Alice in Wonderland Reviews
Alice in Wonderland remains one of the most interesting and unique additions to Disney's early filmography.
| Original Score: B | Aug 28, 2022
What a grand ending too - it's a dream, as viewers knew from the start, but it concludes simply, smartly, and without dwelling on anything unnecessarily.
| Original Score: 9/10 | Aug 15, 2020
Alice In Wonderland is one of Walt Disney's best efforts. He has adhered to the Lewis Carrol classic, adding enough Disney humor to make it a delight for all ages.

Aside from the Walrus segment I think it is an amazing artistic achievement by Disney.
| Original Score: A | May 9, 2019
Carroll's dream logic seems to liberate the animators: everything is constantly transforming, including prim Alice herself.

Alice's world is far loonier and mad - and has more teeth. It was a fine departure from the fairy tales of Cinderella and Snow White.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 5, 2015
It's not among the studio's best, but it's certainly well worth watching.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 2, 2014
Disney's frantic take on Lewis Carroll may lack much of the book's illogical charm, but it does contain one of the great proto-psychedelic sequences in cinema.

...a watchable yet thoroughly forgettable piece of work...
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 6, 2013
Despite nice elements in this Oscar-nominated Disney feature, the movie was at the time a commercial flop, but deserves to be seen.
| Original Score: B | Mar 20, 2012
I'm not sure there's anyone alive that believes the 1951 film lives up to Lewis Carroll's deathless 1865 novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, but the animated feature remains a perfectly decent slice of kid-friendly surrealism...[Blu-ray]
| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 11, 2011
plays as a series of colorful, but uneven setpieces that lack an interesting or emotionally engaging heroine to tie them together
| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 1, 2011
Charm and relative simplicity play like a time capsule of animated movies past, which remind us of the Disney products that captivated our grandparents.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 22, 2011
Surreal Disney classic with wild-card characters.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 9, 2010
An emotionally chilly exercise... At the same time it is gorgeous indeed, one of the most singular movies in the Disney canon visually.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Nov 10, 2009
Fifty years on the movie is clearly due a reappraisal. It's colourful, fun and as surreal as Disney is ever likely to get, this isn't as good as the books, but works as a cute introduction to them.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 3, 2009
An enjoyable if rather pallid rendering of Carroll's classic tale.

The film is dazzling in its use of color and odd shapes and is enhanced by the distinctive voices of Ed Wynn as the Mad Hatter, Sterling Holloway as the Cheshire Cat, Jerry Colonna as the March Hare, and Verna Felton as the Queen of Hearts.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 3, 2009
What's really disappointing is the undistinguished animation: the film looks and plays more like the Disney shorts than the Disney features.
| Nov 3, 2009
Disney's animated musical adaptation of Lewis Carroll's classic is enjoyable and contains a few twisted touches and slanted visuals.
