Mystery Of The Third Planet (1981, Roman Kachanov)

Hmmm. Redubbed Russian space adventure anyone?
The things you find. A trio of astronauts go off in search of rare animals, fall foul of double dealing types, find an hat that can make one of them invisible and basically traipse all over the place with no helmets in sight. Hmmm. Just under 50 minutes, so it wasn't that taxing tbh.

Naturally me having the three disc directors cut edition means no Tell Tale Heart.

Alice in Wonderland. (1951)
May just be me of course. But you never seem to here much about Disney's version of Alice In Wonderland, not in the same hush tones that people wax lyrical about Bambi and Fantasia that is...Not having read Lewis Carrols story, I could not possibly comment on how accurate the Disney version is, but knowing them they would of taken some liberties with the story and such...All the characters are present and correct of course like all Disney movies there is copious amounts of singing, some songs are catchy others just irritating...Not surprising there is an air of psychedelic imagery as Alice is knocking back bottles to down size, so she can get through small key holes while chasing a white rabbit with a pocket watch, coming across pipe smoking caterpillars and not to mention chewing on magic mushrooms....There are many highlights, including the Mad Hatters tea party, and Alice is wonderfully realised and voice acted brilliantly by Kathryn Beaumont...The animation reminded me a lot of early Looney Tunes cartoons rather than the usual doe eyed Disney characters, especially the Queen of Hearts, who loves decapitation and playing croquet using flamingos and some sort of rodent as a ball...its no wonder John Lennon was influenced by Lewis Carrol, and Alice In Wonderland when writing I am The Walrus, well it was either that or the the LSD....
