What happens

Alice in Wonderland is a 1999 made-for-television film adaptation of Lewis Carroll's books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) and Through the Looking-Glass (1871). It was first broadcast on NBC on February 28, 1999 and then shown on British television on Channel 4. Tina Majorino played the lead role of Alice and a number of well-known performers portrayed the eccentric characters whom Alice meets during the course of the story, including Ben Kingsley, Martin Short, Whoopi Goldberg, Peter Ustinov, Christopher Lloyd, Gene Wilder, George Wendt, Robbie Coltrane and Miranda Richardson. In common with most adaptations of the book, it includes scenes and characters from Through the Looking-Glass. The film won four Emmy Awards in the categories of costume design, makeup, music and visual effects. The film was re-released as a special edition DVD on March 2, 2010. No special features were included; however, the film was restored to its original speed as prior releases suffered from PAL speed-up. A rare behind-the-scenes documentary of the film was released to YouTube in 2019, the 20th anniversary of the film's release. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
