Amazon.co.uk Review
Walt Disney seems to have had a special affection for Lewis Carroll's "Alice" stories. "Alice's Wonderland" (1923), a short about a live-action little girl in a cartoon world, led to his first successful series, the "Alice" comedies (collected on Walt Disney Treasures: Disney Rarities--Celebrated Shorts, 1920s -1960s). During the early '30s, he talked about making an animation/live-action feature of "Alice in Wonderland" with Mary Pickford in the title role. But almost two decades would elapse before Disney released his Alice. It's the most uneven of the classic Disney features, juxtaposing brilliant and dull sequences. The Mad Tea Party, the Queen of Hearts' Croquet Game, and Alice's encounters with the Caterpillar and Cheshire Cat fuse the spirit of Carroll's words, the vitality of the polished animation, and the stylized look and brilliant palette of designer Mary Blair. But the song "I Give Myself Very Good Advice" and the unsatisfying adaptation of "The Walrus and Carpenter" bring the story to a halt. Disney's Alice in Wonderland remains a beloved film, and its better moments are truly magical. --Charles Solomon

Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am completely biased as this is my all time favourite Disney Movie. Alice is also my all time favourite story since my childhood.....there are many versions of it and to be frank, I pretty much like them all. This however, I love for its beautiful innocence and the blu ray doesnt disappoint....the clarity of the picture is truly amazing the colours outstanding and there is a ton of extras......Just love it!
Format:Blu-ray|Amazon Verified Purchase
One of Disney's very best animated features looks even more stunning now than ever on Blu-ray. I was amazed at how sharp the picture quality was and how vibrant the colours were when I first played it, it's almost hard to believe this was made in 1951... The special features are wonderful too, a must watch if you're a Lewis Carroll/Alice fan. My only complaint is the 4:3 aspect ratio which means two ugly black borders on both sides of the screen. This is the first time I've watched a Blu-ray in 4:3 and I suspect Bambi might be the same. If not for that, I would've given this 5 stars.

A travesty.
The film is great. The quality, also, is great.
However, how can a BluRay release, in the age of widescreen televisions, be stuck at 4:3?! Read more

Fall right down that rabbit hole!
Alice in Wonderland has to be one of the better known Disney classics, particularly thanks to the updated spin-off starring Johnny Depp, but I think it's criminally underated! Read more

Underrated Classic

Alice in wonderland
I bought this film as it is one of my disney favourites but for some reason when I bought it I put it on and it seems to be playing back to front. The scenes are all mixed up.
