Mad Tea Party Scene from Dreamchild (1985)

Dreamchild is a 1985 British drama directed by Gavin Millar. It's 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 United States to receive an honorary degree from Columbia University celebrating the centenary of Lewis Carroll's birth.

The film evolves from the factual to the hallucinatory as Alice revisits her memories of the Reverend Charles Dodgson while in her immediate present in the unruly wonderland of Depression-era New York.

In this scene, when Alice is left alone in her hotel room, she begins to hallucinate and sees Mr. Dodgson [played by Ian Holm], and then, later, the Mad Hatter and March Hare. Joining them for their insane tea party, they berate her for being so old and forgetful.

This is just one of four scenes in the movie that feature amazing creature effects by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
