Yeah ... I don't think I'm as big of a fan of this as many people are. It undeniably has a lot of amazing imagery ... it also has a lot of tiresome rummaging around in drawers and similar tedium. I like it, but if it's the best screen version of "Alice in Wonderland", that's largely because of how abysmally unimaginative and dreary most other versions are.

If you are a fan of random, loud, annoying noises and pictures; solely intended to be an eye/ear sore, then this is the film for you. I used to have very vivid, haunting, random dreams of shapes and noises when I was a child that used to haunt me at night. This film is very similar to those dreams.You would have to be another level of pretentious to give this film a positive rating, or refer to it as "art"It is nonsense for the sake of nonsense. The sole intention of this film is to wind people up. I think Jan Svankmajer did this film for a laugh to see what he could get away with, knowing full well that some so called "film critics" would still give it rave reviews, however skin crawlingly pointlessIf I could stop one person from watching this film with this review I feel that I would have made the world a slightly better placeThe only possible use for this movie would be for torture. This is far more psychologically harmful than waterboardingIt angers me that this film exists and the fact that it won an award makes me sick

If you'd like a lumpy ceramic ashtray from a mental patient's therapy session, then this might be the movie for you. Like garbage art, not bound to any rules of quality, Jan Svankmajer here puts some little girl into filthy decrepit locations and films poorly executed stop action experiments with no connection to plot. Some who don't understand that random isn't the same as art may simply adore it. One possibility for college kids chasing a good time - It may be bad enough to watch as one of those movies 'so bad it's good'? - the little girl says 'Said the white rabbit' about 150 times which can be fun to echo back at your dad or film history instructor who made you watch this.

I watched this as a kid, it was on channel 4 or something, DEAR GOD IT WAS DISTURBING. I can't believe people thought this was for children, I wouldn't let my children watch it. Although most children would probably find it boring, I actually quite liked it. But I am now having regular therapy sessions and I blame this entirely.... AND THE NIGHTMARES.JUST.WON'T.STOP..... The image of the white rabbit chattering it's teeth will be forever burned into my brain. CANNOT UNSEE!!!.... NOOOOOO!!!Anyway I have been searching for this for years, it's not very well known so was hard to find. I was curious to find out what it was called so that I could watch it again, I am a glutton for punishment. And I felt that I needed more therapy, I quite like being driven mad by bizarre and random images.Those teeth! NOOOOOO!!!
