Alice in Wonderland (1988 film)

Alice in Wonderland (1988 film) is a partially animated musical film directed by John Clark, based on Lewis Carroll's novels Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. It stars Natalie Gregory as Alice, with a large ensemble cast portraying the various characters of Wonderland, a mix of live-action actors in elaborate costumes and animated figures.

The film follows the traditional story of Alice, a young girl who falls down a rabbit hole and enters a fantastical world filled with strange creatures and nonsensical situations. She encounters iconic characters like the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and the Queen of Hearts, navigating their bizarre logic and customs.

The production is known for its extensive use of makeup and costuming to transform the live-action actors into the characters from Carroll's books. It also features a musical score with original songs, contributing to the film's whimsical and sometimes surreal atmosphere. While not as widely acclaimed as some other adaptations of Alice in Wonderland, it remains a notable interpretation for its adherence to the source material and its combination of live-action and animation techniques. The film was originally broadcast as a two-part miniseries on television.
