Probably the best film to have ever come out of Disney.. It's so insanely bizarre that it can be enjoyed by pretty much anyone.

Forget how surreal this film is; I feel like if I actually ever got high and watched it, I'd mostly be laughing my ass off. "I say, stop kicking that mackerel!"

(2nd viewing) Uncomfortably weird but aesthetically beautiful and endlessly imaginative, 'Alice in Wonderland' may be Disney's least accessible film, but by far one of, if not their best and most thought provoking, and that's a huge plus in my book. I love the following (about the ending): "She gradually awakens from the dream and muses on her adventures in Wonderland, realizing that perhaps logic and reason exist for a purpose."

For the most part the film was just weird-for-weirdness with little to keep the interest. And then again there were moments of greatness like Tea Party scene. Cheshire Cat had its moments as did King of Hearts and I also liked that matter-of-factness of Alice. Good things but not enough to save the film. Then again, every Disney animation (ignoring most of those straight-to-video releases) is worth watching at least once.

Alice in Wonderland is definitely the weirdest Disney animation I can recall. As a kid I loved this film but I had absolutely no idea what was going on. And looking back I can't believe how much of a trippy experience it was. The Disney formulae is refreshingly absent and this feels more like a bizarre series of sketches and characters rather than your usual linear children's story. The characters are timeless and it was definitely ahead of its time and an admirably bold choice for Disney.

Alice in Wonderland is very interesting and a good showing of the oddness of Lewis Carroll. It's an excellent example of how Disney used to be darker and bolder with their films. Pretty good!

Another Disney Classic. Merry Unbirthday to you. The rabbit running around reminded me of myself sometimes when I can't find my wallet in the morning.

Great nonsense, that Carpenter and Walrus segment is so DANK - there’s a tobacco warning before this on Disney plus, bitch I just watched a walrus lure an oyster lady’s children away after snuffing her out and devour them all lol I love that everything in the white rabbits house is shaped like a rabbit - pillow, clock, frame, chairs etc could you imagine how fucked up it would be going over to someone’s house and everything is shaped like them.

The animation is pretty amazing, especially considering it was all done by hand back in the day. I've always been a fan of the story itself and the message in support of the imagination and living in the surreal. The Cheshire Cat is probably the best character, as exemplified when he makes the dog comparison. His whimsical/careless/muddling persona appeals to me a lot. None of the appeal comes from nostalgia here, I never saw this movie as a kid. Awesome for those obsessed with the bizarre.

Mad Hatter: Would you like a little more tea? Alice: Well, I haven't had any yet, so I can't very well take more. March Hare: Ah, you mean you can't very well take less. Mad Hatter: Yes. You can always take more than nothing.

The animation is sumptuous, and the film remains fairly faithful to the source work. It's not a coherent film, but it shouldn't be. It joyfully jumps from one absurd scenario to the next, while capturing some of the subversive social commentary Carroll hid inside the nonsensical surface nature of the books. One of the best of Disney's golden age.

One of my favorite Disney flicks. The animation is brilliant and the story wickedly sublime.

A great adaptation of a bland novel that modern writers like to ape to give the appearance of depth where there is none.

(2014-15 Disneython #7:) While certainly episodic, there is a lot of visual imagination and even some genuine eerieness here. There are some very enjoyable scenes such as Alice's encounter with the flowers or the Cheshire Cat or various issues with getting too big/small.

Great family animation and a perfect introduction to the book for those who find the book too sureal. Vivid, imaginative and more modern than you would think for its date.

Has some funny scenes (their dialogues were well written). But some scenes were boring and slow. Though, it started fast and was well paced during the rabbit hole scene, but after it got slow. I also didn't some of the songs. And what was the point of those talking flowers, Walrus and the Carpenter and 'Tweedledum and Tweedledee'? They don't belong in this film (as they were not in the book). This film was trippy, though. LOL. I agree with the other people who said this.

Frenetic, sometimes bizarre and really funny, this Disney animation is maybe the most surrealistic, psychedelic film ever made. I mean, it's not funny, but frightening, Jesus... thank God it took me some years to see it -- I'm just kidding, you know, but the fact is that Wonderland is as beautiful as eccentric.

I have never been that much of a fan of the story, but Disney's 'Alice' is entertaing because of its aesthetic beauty and just plain oddness.

Splendid animation and great voice work combine for a great adaptation of Carol's work, even if the pacing falters.

Criteenque (Criteenque Movie Reviews) | 30 43rd |
Even though Disney doesn't highlight his metaphors as well as Carroll does, both source and adaptation still manage to convey an Alice attempting to find purpose and a world where she belongs - similar to another literary and cinematic classic, The Wizard of Oz.
