On a warm afternoon Alice falls asleep on the lawn and when she wakes up finds herself catapulted into an unreal and colorful world populated by strange characters and talking animals. Following first a white rabbit and then through a mirror, she will have fantastic adventures, amid clumsy talking chessmen and a shrewish duchess, played by Franca Valeri. When she wakes up, everything will return to normal, leaving her with the memory of a frightening but beautiful dream at the same time.
The series is largely composed of segmented episodes hosted by a bear, and each of these feature one or more creatures. One can learn about a creature’s life and habits during a question and answer phase at the end of each episode. The locations featured vary from sea, land, and sky… and the creatures in question include many kinds of fish, mammals, insects, and birds. On occasion, a featured animal will be presented with its own name, while at other times, creatures will be presented according only to their species.
