I adore the original novels "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass", but this straight-to-TV movie just didn't work for me. Rather than just simply go through Wonderland and enjoy the ride, we have to have a rather contrived moral added on, as well as all these messages encouraging self-esteem. Often, certain scenes drag on for what seems like forever; there's none of the trademark irreverence that the books have. My advice: If you like the books, and don't want to be bogged down, stick to the Disney version. This one is just not true to the spirit of "Alice in Wonderland".
