When I was little, maybe 8 or 9, I watched this musical made-for-TV version of "Alice in Wonderland" pretty much non-stop, much to my mom's chagrin (to her credit, she hasn't held it against me). This movie featured Scott Baio, Sammy Davis Jr., and various other cameos from people I couldn't possibly have recognized at that age. In my memory, this movie was magical, funny, a bit creepy, and incredibly artistic.
Not so.
After Ace found it for me on Netflix and rented it, I am shamed and disappointed. I couldn't bear to watch the whole thing through. At some point after Alice met the Mad Hatter, I threw in the towel. It was hokey, boring, low-budget (though probably high-budget for TV), and...musical.
I've experienced the same issues with other beloved childhood films, such as Space Balls, and The Care Bears. Recently, I've been wanting to watch some old Looney Tunes, but now I'm afraid they won't stand the test of time, either.
I do still love "Babe", though.
How to Avoid a Photoshop Disaster

Whether you...

If you were expecting artistic, well...swing and a miss. But I still love that movie! Granted, it gets deathly slow at times, and the Mad Hatter's song is such a painful misfire that I'd really like to know what the thought process was there, but you really have to stick around for the second half, where it turns like a bad acid trip.
