Disney's ALICE cartoon remains the best adaptation of the two famous novels. Maybe the Robert Halmi production team was right in trying a different approach to these old stories, as this two-part ALICE is if nothing else watchable on a rainy Saturday night. It is painfully obvious ALICE is a low-budget Canadian job, and Canadian TV mainstay Matt Frewer is on hand as the White Knight to drive home the point. If you can get beyond this, what we have here is an adult Alice being sucked into Wonderland and facing much political intrigue built around a mystical ring Alice has wisely hidden. Frewer, one of the worst actors on this or any other planet, actually isn't all that bad as the dotty, Quixote-ish White Knight. At the very least, this TV flick isn't any worse than any other fantasy TV movie one sees on NBC or The Hallmark Channel. And it is a cut above anything previously seen on the SciFi Channel.
