Quote:
Alice in Wonderland is a 1951 American animated feature produced by Walt Disney and based primarily on Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland with a few additional elements from Through the Looking-Glass. Thirteenth in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series, the film was released in New York City and London on July 29, 1951 by RKO Radio Pictures. The film features the voices of Kathryn Beaumont as Alice (also voice of Wendy Darling in the later Disney feature film, Peter Pan) and Ed Wynn as the Mad Hatter.

Made under the supervision of Walt Disney himself, this film and its animation are often regarded as some of the finest work in Disney studio history, despite the lackluster, even hostile, reviews it originally received, especially in the United Kingdom.

A very good classic, but several flaws

B+

Entertaining, but due to the nature of the source material lacks warmth. Very witty and clever but as all the characters are one note and basically the animated equivalent of SNL characters, it’s hard to get very invested in anything that’s going on outside of Alice, who is a good character but not enough. They needed another straight character in the film for her to work off of.

I liked the trippy visual sequences. And Alice is a likeable enough character. This reminded more of the skit movies than any of the feature lengths though, even Dumbo. Alice wishes for a world where everything is nonsense, gets that and then realizes its not what she, or anyone else, should want at all. Then she wakes up and everything is fine. Great story kids.
