Alice of Wonderland in Paris

     This somewhat obscure animated feature is a pleasant anthology of popular tales from children's literature. It depicts everything from Anatole to Madeline, with Paris as the central theme, strung together by a wraparound "featuring" a very British Alice.

Comment:
    My husband picked this movie up at a resale shop for our 2.5 year old daughter who loves her videos. We get sick of seeing Clifford and Arthur over and over and over! The animation is very simplistic and admittedly has nothing to do with Wonderland, but the stories and the execution are very cute and engaging. All of the Madeline stories are referenced if not completely told, and it also includes The Frowning Prince and the story of Princess Lenore who demands to have the moon for herself. The stories all have good messages where it is the children who come up with the best solutions in the end. If you have a small child and can find this movie, I highly recommend it! (the cover of our dvd looks different, like the mislabeled "Alive in Paris" listing here on Amazon, but it is the same movie.)
