Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.

Sherrill777 The Bad:There's very little in terms of cohesive story in this movie. The "plot" seems to simply be a series of strange short stories loosely connected. And the stories themselves are random bits of confusing nonsense. For people who enjoy abstract art, this may be enjoyable, but I don't particularly care for it. It also doesn't exactly stick close to the original book. Finally, I'd say the songs are mostly (with a few exceptions) forgettable.The Good: This is definitely a creative work. Probably as close to a dream-made-cartoon as you can get. The film is crammed full of memorable characters – from the Cheshire Cat, to the Queen of Hearts, to the White Rabbit. This movie also has the potential to invoke a lot of different emotions – sadness at the fate of the oysters; admiration and disgust at the flowers; frustration with the various direction-givers... The Mom view:This isn't a "feel good" movie. It's not a sad movie, but you don't come away feeling like anyone learned anything, that anything was resolved, or that any new relationships formed. It was more like a bunch of animated shorts strung together with a repeating protagonist. I appreciate it as being original and very unique, and one that might find favor with kids who have a huge imagination. But it is kind of intense at times and definitely not for kids who need a concrete story-line. So I wouldn't go out of my way to have my kids see this while they are very young, but rather wait until perhaps later elementary level and view it as more a piece of art than a fun adventure. Not my favorite Disney animated movie, but not horrible either.

williamarthurwatson Alice in Wonderland is a film that looks very good. Anyone who watches a single scene from this movie on its own can't help but be impressed. But watching it from beginning to end is another matter. Alice is likable enough as she longs to find a world of her own but as soon as she goes down the rabbit hole things go wrong for the viewer as well as Alice. I think the problem is this: The movie presents a parade of characters using wordplay and songs meant to show how clever it is to twist logic into (sort of) funny verses. As soon as Alice leaves one lunatic she immediately encounters another. The Mad Hatter, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumb, The Dodoo, and the Cheshire Cat are all just variations on the weird stranger that one shouldn't trust. To be fair I think something always gets lost in every film adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. Most of us don't watch movies the way that we read books and this book in particular seems incapable of being translated to film. Consider that Frank L Baum's similar story, The Wizard of Oz, worked a lot better in 1939 because Dorothy had the advantage of meeting a few nice (if strange) characters that stuck up for her. There is a bitter truth about Alice in Wonderland. The notion that the world is full of crazy adults who aren't very helpful in a crisis (and one or two may even want to cut off your head) sadly rings true of our human condition. But watching a little girl learn that lesson for an hour and fifteen minutes is just not very pleasant, even if there are one or two catchy songs along the way.

grantss Alice is a daydreaming young girl. She finds learning poems and listening to literature boring. She prefers stories with pictures and to live inside her imagination. One day, while enduring just such a poetry reading, she spots a large white rabbit...dressed in a jacket and carrying a large watch. He scurries off, saying he's late, for a very important date. She follows him through the forest. He then disappears down a rabbit hole. Alice follows, leading her to all manner of discoveries, characters and adventures.A wonderful, imaginative adaptation of Lew Carroll's famous novel. Captures well the sheer randomness, weirdness and wonder of Alice's adventures in Wonderland.Great animation, even by today's standards. But, then again, this is a Walt Disney production, so that is a given.Voices are spot-on. Kathryn Beaumont, at 12/13 years old, shines as Alice. Disney must have liked her performance too - she provided the voice of Wendy in Peter Pan, two years later.The quintessential adaptation.

lisafordeay Alice In Wonderland is a 1951 animated feature and is Disney's 13th in the Disney canon. The story is about a girl called Alice who is at the park with her mother as she is reading Alice a book. But when Alice sees a white rabbit who is saying im late, im late, im late she decides to follow him into the rabbit hole. But when she does,she ends up in an alternative universe where she meets whacky charcthers including Tweedledum and Tweedledee as well as a cat named Cheshire Cat that can hide(like a chameleon) and the red queen who hates white roses,she only likes red roses. Can Alice ever get back to her own world,OR is she actually daydreaming about the whole thing this whole time.Overall I thought it was a fairly good movie,its not one of my favourite movies but I was glad I got it on DVD as I never seen it in a long time. I notice though that A lot of Walt Disney's movies before his death in 1966 has charcthers smoking pipes as this indicated that Walt was a heavy smoker back in the day and that's why,whereas now you don't see any charcthers smoking. The animation is flawless,the charcthers are engaging and whacky and the plot is good but when it came to the end I was like wait a minute you mean to tell me she was hallucinating this whole time.Overall im giving it a 6.
