Alice in Wonderland (1985)


Made for TV, airing December 9th in the US.
Filmed entirely in California.
The story: Young Alice is bored.
She really really would like to attend the tea party her mother is throwing but she isn't old enough.
When mother sends Alice out to get her sister, she finds her reading a book without pictures, which Alice believes is quite pointless.
Just when Alice least expects it, she sees a rabbit running about.
Alice chases the rabbit , asking for him to stop.
But before she can catch up to him, she falls in a hole.
Now still chasing after the rabbit, Alice loses sight of him.
Although she finds a door...
After opening the door she finds another and yet another until one actually opens onto a room, a room of doors that is.
The doors inside the room are all different sizes and only the smallest one is unlocked.
But Alice cannot fit.
Then a potion appears, which she drinks that changes her from big to small.
Now she can fit but she cannot reach the key to the doors!
Then, a cake appears which Alice eats which changes her to big once again, only much too big to fit through the door.
That's when she begins to cry and without any warning, she is swept through a doorway on her tears and into a very peculiar world.
A world of which Alice just wants to go home from.
