Quite a feat for a film with little storyline, told episodically with a rather unlikeable main character. Alice is rude and obnoxious but infinitely more interesting than most Disney leads, (good girls and drippy princes). The songs are great, especially the deleted one which you can see on this special edition, "Beyond The Laughing Sky". brWhy Walt Disney felt this was Disney#x27;s weak link and disowned it is beyond me, I love it. Down the rabbit hole.. May 11, 2006 Anon 7 out of 9 found this review helpful 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. br / Exceptional rendition of classic story September 26, 2008 Mr. Thomas Thatcher (Salisbury, UK) 2 out of 2 found this review helpful It is almost unbelievable, but a cursory reading of some of the reviews would suggest that some Amazon customers have not read, or even heard of, the Lewis Carroll classics "Alice Through The Looking Glass" and "Alice In Wonderland." br / br /This film is one of the most mature and thoughtful of all Disney films, and manages to capture some of the dreamy, frightening, enchanting and nightmarish atmosphere of the books. Alice is a children's story in name only: it is best described as a semi-benign nightmare of epic proportions. br / br /Alice's chase down the rabbit hole leads to her encounters with many odd characters culled from both books, from Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee to the Walrus and the Carpenter to the Cheshire Cat and the Caterpillar. Much has been made of the caterpillar with the hookah, not without some justification, one feels, and likewise the Cheshire Cat - all very surreal and distant. When Alice grows very quickly after eating the biscuit, the next 10 minutes of images are beyond all doubt of an extremely lewd nature, and once you have grasped this it becomes very obvious. I am astonished that Disney got away with it as it is so blatant, but it is charmingly done ..... I have always thought this but have seen it suggested elsewhere in print only recently. br / br /The music in the DVD is very good and the voices are just superb. Alice's precise, confused, petulant and adolescent nature is well-captured by the ever-excellent Kathryn Beaumont. Disney Stalwart Pat O'Malley sings and acts his way through the film in superb form (T Dum and T Dee, Walrus and Carpenter)and Sterling Holloway is as classy as ever. Songs that really work are "Unbirthday" "Painting the Roses Red" "Father William" and many others. br / br /Highly recommended, and any film that has one Dink Trout as the King of Hearts gets my vote. Probably the closest Disney ever came to getting the right "feel" to a film and in places this is actually pretty subversive. Watch it again with a very open mind .............. twee it ain't. Great Movie June 6, 2005 8 out of 18 found this review helpful This is one of my favorite animated movies of all time. The first time i saw this movie i was a child, the second time i saw it was a year ago im now 24 and i enjoyed it even more because i think that Alice was high on something (LCD, MAGIC MUSHROOM) during the whole film. I think this film is a very big hallucination trip. Alice in Wonderland is a cool topic! September 1, 2005 2 out of 23 found this review helpful Alice in Wonderland is a good book I ever read in my lifetime. In this book, Alice is actually seeing a dream or I suppose her mother is telling her a story and suddenly Alice sees a dream, Ya!that's it. And , She first follows the rabbit ,and she sees a glass table in which the first object she sees is "Drink me" and so when she drinks it she becomes small enough to enter the small door.And another time she saw "Eat me" and it was a lovely chocolate cake(I suppose)that when Alice saw it , she was mouth watered. so she ate it and she became big enough and and and....... sees the mushroom and on top of that the cat, then she wanders in the place where she meets the cards and the queen of cards... Oh, what interesting story it makes altogether. Howewer, this story is actually written by Lewis Caroll, my favourite author. Have you ever read this book?Come on , you can even see it in a CD.
