Curious Alice

1971, 11min

Aimed at eight to ten-year old school children, this drugs warning retelling of Alice in Wonderland was created by the US National Institute of Mental Health. A young Alice tries out things in her mother's bathroom cabinet that lead her down the hole into Drug Wonderland with trippy animation. She encounters a King of Hearts hawking heroin, Mad Hatter tripping on LSD, a hookah-smoking Caterpillar, Dormouse on barbiturates and the March Hare on speed! Alice tells them off, “You live in this beautiful place. It could be wonderland! And all you do is … take drugs!” But it seems way too much fun.
