Во время одного из уроков на природе они обнаруживают асфальтовую дорогу и становятся свидетелями аварии грузовика с цистерной, который перевозил химические отходы.

Приключения Алисы в Стране Чудес

Очень красочная, с масштабными декорациями экранизация сказки Льюиса Кэрролла "Алиса в Стране чудес".

За одной из дверей загадочной комнаты она видит прекрасный сад, но но не может туда попасть, так как дверца, ведущая туда, слишком мала. Алиса переживает несколько волшебных превращений, когда она то сильно вырастает, то уменьшается. Путешествуя по волшебной стране, девочка встречается со сказочными существами, населяющими её: Белым Кроликом, Герцогиней, Чеширским Котом, участвует в Безумном чаепитии у Мартовского Зайца вместе с Болванщиком и Соней. В конце концов она входит в прекрасный сад... От других постановок эту отличает «звёздный» состав британских актёров кино и театра.
