Alice In Wonderland (1983) - Who Stole The Tarts?

[muzman52]

This version is appalling, the acting is so stiff, and there is little expression in the voice.

[theheckwithit]

nothing whatever?

Nothing Whatever!

[AnimeEyes143]

This version as some fine acting, but I must say it was rather boring. No one seems very "mad" and loony. Maybe mildly unsettled but nonetheless it lacks some entertainment. : /

[pgy002]

I was the Queen of Hearts for Halloween but I looked like the one from the 1972 movie like on the playing card. I also made a costume based on the one form the 1985 movie.

[bigdaddy019A]

I like this version it is very close to what happens in the book and i like the sets because it looks like its a drawing and the costumes are beautiful but the acting i would give it a 3/5

[Capercaillie100]

The set is beautiful, but the acting is lifeless. The White Rabbit seems bored. He should be constantly flustered and on edge. I don't understand why he has a rabbit body but no rabbit ears. Alice seems smug. I did like it when she flirted with the Knave, though. It reinforces the nonsense of the trial. And I love the line "He stole those tarts!"

[Capercaillie100]

Oops. I meant to say that the Queen flirted with the Knave.

[trinitymplayers]

Initially, the Rabbit does wear a mask, but takes it off as soon as his character is established so the audience can see the actor's face. That's why the March Hare has no ears in this scene either. Director's concept, go figure.

[Vortigern99]

It's faithful to the book, sure, and a lot of work obviously went into the production... but it lacks life and luster. I'd give it three stars (out of five) for effort and craftsmanship, but that comes with the proviso that it's, well, boring.

[lasvacasvuelan]

i think that the problem in this scene is not about acting...to me the problem is in the photography....

[LittleMissSparkly]

in our school play i am the queen of hearts. the words r exactly the same.

[arrecotinarrecotan]

beautiful production design

queen of hearts, green? red!!!!!

but how pathetically and obnoxiously acted.

[benfrenzy]

i agree 100%.

[kommienezuspadt9]

Aw, Željko Ivanek is so young in this! And I always love Austin Pendleton.

This is really great, I've never seen this version before. Thanks for posting!

[FartMaster4000]

Did anyone else think the ending seemed rather... Unsettling?

I mean, it seemed rather implied that Alice had her head chopped after rather than her waking up from a dream.

[FoamSoap]

Haha.

I've never thought of it that way.

:D I agree.

[trinitymplayers]

Well, technically, this wasn't the ending to this version. It was adapted from a Broadway production which combined the two Alice books ALICE IN WONDERLAND and THROUGH THE LOOKING-GLASS, the first act following the beginning of LOOKING-GLASS with Alice going through the mirror, then following WONDERLAND from Alice meeting the Rabbit up to the end of the trial scene. The second part resumes LOOKING-GLASS with Alice meeting the Red Queen, and going on to her capturing the Red Queen and waking.

[fivebearrugs]

I remember that ending...there's a party with characters from both books and she shakes the Red Queen...

[Elayna101101101]

This Is CRAP

[crosseyedblender]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA everything about this smells of arts and crafts

[longman718]

Preety good.

[timedragontheater]

what is the creature on the bench is it the dormouse . Dont be nervous or ill have you executed on the spot lol what a great quote

[pgy002]

Good, but WHY put the Queen of HEARTS in green?

[wheresolive]

I think they did it to avoid confusion with the Red Queen, who is often conflated with the Queen of Hearts even though they are completely different characters.

[XxMissNoNamexX]

HE STOLE THOSE TARTS!

Could NOT contain my laughter.

Ahem, anyway, it IS really really accurate. It's pretty much the book, moving. Great.

I love that book...

[quala13]

The actor for the white rabbit is horrible in my opinion...

[ballikid23]

amazing costumes

[tacomandie]

dude, the girl that played alice looks like my cousin

[pgy002]

The King seems MORE in charge than the Queen in this one!

[blondeisius]

Haha! "Begin at the beginning and continue to the end...then stop"

[fancyfreeistheway2b]

I Had The Pleasure of meeting Austin Pendleton At a Reasturant in Manhattan while i was celebrating a friends 50th Birhday! And let me tell you what a sweetheart this man is..he came over wish my friend a happy birthday let us take a picture with him..and as we were leaving ..he stood up to say goodnite and asked what was good on the menu lmao!talk about A Real person!

[jdewbre]

I got to meet him as well, at a screening of "Skidoo" here in Dallas, and I can attest to everything you said about him. I think it was nice of him to come at all, considering how terrible of a movie "Skidoo" is.

[rafflesia]

Wow--and that's exactly how I'd imagine he'd be! That's a wonderful story. I would LOVE to meet him.

[rafflesia]

Ha ha ha..hey this is cool. ^^ I love the "HE STOLE THOSE TARTS!" too. XD

[BugsM0ney]

I like the '72 version cuz its the only one i remember..the acting was better and the costumes were original..but Kate Burton is hot lol

[JaliceJally]

LOL this was pretty good. I laughed and went back several times to listen to HE STOLE THOSE TARTS!!!

I like Miranda Richardson as the queen from the 1999 version better, though, mainly because of her voice :P

I haven't seen a whole lot of "alices" that kept my attention, but this is definately one!

[Raven9940]

This has always been my favorite version, and by far the most faithful to the book if nothing else for the costume/production design. And you're right, Austen Pendleton screaming is the best part!!!!

[jdewbre]

I'm glad someone agrees!

[Raven9940]

its true a lot of people don't understand this adaptation, but it does have a faithful following of people who see it for what it really is. I saw this on tape when I was 3 (I'm 25 now) and I never forgot it ever!!

[schmeezies]

if you were 3 when this came out, you would be 28....

[Raven9940]

Like I said I saw it on tape, years after it aired on tv

[pgy001]

Thanks SOOOOO much for uploading this!
