I am in my 40s and saw this on TV back in the 70s. I've been searching for a copy for years - I learned how to say the alphabet backwards because of this show which was useful in entertaining friends for years and I still remember it! This particular version cast Agnes Moorehead, Nannette Fabray, Jimmy Durante, Jonathan Winters and others that youngsters today don't know, but it is immensely fun to watch, in spite of the lack of hi-tech special effects! I highly recommend it.

This television special of ALICE THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS, originally telecast in 1966, is a very delightful musical that is a joy to watch.

Judi Rolin plays Alice. She has a remarkable singing voice and dances wonderfully, but her acting style is somewhat lacking, sometimes cloying and a little over-the-top.

Roy Castle, as Lester the Jester, has a ball, and also sings and dances wonderfully. There is Tom and Dick Smothers as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and Jack Palance as the Jabberwock.

In featured roles are Agnes Moorehead and Robert Coote as the Red Queen and King, and Nanette Fabray and Ricardo Montalban as the White Queen and King.

There's also the fabulous Iris Adrian as Tiger Lilly, Jackie Joseph as Daisy, Richard Denning as Father and Jimmy Durante as Humpty Dumpty.

The fantastic songs are by Moose Charlap ("Peter Pan") and Elsie Simmons, and the highly imaginative costumes are by Bob Mackie.

The stunning television presentation is a must for all Alice and musical fans!

This is a musical fantasy. Judy Rolan is a great singer. It's a comedy movie and you'll love it My mom said she ordered an "Alice in Wonderland" staring Natalie Gregory. She said it would come around my birthday. When it was my Birthday she gave me a present. I opened it and it was an "Alice Through the Looking Glass" movie. I was angry. I watched it and fell in love with it. I encourage you to buy it.

I saw this program on the Disney Channel, and I am a big fan of Alice, so when I heard about this I had to sit down and watch it. I thought it was so amazing and so wonderful to see the Disney Channel actually broadcast a musical like Alice Through the Looking Glass. Although I do have to regret that Julie's Rolan needs some singing lessons, and then she could sound like a nightengale. I think the guy who played the jabberwocky was pretty weird, but he was okay for a beginner. Tweedledum and Tweedledee were okay, but not the best. Still, your movie is not really a success, but if I were Siskel or Ebert I would give it one thumb up or two.

I received this accidently while ordering another movie and was quite pleased to find an entertaining and somewhat comical version of the book. Truly a find for any musical or Alice lovers.

This movie is good. I've seen 2 versions of it. I think the other one is better. This one doesn't have the Jabberwock. Versions with him are better.

Horrible sixties TV musical of Through the Looking Glass, complete with terrible acting, cheesy sets and special effects, forgettalbly silly songs, and a complete butchering of Carrolls masterpiece. I thought that this would be a movie based on the book and was disappointed to discover that it was a cheesy sixties musical. Avoid this movie at all costs if you are looking for a movie based on Carrolls book. This is just a tepid sixties TV special, not a movie.
