I grew up with the FoFC versions of Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty and never saw this one as a kid, but watching it somehow feels really familiar and comforting while also being exciting and new. And the quality is spectacular!
this is the only cartoon version I've ever seen. It feels like a fever dream when I try to explain it to others, but we used to watch it all the time. Thanks so much for the upload!
I still have it, though it's been many years since I last watched it. Watching this now, what immediately blows my mind is that Rankin/Bass - of the many many holiday specials - were the makers.
3:14 When the ADD kicks in. 4:24 Foreshadowing. Also, of all the Alice portrayals out there this Alice seems to have the most casual attitude about eating strange food and drinks that just appeared there.
13:43 I still do question their decision of making the mock turtle just looked like a normal turtle rather than a half turtle half cow abomination like he's meant to be
I love this animation and art style so much, even though there are so many mistakes and the lip syncing is super off. It's still a big piece of inspiration for me though.
Is no one gonna talk how they re-used the same soundtrack bit from Rankin/Bass' 1967 Christmas special Cricket on the Hearth? czcams.com/video/8EVxMZtOGoA/video.htmlsi=-Es-kYE00nOGTRYE&t=517 and in 19:38-20:35 they also re-used one of the soundtracks from their thanksgiving special from 1968 called The Mouse on the Mayflower (I forgot that some of the episodes on this series made by Rankin/Bass also re-used their soundtracks from their previous tv specials and etc.)
Maybe the sister thought Alice was still dreaming? I mean for me at least it takes like a minute or so before I become fully aware of my surroundings after waking up. But I don't know 🤷🏻♂
I really enjoy this adaptation of Alice in wonderland next to the 1951 Disney film this my favorite version of Alice next to the Disney version she reminds a mix of the Disney Alice and Karen from frosty the snowman put together adding the adorable matter to it a very underrated adaptation in my opinion
I remember we had this on VHS in the UK. I think we had one with a fake cover cause we thought we were getting the Disney version. We gave up watching it after 8 minutes. Watching it as an adult, it's not bad. Typical odd Rankin/Bass style and all that.
I honestly like this version of Alice in Wonderland. I don't know why, but maybe it's because of the simple 70s animation. Festival of family classics is such an underrated Rankin Bass cartoon. My favorite part is the tea party scene it was funny. People should talk more about this cartoon of alice.
What a shame they did this before The Return of the King and The last Unicorn etc., with all the dark atmosphere. Wish they'd revisited this in the 80's.
Why was the Queen of Hearts called the Red Queen? Different queen, different book. In fact, this misnomer was the only reference in this cartoon to that other Alice book.
I feel like that was either their way of referencing Through The Looking Glass or to the Disney Version. I'm thinking Disney since the Queen of Hearts does quote the Red Chess Queen. "All ways are my ways" "Curtsey while you're thinking" but who knows? It could be a conquesendence i mean hearts are red. And they did say red queen not chess so.....
@@eduardo_corrochio Well, that information wasn't on IMDb at the time they wrote that. I know because I'm the one who added it. I got that information from the Behind the Voice Actors website. Though, frankly, I'm a little dubious about it. I'm not sure where they go that info, especially since not all the characters in this have their voice actors identified, and except for the character of Tom Sawyer, none of the other episodes in the FFC series are mentioned.
StrahaoftheRace people can think of stuff like this without drugs mind you.. boring people without imagination or creativity are the ones who do it and say that sort of thing about this stuff xD
Wonderland is a representation of the so called normal adult world. It shows how to a rational mind society makes no sense. In fact you NEED drugs just to put up with it.
@@KRGRTV From what it says at the end of the book I think it just means children have wild imaginations and to keep the same innocent heart of a child you need to hold on to those memories and childish fantasies, they are one of the things that have helped make you into whoever you are as a person. And maybe even pass it on to others or your own children so they too can keep that simple loving heart from when they were once children. Everyone of us has an inner child inside after all. I think what stories like Alice and Peter Pan have in common is that one never truly grows up. We all go back to our childhood now and then. Whether by eating our old cereal, watching our favorite cartoons or even snuggling with our parents at night or hell even laughing so hard at toilet humor you bust an intestine. Because that was part of our childhood. And if we keep that phase in our lives alive in our memories, and "remembering those happy summer days" we will truly never grow up. And we need to embrace it and enjoy it. Memories and ideals are very precious after all. ❤
The mock turtle dose not look like a mock turtle it looks like a regular turtle the mock turtle is sapoose to look like a cow's head a turtle's flippers shell cow's tail or a dog's head paws tail and turtle's shell
Say, Curiouser Archive, since you're uploading all these versions of "Alice...", some pretty little known, I was wondering if, by some sheer chance, you might be able to get hold of the TV special "Inaugural Celebration for Children". I saw it in first grade, right when Bill Clinton was elected president. I ask about it because it featured a few characters from the series "Adventures in Wonderland". Think you can find it somewhere?

this has been stuck in my head since i was like 5-6 my Nan played them for me on VHS back in 1995-6

Alice is definitely a lot smarter in this version
Oh my, I’ve never seen a place like this
I had this on video when I was little! Blast from the past!
Me too, VHS

Watching this now, what immediately blows my mind is that Rankin/Bass - of the many many holiday specials - were the makers.
The art style in this one is really cute! This and the 1951 Alice in Wonderland are probably my favorites!
The sound the Cheshire Cat makes when he appears and disappears is so unnerving lol
I like this condensed, somewhat Americanized version. compressing the story so much makes it even more surreal, lol.
Didn't Rankin and Bass have most of their cartoons done in Japan?
@@showman139 really?
@@shookums265 Yeah the puppets, sets, and animation was done in Japan by Japanese studio's.
Is no one going to point out the fact that she literally looks like Dorothy from the wonderful wizard of oz
Exactly I was just thinking about that
@@Goosebumps657-qe3hq 20:57 20:58 what Alice looks like Dorothy from the wonderful Wizard of Oz
I have a Wizard of Oz cartoon where Dorothy looks just like Alice

Wauw, i remember watching this as a child. I'm 31 now. Nice to see it again. Soo nostalgic. Or as we say in Belgium: Amai, waar is den tijd?.😉😁
What do you know after all failed attempts all it took was a good cry from Alice to wake her up and bring her back to the world of reality.
I wish if Dreamworks should release the complete series on DVD including all of the episodes from this show. I have not seen this in a long time.
MTN Productions Maybe if Universal on behalf of DreamWorks Animation would release it.
and even Shout! Factory.

That's the charm of Rankin & Bass. :)

Thank you for the childhood memories.
I used to watch this video as a 5-year-old in 2000, distributed by Rankin/Bass
Wow, my childhood times. Thank you so much!
One of my favorite characters, now that I've seen this, is this version of the Mad Hatter.

oh yeah it does sound like that
"Where am I?"
"I don't know. "
What kind of an answer is that?
Maybe the sister thought Alice was still dreaming? I mean for me at least it takes like a minute or so before I become fully aware of my surroundings after waking up. But I don't know 🤷🏻♂

Loved this as a kid. I rememeber it as a full-length movie, but everything else is just as awesome as I thought. Many thanks for the upload!
I think that's the same actress who voiced Mary in the Christmas Tree episode.
I think my sister bought that video from the pound shop in Nailsea around her 3rd birthday when I was 6 1/2.
Both the Disney and Rankin Bass are better than good time alice.
What do you mean good time Alice?

What about Funky Fables Alice?
The mock turtle looks like when he is in his teenage form

Maybe, but you can never go wrong with Rankin/Bass’s work.
@@BlkChameleonI guess I'm not used to it. I grew up more with early Hanna-Barbera cartoons.

The turtle (who is a Mock Turtle in the book) sounds somewhat like Goofy.
Do you suppose he, the March Hare, and the Dormouse could have been voiced by the same guy?
He sounds like Bullwinkle (Rocky and Bullwinkle) for me
Very odd version but glad to be able to see it
What a shame they did this before The Return of the King and The last Unicorn etc., with all the dark atmosphere. Wish they'd revisited this in the 80's.
Why is it a shame? It still holds up nicely enough.

They would show repeats of this show on Thanksgiving!
This is great
Why was the Queen of Hearts called the Red Queen? Different queen, different book. In fact, this misnomer was the only reference in this cartoon to that other Alice book.

The internet can't tell me who her voice actress was. :(
Who's? Alice's?
i wanna know too. its raspy but it also sounds really nice
Guess you didn't check this show on the IMDb, because they list the character voices, and Alice's was done by Donna Miller.

This actually isnt bad...but disney still did do better
Lesson kiddies: Don't take drugs.
I always thought the lesson was do drugs, Wonderland seems pretty fun
