The Mad Hatter's tea party in 22 minutes? Chaos, but make it vintage.
Part of the animated anthology series 'Festival of Family Classics' by Rankin/Bass Productions, this adaptation follows a blonde, pig-tailed Alice as she visits the bewildering world of Wonderland. Alice encounters a host of characters including the blue Caterpillar, Mad Hatter, March Hare, Cheshire Cat, the Dormouse, who looks and sounds like a punch-drunk fighter, and the Red Queen, who uses a flamingo for a croquet mallet.
Practical Effects
Stop-motion-adjacent energy on a shoestring budget.
Production
Rankin/Bass doing Carroll—ambitious and slightly unhinged.
Director
Arthur Rankin, Jr.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Rankin/Bass cranked this out between their iconic holiday specials, proving even Wonderland got the Rudolph treatment.
This aired when 1970s psychedelia had already claimed Carroll's work—this version plays it surprisingly straight for kids.
