Lewis Carroll's beloved fantasy tale is brought to life in this Disney animated classic. When Alice (Kathryn Beaumont), a restless young British girl, falls down a rabbit hole, she enters a magical world. There she encounters an odd assortment of characters, including the grinning Cheshire Cat (Sterling Holloway) and the goofy Mad Hatter (Ed Wynn). When Alice ends up in the court of the tyrannical Queen of Hearts (Verna Felton), she must stay on the ruler's good side -- or risk losing her head.

Critics Consensus

A good introduction to Lewis Carroll's classic, Alice in Wonderland boasts some of the Disney canon's most surreal and twisted images.

Alice In Wonderland is one of Walt Disney's best efforts. He has adhered to the Lewis Carrol classic, adding enough Disney humor to make it a delight for all ages.

The Age (Australia)

Carroll's dream logic seems to liberate the animators: everything is constantly transforming, including prim Alice herself.

Time Out

Disney's frantic take on Lewis Carroll may lack much of the book's illogical charm, but it does contain one of the great proto-psychedelic sequences in cinema.

Alice in Wonderland remains one of the most interesting and unique additions to Disney's early filmography.

Gone With The Twins

What a grand ending too - it's a dream, as viewers knew from the start, but it concludes simply, smartly, and without dwelling on anything unnecessarily.

Rated: 9/10

Aside from the Walrus segment I think it is an amazing artistic achievement by Disney.

Alice In Wonderland (1951) is Disney’s most brilliant creation, by far. Its whimsy and charm pull you into a world of dreams and fantasy that you hope will never end. The alluring, vibrant colours add to the exciting thrill of the film, where every scene brings on a new adventure. Both in childhood and in adulthood, this film has captured my heart, completely.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Full of absurdities and nonsense, Alice in Wonderland is an intelligent and self-aware film. Though a bit "out there" at times, the movie is still entertaining and mind-bending.

Charming, quirky, funny and a bit boring at times.

The animation and creativity that went into this movie's production for the early 1950s/late 1940s was very impressive and a very ambitious project for Disney back then I'd imagine. Sterling Holloway as the cat was a good part of the movie as well as the queen's presence and delivery. While it was a lot to take in and not exactly my favorite Disney movie, it's pretty hard to really hate it. Toward the beginning one could argue and easily notice that Alice's character is pretty dumb and hard to get behind/sympathize with, however it was all a dream in the end after all! I'm glad I gave this a second try, as I hadn't seen it since I was very little.

Filme arrastado, cenas inúteis para preencher linguiça, uma vilã introduzida do nada para dizer que tem, músicas tenebrosas de ruim, protagonista sem carisma nenhum e além disso, um filme inacabável e chato. A única coisa boa desse filme é o clímax e quando ele termina.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

This movie did nothing to combat my undiagnosed ADHD and I ended up browsing reddit for half of the movie.
