Alice in (Japanese) Wonderland

Rating: Null/10 (7 September 2003)

WATCH THIS NOW!!! This is a truly cracking film. It is the sort of film that I wish that I had seen as a child. It is weird and wonderful, but never feels forced. There is a whole world in this film which is so genuine that you cannot help but suspend your disbelief. Wonderful. See it. BUT BE WARNED!!! This isn't a 'kiddee Disney' film - but it is not a film exclusively for grown-ups, nor is it a film for Jap-cartoon purists who freak that the animators have sold out to Disney, and it definitely isn't a film for ART-SWINE scum, who watch the film subtitled and then talk about it over a glass of wine and a wedge of brie. NO!!! It is Alice in Wonderland!!! It is Bedknobs and Broomsticks!!! Chitty Chitty Bang Bang!!! A childrens story so good that it can be appreciated by grown ups too. Please, don't view it as an art film or a foreign film. It is foreign (to the majority of people who can read this) and has fine art. But you and your brie are embarrassing yourselves. Please leave the Brie at home, view it in your mother tongue, bring some children, or, at the very least, view it as the wonderful kids film that you were born 30 years too late for.
