FUN MOVIE, great eye candy!!! =-) However, in spite of the trailer, it's downright sad MGM lacked the financial resources to promote the film because they were on the verge of bankruptcy throughout the 1960's.
Unlike the top commenter, I appreciate the movie for what it is, so much so that when I read the book after seeing the movie, I just felt more comfortable with the film adaptation. Then again, considering that I first saw the film as a young child before reading the book in junior high, I suppose that I might be a bit biased here.
@uknownada Unfortunately, Don Bluth's last film was back in 2000, "Titan AE." He went out with a major bang (regardless that that film was a box office flop!). I would love to see something in this new degraded pop culture directed by him; I know he'd stick to the style that made his films famous. *And yes, all the sequels I have seen to D.B. films are beyond terrible (with the exception of "Feivel Goes West"). This would be just the thing for Bluth to re-imagine.
Fantastic Trip indeed!?..........THANKYOU,THANKYOU,THANKYOU so much for adding this vid. Ya see,I`m in my 40`s now,and saw this when I was aged about 10???
Thought it brilliant at the time.....forgot the title! Never seen it since.Then aged 19 dropped some acid, and saw some of the characters from the film!....Freaky,thought I`d imagined it.(the film)??? Cheers
i loved that film when i was a kid! i havent seen it since i was like 6, and could not for the life of me remember what it was called, until about 10 minutes ago, when i saw a youtube comment about it :p lol
Read this last year,what great memories.
Rare to come along books that have a "Wonderland" feel to them anymore.

If there really is going to be a movie based on this book in 2013, then it had better be good, or be directed by Don Bluth.
1blatherblather 3 months ago
@1blatherblather Don Bluth hasn't directed or animated a film in over a decade. Plus the man is 74.
I don't think he's doing anything else, sadly. Even more sadly, his movies are still getting sequels. T_T

@fictionchic Actually, I kind of liked Fievel Goes West, it was cute. But yeah, Titan A.E. was the best. I'll agree with you on that.
