Viewing Notes

Second movie in Justin’s Christmas movie marathon, the Japanese stop motion animated version of this story in its original Japanese which I hadn’t seen (only watched the English dub). It’s really a take on Alice in Wonderland mashed with Wizard of Oz done in Rankin Bass style. Cool movie.
