After spending Sunday night at Skip's doing the AVGeeks home version, I was reminded of how I have aways wanted a copy of the haunting 16mm version from Paramount of Alice In Wonderland that was shown to us periodically throughout elementary school. The above particular set of scenes, to me, has remained with me all my life. Halfway thru, once Alice is in the house, the actions and costumes of the cook and nanny and child scarred me. I was sure everytime I saw this scene that the nanny was going to break the child's neck. (Billy Barty was uncredited as the baby, btw)
"Speak roughly to your little boy and beat him when he sneezes. He only does it to annoy because he knows it teases. Wow Wow Wow!" Creepy...
