The first of the Alice trips demands attention for its historical significance and little else. Unimaginative live action it looks like it was shot in a backyard and city park and depends heavily on title cards. Alice is a little long in the tooth as she stomps through an uninspired dreamworld in sore need of Melies. Even the Cheshire Cat fails to smile. But you know cats.
Tempo and action does increase at the tale end when Alice insults the queen who summons the high executioner and a deck of cards played by an army of kids to pursue her back to consciousness but overall it is an uninspired telling with a single bragging right.
