I have that on tape as well...Carol as the White Queen.
My favorite was her voiceover as the mouse in Thumbelina.

The Mother in Mamma Mia

Maggie in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," although I suspect that she would be astonishing as Big Mama!

or how about as Effie?

There's something about a crusty and lispy "and im telling you" that gets me going.

The pictures you posted are soooooo big because Ms. Channing is BIGGER THAN LIFE! I always wanted to see Carol do "A Call From the Vatican".

Alice in Wonderland/Alice Through the Looking Glass is an amazing video. Carol Channing is AMAZING as the White Queen. I have this on VHS and it is so wonderful. "Jam tomorrow, jam yesterday, but never ever jam today!" Also, "Can you do addition? What is 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 1 and 2?......Forget your slumbers, recall your numbers, just add up the list. Just think of pluses and the minuses, they're sure to clear you sinuses, we simply must insist!"

Carol Channing rocks!

Steve Lawrence and Eydie Gorme as Tweedle-dum and Tweedle-dee are also classic. And Sammy Davis Jr. as the caterpillar, and Jayne Meadows as the Queen of Hearts.
