Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
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, and so on. The characterisation is very strong, illustrating how hard the Disney team worked 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

- Acid in Wonderland
First time i saw this movie i was about 6 or 7 years old and it became one of my favorite cartoons.
Then i watched it last night (Im 24 now) and it was more intresting than the first time.
I think Alice in Wonderland is a pure acid trip story, check the colors, voices, the worm with the bong and that mushroom (Magic mushroom maybe) she ate that made her big and small ??????? and also that weird cat.
This movie is made in a way that makes any one who watches it love it.

- Wonderland awaits......................Come in !!!!!
When i was a little girl, (I'm fourteen now) Alice in Wonderland was my favourite film (besides the little mermaid) I had a lot of disney videos as a child but this shines through all of them.

For a mere few hours, you can get lost in wonderfully strange world of wonderland. No wonder Gwen Stefani chose to do Alice in Wonderland for her What you waiting for video ... Read More

- Follow the white rabbit Neo - no sorry, I mean Alice
I just spent a couple of hours looking at this wonderful movie and the extra features. The aptly named Masterpiece Edition is worth every penny, and like The Matrix, should be included in any movie collection, whether you have a child to hide behind or not.

Beautifully adapted and animated from Lewis Carroll's highly imaginative, high-trippin' classic, the imagery and illustrated puns amaze and amuse, especially the little things like the rocking-horse fly, the bread-and-butter flies, the vultures, ... Read More

- More Disney than Carroll
An entertaining and inventive interpretetion of Lewis Carroll's book, albeit one which neglects most of the author's clever logic-play in favour of mere absurdity. Certainly not the definitive version of the book - which has yet to be made - but a fun film.
Incidentally the studio's attitiude towards the source text might be guessed at by the fact that the opening credits not only get the name of the book wrong - they also mis-spell the author's name!
