Yes and the girl that they got to play Alice was very good. She was a little bit older then the character she was nine during the time of filming and she had to wear a wig because her hair colour is brown. But I agree this is the best version of the movie.
She did do good and looked like she was having fun. As for her age, even though it's said that Alice is 7 and a half, Natalie Gregory was actually 10 when this movie came out.
I watched this over and over again as a child too! This scene was my favorite. I loved the way his soft shoe sounded with the leaves. Anytime I walk on a surface that sounds like this I tap a bit and think of this scene, even today at 34 years old.
I really really really need to download this movie!!!!!! It was our favorite movie growing up! My lil sister and I would watch it over and over! we had every singing and dancing performances memorized and would perform them in our living room!!!! We recorded it from tv on to a VHS but we no longer have it! :( Who knows where I can find it?
Talia Urquhart Sorry, for being 3yrs late, but if you haven't found this movie yet. You can buy it or order it on dvd from Walmart or Barnes Noble. I found the dvd for $5 bucks at Wal-Mart few years ago. This is my fav Alice n Wonderland movie. I loved watching it when I was a child as well. We had it on vhs but the tape wore out. So I was extremely excited to find it when I did!!!!😂 Love Sammy Davis, Jr dressed up as caterpillar and other characters.
+sliat1981 She would've, because film makers encourage scenes like this to be fun for the cast. It's rare for film makers to not make scenes like this fun otherwise.
I'm sure she knew who he was and his significance by that point; and the smiles and kiss at the end were genuine. Like she was thrilled to bits to be working with all this talent. She played her part perfectly and the shrugs were funny.
Natalie Gregory? She also starred in the Disney film Oliver & Company as the voice of Jennifer Foxworth, and in the Walt Disney World Resort's Epcot theme park attraction Cranium Command as Annie. That was about it tho.. shame cuz she really is amazing!
My adopted dad was old school he was in is 50s when he adopted me, when I did start watching tv and stuff like that this was one of my favorites and pippy long stocking the original lmao I love this one tho I had both parts.
To be fair, I think the costumes were an attempt to depict Father Williams and the boy. Why they made them look like Ben Franklin and the lost Von Trapp child, the world may never know..
oh my gosh! i didn't know this was Sammy Davis Jr!! i have this on video and watched it when i was a kid.. just then saw this other clip of Sammy and i was thinking how familiar he looked so i did a little search and came to this vid!!! COOL!! I rem watching this as a kid and thinking how annoying Alice was loll and i didnt realize this movie is quite old.
An excellent scene and by FAR the best part of this 3+ hour monstrosity. Even in his 70's Sammy could groove. But whats with the random lederhosen costume for Alice? The only time in the entire movie she wears anything other than that dress and it just appears then disappears at the end of the song.
now that I look at the illustration more closely, you are right about the suspenders. but they look like lederhosen on young Gregory. and that hat is some kind of Bavarian hunter cap with a feather and doesnt look anything like the one in the illustration. but yes, clearly they were going for a match with the book illustration. Im just wondering how many people would be familiar enough with that tiny part of the story to understand that. for me it seemed perfectly random and inexplicable. I just assumed it was a lot easier for her to dance in that then in a billowy dress.
Actually it was produced by Irwin Allen (The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno) with a budget for a theatrical release, but he felt it needed to be at least three hours long which would be too long for kids in a theater and thought the story would hurt if he had to wait a year to release part 2. Putting it on TV made more sense and gave him immediate funding. In Europe, where distribution is quite different, he did release it in theaters in two parts about a couple weeks apart.
Ooooookay, he decides to help her with the poem..so he takes a big drag on the hookah and the costumes change and they burst into rap. What the hell was in that hookah? J/K, loved this movie as a kid, still adore the Alice story
Same here and this was always one of my fave parts to, yea there clothes are kinda strange but who really cares besides this is wonderland so it's not that surprising. I just finished watching the seconds part to this and when watching this segment the other day I couldn't help getting in to it as well as half chanting, go Sammy, go Sammy, go Sammy. :)
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS MOVIE FOREVER!! I found Alice in Wonderland on DVD, but had to get Looking Glass on VHS :( Why release one and not the other on dvd ;.;
Great scene ... could never make it today, though. Giant, obvious shroom, hookah, singing about kicking people in the balls, innocent kiss on the lips ... would never fly in today's culture. Fun and love are dangerous and inappropriate now.
The BEST version of Alice in Wonderland hands- down!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm in my mids 40 I was 9 when I saw this for the first time. It was 1984. I love singing so I fell in love with this. Still love.
Yes and the girl that they got to play Alice was very good. She was a little bit older then the character she was nine during the time of filming and she had to wear a wig because her hair colour is brown. But I agree this is the best version of the movie.
I'm impressed at how closely she keeps up with Sammy Davis Jr! For a kid her age, she really was doing 'excellent'!
H uuiiiiiii8899

OMG I DO THE SAME THING
Absolute same
I thought about it when my kids were little when they wouldn't clean like a mix with yakety yak 😂
Same
The end of that tap dancing solo is one of the most satisfying things I've ever heard.
They're really having fun :) This scene makes me smile
I didn't realize as a kid watching this what a legend Sammy Davis Jr was as one of the rat pack. I just knew him as the Caterpillar man.
My parents taped this when it originally aired and I used to watch it all the time. This segment was always my favorite.
Sammy Davis Jr rapping, priceless!!
Love this version! It is also my favorite adaptation of the story. I found it in DVD & now all three of my kids love it as much as me!
this is my absolutely my favorite version of Alice in wonderland
I loved this version of Alice and Wonderland! I need this whole for my kids
Check on Amazon
Now you can find it on UA-cam.

Love Sammy Davis, Jr dressed up as caterpillar and other characters.
@@yvonnevincens2066 try looking at amazon they might have it. I have a copy of mine from E bay a couple of years ago, maybe you should start there.
Natalie look like she had great fun filming that

love this movie I was in kindergarten in 1985 when it came out. the mushroom and Sammy is the best part
R.I.P. Singer,Actor, Tap Dancer and Rat Pack Member Sammy Davis, Jr. (1925-1990).
I LOVE THIS! AWESOME FOOTWORK BY SAMMY DAVIS.
She made such a cute li'l Alice!! And this was a great scene...
That's some jam you have there
You can’t have jam today. The rule is: Jam tomorrow. Jam yesterday. But never Jam today. 😂
@@hunterolaughlin Who says so? I want my jam now!
@@joaomarcelo7171 It’s a quote from Through the Looking-Glass. I was just joking with you. You can have jam anytime you want.
@@hunterolaughlin I know, but I still want my orange jam... I'm hungry and sad😔
Ahh, I performed this poem today for theatre class and wanted to hear this version again, and here it is. Thanks. :3
i love this movie, this scene was my ultimate fave, ever since i was like seven. Thank you for putting it on youtube.
Sammy Davis JR is a very good tap dancer
This is worthy of Shirley Temple’s caliber.
R.I.P., Sammy Davis Jr.
Ricky M Get the fuck out of here, Pooh’s Adventures supporter.
Best scene in the movie
Natalie Gregory? She also starred in the Disney film Oliver & Company as the voice of Jennifer Foxworth, and in the Walt Disney World Resort's Epcot theme park attraction Cranium Command as Annie. That was about it tho.. shame cuz she really is amazing!
This is an awesome scene. I need to watch this whole movie again sometime soon...
Easily the best part of the movie
@Talia Urquhart: I bought the DVD several years at Target; you may still find it on Amazon or eBay.
My adopted dad was old school he was in is 50s when he adopted me, when I did start watching tv and stuff like that this was one of my favorites and pippy long stocking the original lmao I love this one tho I had both parts.
my parents taped this movie, i used to sing this song, thanx so much for uploading.
This was the first time I ever heard of the jabberwocky so when the dance group came out I was like wth?? 🤣😂
To be fair, I think the costumes were an attempt to depict Father Williams and the boy. Why they made them look like Ben Franklin and the lost Von Trapp child, the world may never know..
oh my gosh! i didn't know this was Sammy Davis Jr!! i have this on video and watched it when i was a kid.. just then saw this other clip of Sammy and i was thinking how familiar he looked so i did a little search and came to this vid!!! COOL!!
I rem watching this as a kid and thinking how annoying Alice was loll and i didnt realize this movie is quite old.
I used to have this movie parts 1 & 2
That was excellent. : )
RIP! Sammy!
😇❤🎶
That kid could act!!!! What happened to her?
She stopped acting at age 15.
One of the world's greatest entertainers.
👌
Period.
That WAS excellent.
An excellent scene and by FAR the best part of this 3+ hour monstrosity. Even in his 70's Sammy could groove. But whats with the random lederhosen costume for Alice? The only time in the entire movie she wears anything other than that dress and it just appears then disappears at the end of the song.
Look at the book - the Young Man wears that same outfit in the illustration.
now that I look at the illustration more closely, you are right about the suspenders. but they look like lederhosen on young Gregory. and that hat is some kind of Bavarian hunter cap with a feather and doesnt look anything like the one in the illustration. but yes, clearly they were going for a match with the book illustration. Im just wondering how many people would be familiar enough with that tiny part of the story to understand that. for me it seemed perfectly random and inexplicable.

I saw few of his movies but I really don't recall watching this.o.matt
Natalie was 9 or 10 during filming. She is an extremely talented actress!!
Talia it was the same with me but my sister watched it all the time but I liked most of the songs.
true...but you have to keep in mind that they had to work with what they had back then.
Love love love
"Ha ha ha ha! That was excellent!"
wow that brings back memories :D
RIP Sammy!
Love
The shooting was before Sammy’s hip replacement, he suffered while filming, he described in his book Why Me
He has a glass eye in real life.
Ooooookay, he decides to help her with the poem..so he takes a big drag on the hookah and the costumes change and they burst into rap. What the hell was in that hookah? J/K, loved this movie as a kid, still adore the Alice story

amazing man he sure was :D
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS MOVIE FOREVER!! I found Alice in Wonderland on DVD, but had to get Looking Glass on VHS :( Why release one and not the other on dvd ;.;
Hmmm...in the US, both parts are on the same DVD...
it looks like this video should be later then only 1985...
Hit It
@angrynostolgiamann12 It's wonderland. Up is down and black is white and you can never have jam today!
@itsFlossy okay okay, Im sorry for the spelling error(s) and the poetry
@Jovanneebighead13 He had a glass eye. They're kind of hard to control you know.
Is this on DVD???
Yup! Amazon!
@angrynostolgiamann12 Alice in Wonderland 1985, did you expect it to be 'normal'? haha
He died in 1990 of throat cancer.
Some of these actors should use more makeup...their human features are too revealing
That was kinda the point as they were all celebrities. lol
Great scene ... could never make it today, though. Giant, obvious shroom, hookah, singing about kicking people in the balls, innocent kiss on the lips ... would never fly in today's culture. Fun and love are dangerous and inappropriate now.
Was this meant to sound like a rap song or some other style of music?
What do you think?
Yes, I hope so is what I think.
Then I think you are ok. Go in peace child you is gonna be alright.
@Tigerwarhawk i apologize, i was young and a jackass
WTF!
@angrynostolgiamann12 eat some of these mushrooms... it will all make complete sense.
when did sammy d die?
@rayblack2004 He died on May 16, 1990.
Wh...
why is the catapillar black?
why is he wrapping?
why is she dressed like a german?
Why's he look like a colonial?
Because it's Sammy Davis Jr! That's why!
Why can't you spell?
@angrynostolgiamann12 Why can't you use proper capitalization? Why can't you spell?
OH MY GOD! this is the most rediculas thing i have ever seen
learn to spell proffessional - dont diss movies you've never seen too
