Probably a bit of a controversial take, but this show had my all-time FAVOURITE depictions of the Mad Hatter and March Hare. Being a kids show, they needed to portray the two's eccentrics without having them come off as insane, and I think they managed to pull it off in a way that made the two just silly and eccentric enough to not only not be annoying, but also help them stand out in a cast of other eccentrics.

The title is a play off the movie titled "White Men Can't Jump"

[@darreylhenderson702]

The show is now officially on Disney plus!!! There are 99 out of the 100 episodes, I'm assuming they left off the OJ Simpson one. It's so crazy to finally see this show in such clarity after watching episodes on KZbin all these years, or on the VHS tapes.

[@darreylhenderson702]

[@LadyBeyondTheWall]

@@daniellasloane8410 I can't believe someone else mentioned how this show triggered school anxiety! 😂 That's one thing I remembered MOST about this show! When it would end, I'd get a sick feeling in my stomach knowing I'd have to leave for school..so as much as I loved the show and would watch it every morning before 5th grade, it's now associated with my very first panic attacks! So much so that I still feel anxiety thinking about just the show itself. I'm sure there's a bunch of us though that had a bad time at school and watched this before going. We should form a club.

Ho-lee-crap. This show actually existed. Guys you don’t understand. I watched this show. But at the very edge of my memory. I seriously thought it was a fever dream or a delusion. I was born on or abouts when this show first aired. This is mind boggling to me. It means what I think are my very earliest memories actually are. This is very cool and weird.

Oh I understand completely! This is definitely one of my earliest memories looking at it again for the first time in 25 years is so surreal to me. The whole thing is like a dream and looking at the show now it seems like one strange dream anyways so it just added onto me thinking this has got to be a dream of mine not reality but it was it is! I understand what you mean about it being so very cool but weird at the same time. Also makes me feel melancholic cause it means I've gotten so old now not a little girl anymore 😥

[@alexjames1756]

This is one of those things that I never actively watched but I remember a trip to the hospital where the Waiting room TV was playing some weird Alice in Wonderland adaptation. Had no idea what movie/show it was for the longest time, but I had one particular memory about it: The caterpillar being large and green in this version. .......This video singlehandedly dredged up this repressed memory.....

[@masterof4elements826]

I was born in 1992 and some of my earliest memories are of watching this show at my great-aunts house. One of the first nightmares I ever had was because of this show. I remember that dream so well. even though it happened over 20 years ago. The mad-hatter got shot.

This was one of my favorite shows as a kid, Kevin. I’m so glad you decided to bring it up because NOBODY TALKS ABOUT IT. I have to google to watch old vhs rips of it! The Howl O Ween episode is still an annual must do tradition that I never miss.

Me before watching the video: Wow, I've never heard of this show, but that puppet Cheshire Cat and White Rabbit guy look creepy. Me after watching the video: *MUST BREAK INTO DISNEY VAULT TO GRAB OJ EPISODE NOW*

[@ShalmendoGlineux]

The White Rabbit was actually one of the more fun and relatable characters, but the Cheshire Cat puppetry was a little creepy, certainly. Especially how he was fading in and out of places, and the interactions with the Cat always seemed... off somehow (Which was due to the green screening. The cat was never actually present on set during principal filming so the actors had to take the cue of basically 'the cat is floating up around here' and act to the air, so that's probably why).
