Common Sense Note

Parents need to know that this 1972 adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice's Aventures in Wonderland is not as frightening as some interpretations -- if simply because this Alice has a mind of her own. Alice saves a baby after the Duchess bounces it so hard that it cries terribly. Of course there's a lot of "Off with her head!" talk from the queen, but no heads roll.

Sexual Content

Not applicable.

Violence

A scary moment after Alice meets Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum: the sky turns dark and an enormous crow emerges from a storm. In the next scene, the Duchess bounces a poor (real) baby so hard that it cries terribly. Alice removes the baby from the home, saying "If I don't take this child away, they will kill it." A lot of "Off with her head!" talk from the queen, but no heads roll.

Language

Alice drinks strange draughts that make her change size and nibbles on mushrooms likewise. The caterpillar smokes an elaborate hookah pipe.
