I'm all for pedagogy, but this is so tiresome. I was attending kids' movies in 1969. Cartoons, especially. It does not surprise me now that I've never heard of this film.
The execution by Chuck Jones is often quite clever, but the hidden agenda isn't hidden. It's non-stop moralizing without a hint of subtlety.
I suspect that the book on which the film is based may be fairly effective after a fashion, a sub-Alice fashion.
