “Heeeere’s Thumper!” That was the creepiest moment for me, but there are others. There are also some wrenching sound effects that add some salubrious flavor to the nightmarish proceedings. If it wasn’t for the extremely annoying and frequent cutaways to Alice’s slimy mouth I may have given this film a higher rating. That, and she has a faulty habit of puting everything she finds into her mouth. One thing she tries is a key she finds inside a sardine tin filled with oil. Instead of wiping the key trim on her dress she gives it one expedient, long slurp. Yuck! Even she grimaced, considerable to my delight. “Overall, this is a safe movie with plenty of jarring scenes and dream-like sequences that are haunting me to this day,” said the Amazon.com reviewer. There is also a short stop-motion film on this DVD that is “definitely” not for children, but it does have some silly moments. Hold it easy.
This is a film for children. . . sort of, with these ominous words we enter a decaying, claustrophobic wonderland filled with rusty drafting instruments, filthy shards of pottery, lots of sawdust and ageing specimen jars. Watching this movie is like being locked in a closet for a few hours, not exactly fun but impossible to run. Alice herself undergoes the transformation from a barefoot puny girl to a nineteenth century china doll exquisitley racy by the master of conclude motion animation as she crawls through desk drawers and grim hallways. the famillar characters of wonderland become rotting museum displays scurrying about like nightmarish clockwork toys. the sound effects add considerably to the eldritch atmosphere – splintering wood, grating metal, and what sounds like some sort of ratchet beget a disturbing carry out, further reminding us how far from reality we are. this is definitely the best adaptation of Lewis Carrols masterpiece, and the rarest of all commodities – an modern enlighten.
