...nickel's worth of jukebox tune, which runs about 2¼ minutes, costs 2.2? a minute, he calculated. Buffalo's ten-concert season costs (at two hours for each concert) a little more than half a cent a minute. Black's conclusion: the jukebox player pays about four times as much for his scratchy grind music as he would for live symphonic music. And that is not all, reported Black.

The mock-solemn humor of Carroll's perversely logical nonsense is all but lost in a jazzed-up jangle of gags, violence, slapstick and sticky jukebox ballads. Only rarely, e.g., the scene where Alice (spoken by Kathy Beaumont) meets the hookah-smoking caterpillar (Richard Haydn), does the Disney idiom enrich the fun instead of slanting it down to the comic-strip level...
