Plot

The movie starts off with a bored Alice trapped in her house by a snow storm. Much of the film consists of Alice (Janet Waldo) and a jester named Tom Fool (Townsend Coleman) journeying through some of the incidents of the novel, while ultimately, the film is more about Alice finding an imaginary friend in Tom Fool than the novel's themes of logic, illogic, and reversal. She encounters Heffalumps, rock-throwing cavemen, Ed Sullivan, The Marx Brothers (Hal Rayle) and Humpty Dumpty (George Gobel). There is also a man made entirely out of newspaper, a talking horse and a talking goat. When Alice wakes up, her father plays a game of chess with her, which her dream journey was based on, walking from square to square on a large chessboard.

gollark: Working from a really weird set of assumptions?
gollark: Besides, caring deeply *and* spending lots of time on investigating stuff and whatever doesn't mean people will share your values.
gollark: But "care deeply" can mean that you feel very strongly about something like "people of the same gender MUST NOT EVER MARRY ÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆÆA MY TRADITIONA L VALUES", not that you, I don't know, are interested in politics lots and know everyone involved in the government and follow all the parliamentary twitter feeds.
gollark: You see, lots of people are actually really stupid and/or have significantly different values.
gollark: Scarier possibility: what if the people voting for them DO care, a lot, and genuinely think that the people they vote for have better policy or something?
