I like it fine, but through its series of madcap events you can almost feel the movie asking you to find it bizarre and inventive and strange and it just never quite reached it for me. Individual moments of the far-less regarded Melody Time charmed and surprised me a lot more than any specific sequence in this movie did. And it's so otherwise plotless that you are missing out a bit if you can never buy into that. Maybe it's a bit of "Seinfeld Isn't Funny," or just plain knowing ahead of time almost all the events of the film. But Alice does feel like a complete artistic creation and like a product that wanted to be made by people that cared, which is a bit more than you can say for the lowest of Disney offerings. Par for the course, it's still sweet and beautifully animated.
