In general, Batman > Alice, but as much as I love both of these, I have to give the nod to Disney's animated take on Lewis Carroll's literary classic. It's gorgeous to watch, and tremendous fun.

Mask of the Phantasm is a surprisingly solid animated film, but Alice trumps it. The Disney classic has such a wonderful energy to it and a dazzling visual style to boot.

Talking flowers? Puhlease. Anyway, Alice in Wonderland has got to be one of the most boring Disney animated movies I've seen. I'll go with the Batman.

The most enjoyable way to interpret Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is to consider Carroll a kiddy-fiddling, laudanum-loving, math-mocking, Christ-hating, Christ-loving, twisted asshat. The most enjoyable way to watch Alice in Wonderland is while tripping your balls off on cactus. Phantasm phucks it in the phanny.
