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.

Critics Consensus

A good introduction to Lewis Carroll's classic, Alice in Wonderland boasts some of the Disney canon's most surreal and twisted images.

If you wander down a rabbit hole into the land of make-believe and nibble on cookies not meant for humans, it [makes] little difference how the episodes are linked. The important characters are there, and they are amusing.

It is a piece of brassy, empty-headed slapstick that makes the same use of Carroll's sentiment and wit that a baby would make of a Dresden shepherdess: bang it about and break it to bits.

All this makes for comedy and an agreeable lightness to match such delicacy and charm as that of the picture's floral sequence and the underwater ballet of the Little Oysters.

This animated Disney take on the story might be the most famous screen version, but it’s hardly the most satisfying.

When one... [imagines] just what must be done, and how many pictures made, to get the effects of Alice in Wonderland, it leaves him breathless. But even this is forgotten as the picture unwinds with a realism that is almost uncanny.

A visually imaginative movie that takes you into a stranger and fascinating world filled with quirky characters and unexpected adventures. The story is creative and fun, though it can feel a bit chaotic at times. What makes it memorable is its message about believing in yourself and embracing who you are. A whimsical fantasy that's enjoyable for both kids and adults.

I love Alice in Wonderland. It just reminds me how beautiful it is, but I also read the book. There’s some stuff I wish there was added like griffin and the crying turtle cow thing and stuff but I do enjoy this film. It’s a perfect classic either way.

Non è tra i migliori classici ma è comunque memorabile

I cannot remember this, except that I think it didn't make a huge impression on me. I think that there is an issue , local to here, that is... Not dumbing down, necessarily. But. It's a differing of sensibilities and opinions, the American and the European clergyman, or what have you. Whereas Lewis Caroll eg was taking a coded dig at what he considered the dross of Isaac Watts' hymns, Disney or Master of Ceremonies at the Big Top wants spectacle. They are not the same.

A fever dream coming to life in movie form. It’s absolutely weird and a bit terrifying, but it’s alright
