Wikipedia article
'Alice Through the Looking Glass' is a 1987 Australian-American animated film nominally based on the 1871 novel 'Through the Looking-Glass' by Lewis Carroll. It was directed by Andrea Bresciani and Richard Slapczynski from a screenplay by Jameson Brewer. The film stars the voices of Janet Waldo, Mr. T, Jonathan Winters, Phyllis Diller, George Gobel, Alan Young, Clive Revill, and Townsend Coleman.
Plot
The film starts off with a bored Alice trapped in her house by a snow storm. Much of the film consists of Alice (Janet Waldo) and a jester named Tom Fool (Townsend Coleman) journeying through some of the incidents of the novel, while ultimately, the film is more about Alice finding an imaginary friend in Tom Fool than the novel's themes of logic, illogic, and reversal. She encounters Heffalumps, rock-throwing cavemen, Ed Sullivan, The Marx Brothers (Hal Rayle) and Humpty Dumpty (George Gobel). There is also a man made entirely out of newspaper, a talking horse and a talking goat. When Alice wakes up, her father plays a game of chess with her, which her dream journey was based on, walking from square to square on a large chessboard.
