78/100 I never have much to say about short films, but this is a decent enough adaptation of Lewis Carrol's novel. Of course, a few of the crewmembers are cut out, but the most colourful among the cast are kept around. You have to make changes somewhere. I like the animation style on this one, it's very fluid and kind of cute. The characters are very childish, of course, and as a result very expressive in how they behave and their personalities. I'm not sure why the Bandersnatch's attack on the Banker is a dream sequence here, but as I said, changes are inevitable. In the end, this isn't much of anything other than entertainment, but I don't feel it has to be. It's quick, simple and fun, and since it doesn't try to be anything else, I can respect that and I'd highly recommend it.
