Synopsis
Based on the 1865 book by Lewis Carroll, this is the classic Disney animated version of Alice's adventures as she follows a white rabbit into a 'Wonderland' of her own imagination. On her journey, she encounters the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and a host of other beloved characters brought to life with the usual Disney zest. Combining stellar animation with upbeat songs such as 'I'm Late', ALICE IN WONDERLAND garnered an Academy Award nomination for 'Best Scoring of a Musical Picture'.

Customer Reviews

The weirdest film I've ever seen?
Alice In Wonderland isn't your average Disney film. It starts off with the posh girl singing with the plants in some park and then daydreams and is sucked into a loopy world where she goes through hundreds of doors and meets loads of odd characters ranging from the loveable white rabbit, the annoying mad hatter and the funny Queen of Hearts.

It's not a disney film that I'd recommend for those just getting into disney as it lacks the innocence and you really have to watch it to understand it whereas the true classics are just great forms of escapism as well as wonderful films. This one however may indeed leave you in Wonderland wondering what on earth it's all about and questioning whether it was worth the money or not. Buy The Little Mermaid, Mulan, Cinderella, Toy Story, Hercules or Mary Poppins instead if you haven't already as those won't disappoint.

ENTERTAINING DISNEY CLASSIC
On a warm summer afternoon, Alice is playing with her cat when she spots a white rabbit complaining that he is late for something. Curious, Alice follows the Rabbit and falls down the rabbit-hole. When she reaches the bottom of the hole, she finds herself in a crazy world where everything is topsy-turvy. She meets Tweedledee and Tweedledum. She discovers that certain foods can make her grow taller or smaller. She meets the ever-grinning Cheshire Cat. She joins the Mad Hatter and the March Hare in their crazy tea party. Alice finally meets the loud-mouthed Queen of Hearts, who challenges her to a croquet match, which is stopped short when Alice is accused of playing a prank on the Queen. After causing a disruption in her court trial, Alice wakes up, realizing that she had dreamed the whole thing.

Walt Disney, ever since the 1930's, had always wanted to adapt Lewis Carroll's classic books to the screen, but had problems with the story. When he finally got the chance, he was disappointed with the result, and the film, unfortunately, was a box office failure. But the film is entertaining nonetheless. The characters are wonderfully brought to life, just the way Lewis Carroll wrote them. Wonderland is beautifully drawn, with the Disney animators giving it just the right amount of fantasy. The songs (some of which are adaptations of poems found in the ALICE books) are fun, especially "A Very Merry Unbirthday"! The voice talent is perfect, with Kathryn Beaumount (later to become Wendy in Disney's PETER PAN) as Alice, Jerry Colonna as the March Hare, Ed Wynn (at his best) as the Mad Hatter, and Verna Felton (the fairy godmother in Disney's Cinderella, Aunt Sarah in LADY AND THE TRAMP) as the Queen of Hearts. Overall, this is one of Disney's best! Recommended. 10/10.

Down the rabbit hole..
A true disney classic.It holds elements of fatansy, creativity and imagination which modern Disney seems to lack, and that is simply what makes this film so very charming and timeless.
