Imaginatively rendered but slightly chilly, this 1951 Disney adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic is also appropriately surreal. Alice (voiced by Kathryn Beaumont) has all the anticipated experiences: shrinking and growing, meeting the White Rabbit, having tea with the Mad Hatter, etc. Characterization is very strong, and the Disney team worked hard to bring screen personality to Carroll's eccentric creations. For a Disney film, however, it seems more the self-satisfied sum of its inventiveness than a truly engaging experience. --Tom Keogh

 Wonderful Special Edition December 26, 2008
Alice in Wonderland is a wonderful film, and this edition is no different... providing extras and interesting commentary, new songs as well as singalongs, and more. Worth noting is that the extras are primarily adult-oriented, other than the singalongs and the Wonderland Party. The Disc 2 features, like 'An Hour in Wonderland' are more informational and historically based, something that I'm not sure that children would enjoy as much as long-time fans of the film might.
Overall, it's a great DVD with interesting features, and of course, a wonderful film.

The movie is great... I have no problems with that. What was bad was that when I received my order it was very obvious that it was a fake copy. It was not an original Disney Copy. I was very upset. I have never ordered anything from that seller again. BE CAREFUL with who you order stuff from. When you find a good seller stick with them.

I believe this to be a bootlegged copy of the original Disney DVD. I contacted the seller and was given a refund. I hope no one else buys from this party. I have also contacted Disney about my concerns.
 "Mustard? Now Let's Not Be Silly." December 12, 2008
One day while Alice (voiced by Kathryn Beaumont) is trying to pay attention to her lessons, she sees a White Rabbit (Bill Thompson) go by. This is no ordinary White Rabbit, however. He's looking at his pocket watch and worrying about being late. Curious, Alice follows him only to fall down a hole and land in Wonderland.
And what sort of place is Wonderland? It's a place where anything and everything can talk. Besides the animals, we've got a talking doorknob. Eating and drinking can make Alice grow and shrink. As she tries to follow the White Rabbit and find out where he is going, she meets Tweedledum and Tweedledee (J. Pat O'Malley), joins an Unbirthday Party with the Mad Hatter (Ed Wynn) and the March Hare (Jerry Colonna), has a couple run ins with the Cheshire Cat (Sterling Holloway), gets lost in a strange wood, and has plays crochet with the Queen of Hearts (Verna Felton). Will she ever get home?
It had been years since I'd seen this, so I had forgotten just how many songs there are in the movie. Just about every character sings one at some point. But there is a reason you don't remember most of them. They're just okay.
Really, this movie is just a series of adventures loosely held together by the White Rabbit. While that works for the books this movie is based on, it doesn't work quite as well here. I tend to get bored before we meet up with the Queen. Still, there are several funny scenes and several enjoyable songs.
Honestly, I enjoyed it more then I remember enjoying it. The kids will particularly love this wacky tale.
