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.

2024-07-14 09:32:48 +0000 UTCSome Facts regarding Alice in Wonderland -it basically is a kind of roadtrip movie meet someone have an encounter or move onto something else and there isn’t really a connecting thread other than Alice and she is a blank slate for the audience to view everything strange through her and having her be the normal one to work off of all of the weird and abnormal things in Wonderland and this film does what other adaptations of the story fail to do it knows it has to be a film first so it is easier for the audience to follow whereas others either stick to close to the source material or stray too far for it to make sense to follow. -The lack of color you brought up actually happens quite a lot throughout the film as many background will be dark which gives color a chance to pop when it appears in the foreground, -when Alice is lost and sings the song “Very Good Advice” originally it was supposed to be a scene where she encounters one of the characters being the Knight and was supposed to help her learn the lesson, but Walt thought it would be better if she learned the lesson herself, -the whole thing regarding “Raven like a writing desk” Lewis Carrol never had intended for the riddle to have an answer, but after receiving so many letters he wrote this in reply: in the preface in a latter edition of the book: “Enquiries have been so often addressed to me, as to whether any answer to the Hatter’s Riddle can be imagined, that I may as well put on record here what seems to me to be a fairly appropriate answer, viz: Because it can produce a few notes, though they are very flat; and it is NEVAR put with the wrong end in front! This, however, is merely an afterthought; the riddle as originally invented, had no answer at all.” -to this day it is the Disney film with the most songs in it even if some are each only a few seconds long, -the number on the Hatter’s hat is the price tag which stands for 10 Shillings and a sixpence, -this was one of the books in the background in the opening of Pinocchio along with Peter Pan as Walt had wanted to make film adaptations of both as early as the 1930’s, but could never have them work right and wouldn’t be until the 50’s they came to be. -while this film did okay at the box office and with critics it wasn’t a smash hit the studio wanted, but in the late 60’s was when both Alice and the film Fantasia would find their audiences with college campuses with kids high watching the trippy films, -the voice of Alice Katherine Beaumont would only work for Disney twice in this and the next film Peter Pan as the voice of Wendy, however, she would reprise the role of Alice in the first Kingdom Hearts game in 2001, -In the beginning and end of the film the actress playing Alice’s sister, would also be in Peter Pan as the mother of Wendy, -every character in the film can be found in the books, but one which was made exclusively for this film that being the doorknob, -Ed Wynn while this being his only animated role for Disney was in several live action films for the studio including one you saw Mary Poppins where he was Uncle Albert. -This would be the first Disney film to have end credits to it which wouldn’t happen again until 1985 with The Black Cauldron, -To help animators have a look down they would have the actors playing the roles dress up as their characters and act out the scenes for reference footage I bring this up because for the tea party scene Ed Wynn who plays the Mad Hatter was improvising dialogue with the scene of the rabbit’s watch, but when it was time to do the script dialogue for the scene they found it wasn’t as funny as what he improvised so they used the audio from the reference footage of him, -Every character in the film can be found in the books except one that was created for the film that being the Doorknob, -this film is where many actors and actresses that worked for Disney again and again can be heard in the following films, not including short cartoons or television work: Verna Felton who is the Queen of Hearts in this also can be heard in the following Disney films: Dumbo, Cinderella, Aunt Sarah in Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, and The Jungle Book, Bill Thompson who is the White Rabbit and the Dodo in this also is most famous as the original voice of Droopy outside Disney, but can be heard as Mr. Smee and several other pirates in Peter Pan, Jock, Bull the bulldog, Dachsie, Joe the Italian cook, and the policeman in the zoo in Lady and the Tramp, King Hubert in Sleeping Beauty, and The AristoCats, J Pat O’Malley who is Tweedle Dee and Dum as well as the Walrus, the Carpenter, and Mother Oyster in this can also be heard in Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Taod, Colonel, and Jasper 101 Dalmatians, Colonel Haithi in The Jungle Book, and Robin Hood, Sterling Holloway who is one of my absolute favorites is the Cheshire Cat in this, but can also be heard in Dumbo, Bambi, Three Caballeros, Make Mine Music, Kaa in The Jungle Book, The AristoCats, And my childhood With Winnie the Pooh in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, -Richard Haydn who was the caterpillar was Uncle Max in The Sound of Music, -I would advise against watching the Tim Burton film as one big reason is it adds logic to a world that doesn't run on logic and stripped it of it’s color,
