	Disney Films -- Alice in Wonderland (Disney Lies)
		Alice complains that the book doesn't interest her because it doesn't have enough pictures, and that those it does have are either maps or of great, muscly, bare-chested men-at-arms.
		Because Alice does not fall asleep to enter Wonderland but instead falls very, very slowly down a rabbit hole, the audience understands that the "trip" she is about to take is not a dream in the normal sense.
		From this point, the movie is a series of encounters between Alice and bizarre characters, each of which stands in for either a fragment of her newly adjusted mind or of her perception of the world around her.

	Alice Comedies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alice was played by four young actresses at various times during the series' run: Virginia Davis, Margie Gay, Dawn Evelyn Paris (later known with the stage names of Dawn O'Day and Anne Shirley), and Lois Hardwick.
		Although Alice is a little girl, she spends much of her time avoiding danger, and even getting kidnapped by the cartoon villains, threatened with such perils as being tied to a log in a sawmill.
		Although all of Alice's threats are cartoon drawings, some might find the imagery a bit disturbing due to the character's young age, and the fact that she is a real person, or they might find it simply light-hearted and fun, due to the portrayal.

	Introduction to Animation
		The structure of the "Alice Comedies" series (1924-1927) reflects what Winkler saw as a successful formula of the dayÑconstant gags with little emphasis on plot development.
		Unlike "Alice's Wonderland," which was animated with help of Kansas City staffers, this cartoon was animated entirely by Walt -- with some assistance from his brother Roy.
		She was replaced by Dawn O'Day for one film, and Walt then hired Margie Gay who appeared in some 31 Alice comedies through 1925 and 1926.

		The Alice comedies (which have little explicitly to do with the Lewis Carroll story or heroine that the names "Walt Disney" and "Alice" more immediately conjure nowadays), while indisputably the most dated inclusions on the set, boast a reasonable amount of charm and a more substantial amount of significance.
		Alice and her real life friends put on a Wild West-themed stage show, but the appearance of some young bullies creates problems.

		Alice in Wonderland may not be regarded as the best of the studio by the general public, but time has been kind to it and helped make it appreciated by audiences for it unique and distinct flavor.
		Set to the film's score, storyboards are shown of an alternate opening to the film in which Alice finds hidden images in all the things around her (but not the kind that would end up at Snopes.com).

		McMahan redresses the oversight by critically and comprehensively analyzing the contributions of Alice Guy Blache (1873-1968).
		A filmmaker herself and one of the foremost authorities on the subject of early cinema, McMahan examines the themes of the few remaining Guy Blache films, the techniques of her actors, and the evolution of a film "language" in the director's choice of shots.
		Alison McMahan's study of Alice Guy is an astonishing piece of work, the most wide-ranging and ambitious book on a filmmaker that I can recall.
