A Screening of 'Alice in Wonderland- Part 1'

The Needham Free Public Library will be showing "Alice in Wonderland– Part One" (1985 TV edition- Rated G- 90 min) on Friday, May 28, at 3:30 p.m., in the Community Room.

Sometimes she's too big. Or much too small. Sometimes things are backwards. And there's always too much pepper in the soup. Nothing is quite right since Alice chased a very unusual White Rabbit and stumbled into an adventure that grows more and more curious. One of the greatest childhood fantasies is captured in Irwin Allen's colorful production adapted from Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. 

Part One of this two film set opens with Alice wishing she were old enough to enjoy afternoon tea with all of the grown ups. After going down to the lake she spies a White Rabbit, and follows him down a rabbit-hole and into a kaleidoscope of color and fantasy.  Alice meets many wonderful characters, like the Caterpillar, the Duchess and her eccentric cook, the Mad Hatter, the Mock Turtle, and the Cheshire Cat. Finally after a brush with the head-chopping Queen of Hearts, Alice escapes, only to discover she is in fact trapped on the wrong side of the mirror. 

"Part Two – Alice through the Looking Glass," will be shown on Friday,  June 25 at 2:00 p.m.  This program is sponsored by the Needham Free Public Library.  For further information, call the Library at 781-455-7559.
