Whether it was the New York Times who criticized the pacing, Variety calling out the missing ingredients of heart or warmth, or Lewis Caroll fans pointing at the House of Mouse for muzzling the authors beloved creation, the time-honored rendition didnt have an initial stellar run at the box office.
