Critic Reviews

Keith Phipps

A striking effort in its own right, though not in the ways that make one generation pass a film lovingly down to the next. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

On the screen it is vividly realized in all its fantastic angles. The humor is genuine and the treatment satisfying on its literary side. But an hour and a quarter of it is overpoweringly sedative. [26 Dec 1933, p.10]

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

Most of the superstars in this fascinating but offbeat production are thoroughly unrecognizable, buried under pounds of makeup or smothered in cumbersome costumes. Read full review

Helen Brown Norden

It was hoped that the picture would have a large appeal for children, but the consensus of opinion seems to have been that even the Little Ones had rather see Jean Harlow any day, or else stay home in the nursery and play Tick-Tack-Toe. Read full review

Pauline Kael

The film was lavishly produced, with great care given to the sets and costumes and makeup, but the spirit is missing.

Staff (Not Credited)

Most of the blame must rest with McLeod, whose incredibly cackhanded direction piles on the whimsy by the bucket-load and can't come to grips with the absurdity at all. Read full review

Me costó terminar la película, tres veces la tuve que retomar. La verdad es que es una mezcla de los dos libros de Lewis Carroll, Alicia en el país de las maravillas y Atreves del espejo y lo que Alicia encontró allí. Feos disfraces, aburridos juegos de palabra y personajes que se la pasabanMe costó terminar la película, tres veces la tuve que retomar. La verdad es que es una mezcla de los dos libros de Lewis Carroll, Alicia en el país de las maravillas y Atreves del espejo y lo que Alicia encontró allí. Feos disfraces, aburridos juegos de palabra y personajes que se la pasaban llorando.
Tiene un inicio largo y aburrido, tomas que cambian de la nada y personajes mal desarrollados, todo esto y más componen a esta desastrosa adaptación.
Para mí todo esto le quita el encanto a lo que es el mundo de Alicia, creo que podían haber realizado algo mejor con mucho menos, fue muy pretenciosa… Expand

Horrible movie. The only interesting thing to watch is how different of a time it was, and how far movies have come along.
