‘Dream Child’, ''Starburst'', #81, 1985 Source The sequence involving the caterpillar can be seen here if you’re curious. “A fictionalized account of Alice Liddell, the child who inspired Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The story is told from the point of view of the elderly Alice as she travels to the US to receive an honorary degree from Columbia University on the centenary of Lewis Carroll's birth.” From the film’s wiki, “The film evolves from the factual to the hallucinatory as Alice revisits her memories of the Reverend Charles Dodgson, in Victorian-era Oxford to her immediate present in Depression-era New York. Accompanied by a shy young orphan named Lucy, old Alice must make her way through the modern world of tabloid journalism and commercial exploitation while attempting to come to peace with her conflicted childhood with the Oxford don.” If you’ve never seen this film, give the whole thing a go, it’s a forgotten gem. Here’s film critic Roger Ebert’s review of the film from 1986 to peruse if you needed further convincing.
