 filmcritic.com Movie Review: Alice in Wonderland (1951)
For the uninitiated, this musical rendition takes young Alice on a whirlwind ride down a rabbit hole and into a surreal fantasy land where cats vanish, hares have intense schedules, and the world is ruled by a playing card.
Remarkably, Alice takes all this in stride; whether potions shrink her or make her grow uncontrollably, she doesn't seem to mind much.
Much of the movie feels like it's working up to the big finish in the land of the playing cards, which is nothing special by today's standards, but which looks pretty good for 1951.
