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

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

Eponine (imagine the ovation after her death scene!)
I ask in all honesty/What would life be?/Without a song and a dance, what are we?/So I say "Thank you for the music/For giving it to me."

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!
