i think this movie pretty much shaped me into the person that i am today. when i was a kid, i loved reading, and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was my favorite book of all-time. i probably saw the movie before i read the book, but the first time i remember actually seeing it was definitely after. it just stunned me. it gave me a deep love for animation and surrealist imagery. i even still own my mom's copy on vhs, which i never actually watched since we never had a vcr. i have such an unbelievably deep love for this movie, book, and many adaptations that i come across (do NOT ask me about tim burton's though i HATE it...). i'd say an honorable mention is Gregg Araki's Nowhere (1997), which i saw for the first time when i was 16. that movie is still my all-time favorite to this day, and started my deep love for watching movies, but i don't think i'd love it as much as i do if i hadn't experienced the weirdness from Disney's Alice in Wonderland. absolutely shaped me as a person
