Lewis Carroll's beloved fantasy tale is brought to life in this Disney animated classic.

If you wander down a rabbit hole into the land of make-believe and nibble on cookies not meant for humans, it [makes] little difference how the episodes are linked. The important characters are there, and they are amusing. Go to Full Review
Robert Hatch The New Republic Jan 9
It is a piece of brassy, empty-headed slapstick that makes the same use of Carroll's sentiment and wit that a baby would make of a Dresden shepherdess: bang it about and break it to bits. Go to Full Review
Helen Bower Detroit Free Press Jan 9
All this makes for comedy and an agreeable lightness to match such delicacy and charm as that of the picture's floral sequence and the underwater ballet of the Little Oysters. Go to Full Review
Lillian Blackstone Tampa Bay Times Jan 9
When one... [imagines] just what must be done, and how many pictures made, to get the effects of Alice in Wonderland, it leaves him breathless. But even this is forgotten as the picture unwinds with a realism that is almost uncanny. Go to Full Review
Ezra Goodman Illustrated Daily News (Los Angeles) Jan 9
"Alice in Disneyland" is in the best Disney tradition of cuteness, sentimentality and pastel-toned animation. It stresses the wacky as much as the witty and strives valiantly but not always successfully to capture the fragile nonsense of Carroll's words. Go to Full Review
W. Ward Marsh Cleveland Plain Dealer Jan 9
The color is a constant and steady visual thrill. The depths achieved in many scenes are greater than I remember in "Disney" before and all the major characters are not only voiced but given proper emotion, temperament and personification. Go to Full Review

Victoria @Victoria13 4d While the story lacks at times the animation is so gorgeous I want to give it 5 stars See more Dannon M @danos Dec 20 Wow, watching this as an adult is truly mind blowing! Life just giving this poor girl uppers and downers and all rounders. On another note if you want to feel like Alice do your safe a favor and stop by Meow Wolf. See more Kevin P Dec 17 One of Disney's most iconic movies that holds up better than I remember. It captures the nonsensical absurdity of the book. The film's artwork is filled with crazy trippy visuals about nonsense. The characters of wonderland range from fun to obnoxious, all very memorable. I love the creative visuals and chaotic frantic pacing with this dreamlike episodic story of unforgettable vignettes. Alice herself is very likable and inquisitive with some great voice acting that makes her a great foil to all the madness around her. I loved the Walrus & the Carpenter scene. I loved the surreal flower & bird song sequences. I loved the dreamlike surreal quality of the setting with the vibrant colors, slanted angles, and black backgrounds. The Queen of Hearts is a very entertaining villain with a booming voice that goes back and forth between being incredibly intimidating and childish. I love how she could just snap at any moment. I appreciate all the creative artistry this movie has to offer. See more Arid S Dec 10 An enlightened individual created the script for this film, its way ahead of its time, and more than relavent today in 2025.
