3.0 out of 5 stars
Creative, and entertaining, August 16, 2004
This review is from: Alice in Wonderland (1982) / Children's Theatre Company [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I was in search for Alice in Wonderland on Amazon, as I could not find the older versions for rent in the local video stores. I had no idea there were so many different versions when I began my search for the 80's version that I remembered on TV as a kid. I came across this one and it had a lot of good feedback, so I purchased it. Anyone looking for the TV version they remembered when they were a kid, this is most likely NOT the version you want. While it was well put together, keep in mind that this version is a broadway stage set. A few props against a black backdrop, and some good actors. For the time that this was made, the make-up artist's did a great job. They spent a great deal of time on the costumes. I rated this movie 3 stars because I didnt think it was worth the price. This version is for someone who is an Alice-in-Wonderland super fanatic and wants every single version ever made. If your in search for the older version you remembered on TV, I found 2 versions to be the ones I remembered: 1972 version on DVD w/ Fionna Fullerton & Dudley Moore, and the 1985 version on VHS that stars musicians (Sammy Davis, Ring Starr, ect.) I decided to write this review because I didnt want to see anyone else feel ripped off and let down to find out this was not the version they were in search for. Hope this review was helpful.

A great production with an All Star cast., November 17, 1998

The filming of a stage play gives this version of Alice a close up feel similar to that of the 1998 film version of Cats. I have looked for this for years since PBS stopped airing it about 1986.

Beautiful, Scary and Haunting!, November 24, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Alice in Wonderland (1982) / Children's Theatre Company [VHS] (VHS Tape)
Wow, I loved this version!!! This is by far the BEST "Alice in Wonderland" I've seen yet. Annie Enneking is wonderful as Alice, Though she may be a little old and just a TAD, TAD bit mature, she plays the part to perfection. She sets are just Magnificent, There simple but they work so well. The music is the most interesting part of this production, It's incredibly haunting, It's sticks in your mind forever. You'll love the ending, It's unlike any "Alice" finale you'll see. This is the most scariest and Brilliant "Alice in Wonderland" ever.
