I watched this over and over and over in foster care! I adored it, it helped me through many dark nights. THANK YOU for posting it

A timeless classic film great viewing 👍

[@mcaducker]

I used to have this on DVD, and watched it all the time with my family. Great to see it again on here!

[@RETROGEMS]

I saw this on VHS years ago! My family rented it when I was a kid in the early 90s. And I remember practically screaming, I was so scared at the Jabberwock! There was something so freaky about the costume and the facial expressions Jack Palance made.

[@SJHFoto]

If you think the Jabberwocky is scary, watch the 80s American production!

[@ilsedemolder3973]

R.I.P. Roy Castle (1932-1994) (Lester the Jester), Robert Coote (1909-1982) (The Red King), Richard Denning (1914-1998) (Alice's Father), Jimmy Durante (1893-1980) (Humpty Dumpty), Ricardo Montalban (1920-2009) (The White King), Agnes Moorehead (1900-1974) (The Red Queen), Jack Palance (1919-2006) (Jabberwock), Iris Adrian (1912-1994), Maryesther Denver (1918-1980), Georgia Simmons (1884-1980) and Sara Taft (1893-1973).

[@fromthesidelines]

Yes, Judi Rolin is still around.

[@jehobden]

BayareaGuy06 It may be easier to say who's still alive from this cast: Nanette Fabray (1920-), Judi Rolin (1946-) (according to her bio, this special originally aired on her 20th b-day), Tom (1937-) & Dick (1939-) Smothers, and Jackie Joseph (1934-). I hope I'm not missing anyone. I remember seeing Georgia Simmons in the last originally-aired Twilight Zone, "The Bewitchin' Pool"), as Aunt T. She looked great here for being past age 80.

[@cmulwee001]

Jon H That final Twilight Zone episode was considerably more lighthearted that most other entries. I guess they wanted to end the show on a positive note. But back to Alice, The Song "Backwards Alphabet" was covered by Soupy Sales with a Children's Chorus,and that version was used on CAPTAIN KANGAROO and was "lip synced" by "Fred" a portly Animorphs character. Never knee the song originated from "Alice" until now

[@BeansOnButter]

29 dislikes? If you were people back in 1966 you would love this , I'm under 20 years old , but the percentage of how much I'm going to actually like this as much as the people in 1966 did is smaller than the chance that Jake Paul actually did do an overnight challenge at the White House , I'm just watching because why the hell not?

[@CollinSamatas]

Saw this as a kid, it's definitely a rather historical gem. The acting is so wonderfully hammy. Productions today rely on so many more edits, effects, etc. that an emphasis ends up being placed on things other than acting.

[@ostrari]

I'm not watching this before I read the original Through the Looking Glass, but what's it matter when something like Joker can get over a billion dollars? I just want a good story or deep message, and in the original Alice's Adventures in Wonderland the use of language is incredibly important. How something is typically said in jest visualized in a literal way or things that have no word for it having a word in Wonderland really mattered to the story. I don't think it would be possible to tell the actual story told originally without cgi.

[@JerryWasARaceCarDriver]

When I heard Alice sing in this I am having tears of joy it's fantastic. The white queen is great too.

[@jehobden]

I have this show on both VHS & DVD. The DVD version has a nice 20-min. interview with one of the producers. I think this was more fun than the big-budget 1985 CBS version, though this version does have an annoying laugh/applause track.

Looking glass world'. Looking out over the horizon, the hills, setting sun, inspiring a magical world in another dimension where size & logic are reversed, where the impossible becomes possible, a conversation, a riddle, where we could be so small the next so large, a world of talking animals, of different colours, absurd characters & situations, of wonder seen with childlike eyes, where money seems to have little value, through a looking glass. written by Andrew Williams in 2008.

[@LaDracul]

I read about this in a book about "Alice in Wonderland" and its various media incarnations...needless to say my curiosity was piqued... HOWEVER, the Evil Queen in Wonderland is used in the "Ever After High" series where she becomes too power hungry and tries to overtake the kingdom of Wonderland, displacing the Wonderlandians who are unsure at this point if they will ever be able to return home. (And they are Maddie Hatter, Lizzie Hearts, Kitty Cheshire, Bunny Blanc and Alistair Wonderland.)

[@johnthomas1839]

[@pinedelgado4743]

I only found out about this television special just a few moments ago after having read a bit about Broadway composer "Moose" Charlap who wrote the music for THIS special and for the musical PETER PAN, and what had prompted me to look up Mr. Charlap on Wikipedia was finding out that the 1960 television adaptation of PETER PAN with Mary Martin had been posted HERE on KZbin. Things really do happen for a reason!! Serendipity!! :) :) :) :)

[@freddiemolinajr.8397]

this is a great movie

[@ginomazzei1076]

This American adaptation has managed to sweep out all those cobwebs and dark corners where imagination inhabits.

[@SJHFoto]

I've never seen this one before! The ones I grew up with were the two versions from the 80s (One has Richard Burton's daughter, and the other is a BIG American production for television), the 70s BBC version with Sarah Sutton (later to become a Dr Who companion), and of course the Disney cartoon. This one is neat since Alice seems to live in the contemporary times of the broadcast of the show (the party has a 60s feel, instead of a Victorian feel). I think my favourite was the '85 American production since the actress playing Alice is the same age as the character (nearly), and the Jabberwocky was scary to me at 10!

51:20 "We've got a Mother, yes, we've got a Mother!" (Melody line "borrowed" from the song "Wendy" from the classic Mary Martin version of 'Peter Pan'.) AND, if that wasn't enough, at 51:51 , there is the melody line from "You Are Sixteen" from "The Sound of Music". Moose Charlap's songs for "Alice" are all duds. The lyrics are abysmal. Nanette Fabray was disappointed with the program.
