Summary: One of My Favorites
Review: I have loved this ALICE IN WONDERLAND since childhood, so perhaps I am biased...but I simply cannot agree with those who find it one of Disney's lesser movies. The witty dialogue, the delightful songs, the brilliant vocal acting from the entire cast (Ed Wynn does the voice of the Mad Hatter: how clever!), and (last but not least) the splendidly bright colors all seem to perfectly evoke the whimsical mood of the original Lewis Carroll tale.
If you do like the movie, I would recommend also buying the soundtrack CD (which is, admittedly, a bit hard to find right now), because the cleverness of the score is easier to appreciate when heard on its own, without the visuals. Enjoy!

Summary: New Edition Coming
Review: Just a quick note here - if you are thinking of purchasing a copy of Alice in Wonderland now, just wait a little longer.

As of January 27, 2004, Disney is doing a "Special Edition", two disc DVD release that will be similar to thier recent reissue of Sleeping Beauty.

With all of the features that will be on that DVD, people who buy this DVD now will be disappointed if they don't wait.

Disney will be including all of the "Making of", pre-production art, and other features that make their new "Special Editions" great, to this new edition.

There are three other "Special Editions" due in 2004 - Mary Poppins, Lilo and Stitch, and Pocahontas. Alice will be the first released in 2004. Also, there's the "Platinum" edition of Aladdin in October 2004. Worth waiting for in my opinion. You have been warned. :-)

Summary: My favorite Disney film!
Review: FINALLY!!! I have been waiting for this to be "cleand up" and put in 5.1 surround and/or DTS. This by far is my favorite Disney film. In it's release date, 1951, it was hugely criticized. I believe I once read that Walt himself had apologized to the American public for it, but that was probably the "times" back then. There are so many messages and references here, this wrapped up around Lewis Carroll's original story with Disney's great animation that many people will agree with me... you may love it or hate it, but it's definitely not a boring flick. :)

Summary: its a great movie, but wait until 2004 for the 2-disc ver.
Review: I love this movie, i had it on VHS from the 80s, however, it got wrecked, i was going to buy this gold collection version, however, when i bought Sleeping Beauty Special Edition on DVD, it came with a booklet and said that in sometime in 2004. Disney will reissue this film in a 2-disc special edition. The 2-disc will probably show the film im widescreen. So everyone If u can wait, save your money for the 2-disc special edition of this film! Alice in wonderland is a great movie, i highly recommend it!

Summary: Alice in Wonderland (1951)
Review: Disney's version, although not as true to the original atmosphere and storyline of the books, is a delightful family feature. Kathryn Beaumont's voice performance is very sweet and sympathetic. The animation in this film is spectacular, bringing
the colour of the characters to life. The music score and songs
will get the kiddies going, and has a sensible charm that will also entertain the adults too. Overall, a nice movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not really like Lewis Carroll's Story...
Review: The only version of "Alice" that I thought was pretty decent with the original book was HallMark's. This film is missing the The 'False' turtle, the stealing of the tarts, and Alice wasn't "curioser" about the Beautiful garden, here she was looking for the white rabbit which was no the real story.

Note: For those who want to know, Lewis carroll was not on drugs, did not have relations with a young girl or anything, he got these sights and wonders from a toy box, where he saw all of his playing cards, dolls, and other games and toys. A little girl was Lewis' inspiration for this book.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Film!
Review: Alice in Wonderland is a great family film! It starts when Alice starts dreaming and goes into a world of wierd creatures, the Mad Hatter, March Hare, Chesire Cat, the Queen of Hearts, Dodo,the Caterpillar, and of course, the White Rabbit. Kids will love this classic! Definitely a video for YOUR collection!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: mystery
Review: i wounder if the writer was doing drugs. I tried reading about writer of the original book but it doesnt mention anything of useful information. It talks about the writer having a relationship with a young girl.
Where would he get these visions from?

Summary: Disneys first true stinker
Review: Disney is famous for creating wonderful characters and amazing stories. Many of there movies have done this well. They still continue to do this with recent jems like Lilo and Stitch and Treasure Planet. Along the way Disney has made a few bad ones a few stinkers with horrible unmemerable characters and stupid stories. This was there first. Alice in Wonderland is not the worst Disney film ever but it is close. It involes a girl named Alice gets traped in a place called wonderland. Nothing makes sense she walks through it. Rather then befriending some of these weird characters and saving this world from some distaster she simply walks through meeting one annoying character after another accomplishing nothing, learning nothing, just getting annoyed in a world of jerks and idiots. I don't recomend this for children or adults. It is too rude for children and way too stupid for adults. Pass up this stinker and enjoy Disneys other classics.
