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.

I girl just stepped into a magical strange realm, featuring unusual creatures with unlimited misunderstandings. But it was all a dream in the end. The Cheshire Cat is like Bill Cipher.

Maybe it says something about me, but this was one of my favourite films as a child. Having not seen it in a fair few years, I popped it on as a comfort watch recently and did not stop laughing. I forgot how truly and beautifully unhinged the whole thing is! As someone who tends to have a soft spot for hilarious baddies (think Scar, Jafar, Ursula), this film has some of the best characters Disney has ever created. Absolutely bonkers in ways that make no sense whatsoever and yet manage to make perfect sense, all at the same time... "That's logic!" So glad I revisited it and will be watching again very soon. Brilliant!

Alice has its classic moments, mainly in the beginning and in the end. The middle is a bit disjointed and lacks movement.
