| This is a very standard Czech film. The stop animation and the bizarreness of Alice in Wonderland makes it fun to watch. Much better than any other depiction of the book. |

| The first twenty minutes of this film was great. But then the rest of it was exactly the same. No visual, thematic, emotional, or stylistic variety. I don't know. It's a classic and all. It's pretty interesting until its horribly boring. Watch it if you want. |

| This one is no harder to follow nor more surreal than any previous version of the story, including the book by Lewis Carroll. |

| The film's feel is very grey and raw. A very Eastern European feel. This is indeed a surreal version of Alice in Wonderland. I didn't think the stop motion quality was particularly noteworthy, but it certainly doesn't detract from the movie at all. Watching it dubbed in English is fine, because Alice doesn't speak in the movie. The movie is narrated, which works well. The main problem I have is the inconsistencies in the movie, and the lack of any real plot. Alice travels from scene to scene, doing things that don't make sense, seeing things that don't make sense, and then poof, ends up back home. And I don't mean doesn't make sense in an Eraserhead kind of way, I mean in a "writer didn't think this out real well" kind of way. Also, the inconsistency of how Alice does the growing and shrinking made me batty. I gave the movie a 5. The lack of substance keeps it from getting higher, but its originality and cinematography keep it afloat. |
