Alice In Wonderland (1933)
This black-and-white kiddie movie mashes together Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass (as, really, nearly all Alice film versions seem to do, most likely because the Tweedles are simply too cool to leave out). It features some pretty big actors of the day (W. C. Fields, Cary Grant)...and stuffs them into costumes that will haunt your dreams. (In their infinite wisdom, the makers of this cast Cary Grant, the single handsomest man ever to grace Hollywood, as the Mock Turtle, in a costume that COMPLETELY COVERS HIS FACE.) This was such a flop that it put future live-action fantasy in doubt. Yes, friends, if saner heads at MGM hadn't prevailed, this film might have retroactively torpedoed The Wizard of Oz.

Completely covering Cary Grant's face... LOL.
