I grew up in the Italian Riviera in the 60's and my neighborhood had a little church theatre that filled up with children every Sunday afternoon. We didn't have much on TV at that time and I never missed a Sunday afternoon at the theatre! Of all the movies I watched, animated or not, the one that I vividly remember is Alice in Wonderland. Of course I have watched it again in more recent times, but I remember the day my mom took me to see this animated movie and I remember how awestruck I was! I wanted to watch it a second time but my mom wanted to go back home and was not as thrilled as me so I was so disappointed. I absolutely loved the story and I so identified myself with Alice. Like Alice I was a big day dreamer. I lived in my fantastic world populated of fairies and other magical beings. Still today, Alice is one of my favorite stories and it was fun to turn her into one of my little art dolls. My Alice is sold and now lives in California.
