		To keep Alice's comic innocence from producing tragic results, Carroll quarantines her in Wonderland, protected by the quick reversals of dream-logic and her magical ability to overcome, as needed, one of the major disadvantages of childhood -- small stature.
		It was the saccharine, not the acid, that inspired the best-known 20th century Alice of all: the golden-haired, blue-frocked heroine of Walt Disney's 1951 animated film "Alice in Wonderland." Disney launched Alice's career as an emblem of perky innocence, an animated Doris Day for the elementary school set.
		So Alice has aged since she emerged from the pen of her creator (Carroll, whose reversible metamorphoses expressed his wish that little girls remain eternally little, would have been horrified) and her repertoire of adventures is somewhat larger.

		The whole thing becomes such a nightmare that Alice awakens from her dream to the recitations of her sister and the purring of her cat, Dinah.
		One of Walt's big problems with this film was that here he was dealing with a highly regarded classic, and what was charming and appropriately bizarre in book form seemed oddly out of place on the motion picture screen.
		The film was rediscovered by the psychedelic generation when it was made available on 16mm for schools, and it was rereleased in theaters in 1974 and 1981.

	Alice In Wonderland (1951): Gold Classic Collection
		Both Robin Hood and Alice In Wonderland hit the streets that day, and both are often regarded as among the worst Disney has to offer.
		At the root, Alice really isn't much of a character; like many Disney protagonists, she's more of a spectator in her story than she is an active participant.
		Alice In Wonderland appears in its original theatrical aspect ratio of approximately 1.33:1 on this single-sided, double-layered DVD; due to those dimensions, the image has not been enhanced for 16X9 televisions.

		Alice is the only true hero, two characters (Alice's sister and Dinah) barely make their mark in the story, and practically every character Alice meets in Wonderland are real psychos, whom by the end of the story, are all against her (a million to one).
		A few of those whom Alice encountered were doing such things as to entertain her, while others were either doing things to persecute her, get her in trouble, or just tick her off.
		There were numerous shots of Alice sedately giving attention to some of the characters' strange habits, rather than enjoying her trip, and others in where she was either mad or sad to be the main passive victim in the story.

	DVD Times - Alice in Wonderland (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The film takes the form of a number of set-pieces, most of them highly farcical, each completed under the supervision of a different sequence director (not all of whom appear to have been credited), and each vying for supremacy.
		The film owes a lot to the standard "uptight Englishman abroad" format, with Alice reacting with a mixture of surprise and indignation to the crazy environments and people she encounters.
		Alice's animation was rotoscoped (or at the very least, live action reference was used extensively), resulting in a sometimes clunky performance, whereas the denizens of Wonderland are designed and animated so broadly that you can never be in any doubt that this is a meeting of two completely different worlds.

	Kathryn Beaumont
		It was Kathryn who provided the voice of Alice in Disney's "Alice In Wonderland," and the voice of Wendy in Disney's "Peter Pan." To many, her voice is that of the quintessential Disney heroine.
		Her next film was MGM's enjoyable1948 Esther Williams vehicle "On an Island With You," (which was briefly available on VHS but is currently out of print.) She appears only briefly...
		Kathy will be heard as the voice of Alice in Walt Disney's version of "Alice in Wonderland," and as Wendy in the Disney "Peter Pan." She served as model, too, for the animators of both cartoons.

		But it was not unitl 1951, after 5 years working on this project, that the feature-film was released, following classical methods for animation.
		At that time, Alice was not a real success and it is considered to be Disney's less profitable project.

	Alice In Wonderland DVD Review
		Prior to this Walt Disney film version from 1951, which was remastered for the two-disc set, “Alice In Wonderland” was made into a movie first in a silent film in 1903 and again in 1915.
		Young Alice plays with her cat, displaying Disney’s proclivity for winning audiences over with cute animals, and remarks that the world would be better off if it were a little more illogical and fanciful.
		Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum entertain Alice, or perhaps mystify her, with the story of the curious oysters, the carpenter and the walrus in Chapters 8 and 9.

		Each character is drawn on their own layer and the cells placed one on top of the other to create the illusion of several characters in the same shot.
		Alice and the Queen (above) are therefore on separate transparent cels.
		However, it's a gradual fade across several frames - not a quick cut from colour to fl and white - which perhaps indicates it was a deliberate "effect".

		Alice herself, based largely on Alice Liddell, a real-life child of whom Carroll was very fond, is a wonderful heroine that you can't help admiring.

		As the medium matured and filmmakers and studios began to explore features that expand the entertainment as well as viewers' understanding of the film, many titles were re-released as "special editions." Many DVD owners found themselves buying the same movies they already had at home.
		The recent "masterpiece edition" of Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" falls in the latter category.
		Originally released in 1951, the film itself has never been one of the knock-'em-dead Disney hits.

		Alice (voiced by Kathryn Beaumont) has all the anticipated experiences.
		Based on the Collodi tale about a wooden puppet who wants to become a real boy, Pinocchio is among the most magical, mythical, and frightening films to come from the studio in its long history.
		A number of scenes make permanent impressions on young minds (just ask Steven Spielberg, who quoted the film more than once in Close Encounters of the Third Kind), and the songs ("When You Wish upon a Star") can't be beat.

	DVD Reviews - Frank and Ollie, Walt: The Man Behind the Myth and Alice in Wonderland
		The film was the brainchild of Frank Thomas's son Theodore (Ted) Thomas, who both wrote and directed as well as co-produced (with Kuniko Okubo).
		The film thoroughly traces Walt's career with the narration being well-illustrated by historical footage of Walt himself and the Disney studios, clips from various cartoons and features, and coverage of the development of Disneyland and the early planning for Epcot which had begun just before Walt's death.
		Disney himself used the Alice character for one of his earliest successes - a series of shorts in the 1920s combining animation with live action.
