As a relatively conservative parent when it comes to what I will allow my children to watch, I give this one two thumbs up. Although I could have done without the smoking, name calling, and head bonks, overall, it's pretty harmless, and thoroughly entertaining. What I liked most is that the entire movie occurs inside of a dream, which is a good way to address with young children, these are all behaviors/things we don't do in real life. You can control a lot of what happens in real life, you cannot control what happens in your dreams. For my family, this movie has led to several great discussions on why smoking is harmful, how name calling is hurtful, and what kind of things we each dream about. The music is also wonderfully charming, and I enjoy how Alice is self sufficient in the movie....although she goes with strangers, and eats foods she probably shouldn't...at least she is not dependent on a man to achieve happiness!

If you're trying to find some (mostly) harmless entertainment for a 4+ kid, this is perfect for you. You may have noticed that a lot of movies on this site are for 8+, so it is hard to find stuff for the very young. Especially with Tim Burton's "Alice" out now, younger kids may be "curiouser", and this Disney telling is very safe. The only think I'd like to mention is, in the scene with the "Walru s and the Carpenter", the Walrus ends up eating some oysters he's just befriended. And thay are awfully cute in the Disney-anthropomorphic way. Because of this, I thought for sure he wouldn't eat them...but he did (off-screen). My 5 year old didn't seem to mind though.

Fantastic. I loved it. The songs, the whole story....amazing. That said, I bet you're all wondering if there's anything really bad. Not really. A caterpillar smokes through a gian pipe. Obvious that he's in a bad mood, no doubt cause he smokes. (Jk) Some funny threats of "Off with their heads!" from the Queen of Hearts, but the only thing slightly disturbing about the whole thing is how flippant she is with the punishment.

the only scene that should makes it pg is when the cattapilar smokes, also this might give kids odd dreams, kids 5+

This is the story of a young girl who discovers drugs. She starts taking them and in the end they solve all of her problems. overall great lessons for kids to learn. Remember kids any problem caused by PCP can be solved with Cocaine.

This is a fabulous movie for kids about 4 and up, who already talk about having dreams and generally love the world of phantasy! Others may be a bit scared of the queen and the idea of getting lost in a magic forest, so try it, but as always, watch your kids reactions. Our little one is 3 and a half and we are extremely picky with what she watches. She laughed out loud during the famous Un-Birthday Party! The queen, however, almost ruined the movie for us, as she was infamously screaming: Off with their heads! many times. She was quite scary for our little one, so next time we'll fast-forward her, but the rest of the movie was worth it for us. It added to our little one's already developed imagination and our puppet theater topics. We are glad we introduced it, we talk about it a lot, but our girl doesn't ask to watch it again, we read the book instead.

Some things in this movie are too intense for the under 5 crowd. My 4 year old was disturbed by the Queen of Hearts and wondered why Alice was so scared. We watched it once and took it back to the video store.
