The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland Reviews

Strictly for small children, this animated feature will bore anyone over the age of puberty. It might also enrage anyone with a knowledge of movies as it poaches many other pictures. This is the third of the CARE BEARS features. Screenwriters John De Klein and Susan Snooks, working from a story by Peter Sauder, have started with Lewis Carroll, stirred in a dollop of L. Frank Baum, and topped it with George Bernard Shaw in order to concoct a treacly sweet souffle that is hard to digest. Alice is the Wonderland princess. When she is dragged through the looking glass by a nefarious wizard who wants to rule, the Bears are called in. The animation is almost crude. The colors have no subtlety, and the movement is herkyjerk. There's plenty of nonviolent "action" and a few John Sebastian tunes. Perfect for the under-six crowd, these cheap animated features make one mourn Walt Disney.
