Follow the white rabbit Neo - no sorry, I mean Alice
I just spent a couple of hours looking at this wonderful movie and the extra features.

Follow the white rabbit Neo - no sorry, I mean Alice, 22 Jul 2004
I just spent a couple of hours looking at this wonderful movie and the extra features. The aptly named Masterpiece Edition is worth every penny, and like The Matrix, should be included in any movie collection, whether you have a child to hide behind or not.Beautifully adapted and animated from Lewis Carroll's highly imaginative, high-trippin' classic, the imagery and illustrated puns amaze and amuse, especially the little things like the rocking-horse fly, the bread-and-butter flies, the vultures, the pencil and hammer birds, the momeraths, and the bird in the tree (Queenie Leonard) yelling "Ser-peeeeeeeent !" The animators drew each frame based on the portrayals by the actors voicing the parts, and the stand-outs are Kathryn Beaumont as Alice, Ed Wynn as the Mad Hatter, Verna Felton as the Queen of Hearts, Bill Thompson as the White Rabbit, and the very flexible and versatile J. Pat O'Malley as Tweedle Dum, Tweedle Dee, the Walrus AND the Carpenter, in one of the best scenes in the movie. With fourteen songs, this is the most musical Disney around, but unfortunately, the songs are not very easy to sing along to, making me sound like William Hung every time I try to impress people with my thorough knowledge of the lyrics. There are lots of interesting tidbits in the extras, such as the discarded Cheshire Cat song, and the fact that one of the songs was later re-worded for Peter Pan. There are other links between Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan, but you'll have to watch the extras to find out just what, cause I'm not telling. For those who don't want to watch the previews at the beginning of the DVD, just press "Menu" and get plugged directly into Wonderland. Amanda Richards, July 18, 2004

More Disney than Carroll, 9 Feb 2002
An entertaining and inventive interpretetion of Lewis Carroll's book, albeit one which neglects most of the author's clever logic-play in favour of mere absurdity. Certainly not the definitive version of the book - which has yet to be made - but a fun film.
Incidentally the studio's attitiude towards the source text might be guessed at by the fact that the opening credits not only get the name of the book wrong - they also mis-spell the author's name!

Beautiful, surreal escapism encased by true Disney magic!, 25 Oct 2000
This classis adaptation of the Lewis Carroll novel is absolutely stunning. It combines the surreal with the musical style so reminiscent of the 50's - very upbeat and charmingly dated. All of the characters are hilarious, particularly the Walrus and the Carpenter, and the Cheshire Cat, and the scene with the Queen of Hearts and the playing cards is just fantastic. A perfect late night - early morning post-night out watch, it is fab visually and a very feel-good movie. Highly recommended.

Wonderland awaits......................Come in !!!!!, 30 Jan 2005
When i was a little girl, (I'm fourteen now) Alice in Wonderland was my favourite film (besides the little mermaid) I had a lot of disney videos as a child but this shines through all of them.I love the sheer beauty of the way the characters have been made and the voice of Alice is perfect. I'ts an indescribable film. For a mere few hours, you can get lost in wonderfully strange world of wonderland. No wonder Gwen Stefani chose to do Alice in Wonderland for her What you waiting for video !!!!!!!!! Wonderland awaits you..........so what you waiting for? Come on in !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Acid in Wonderland, 22 Mar 2005
First time i saw this movie i was about 6 or 7 years old and it became one of my favorite cartoons.
Then i watched it last night (Im 24 now) and it was more intresting than the first time.
I think Alice in Wonderland is a pure acid trip story, check the colors, voices, the worm with the bong and that mushroom (Magic mushroom maybe) she ate that made her big and small ??????? and also that weird cat.
This movie is made in a way that makes any one who watches it love it.

Another Disney Classic, 13 Sep 2009
I purchased this product and within 3 days it had arrived in better condition than stated so I was VERY pleased. The film itself is another shining example of the genius work at Disney. The colour and animation are once again perfect, the humour and fun of the film makes it watchable for all ages and thre seems to be a timeless quality to it. For any Lewis Carrol, Disney, or just cartoon fan, this is a must have.
