Buena para los niños, pero siento que a los adultos, incluso los que la vieron de jóvenes, no la vean con los mismos ojos hoy en día.

Alice In Wonderland

Disney's everlasting quest of painting a jaw dropping world on a screen that is snatched away from your dreams or nightmares, is the only reason how and why they come up with these many premises and princesses like such. Evidently it has been working for them, for years, no one dared question and match their game. Personally, Alice feels much more mature to me than other- for starters she build up this amazing world on her own- but also because there is no seeking or working hard for a prince. She creates her own problems and sorts it out by finding out the loophole. This overthinking princess is flawed and not eccentrically brave; necessarily, sure.

It makes her character more humane- despite of all that animation- and with all the fear and worrisome issues comes a sarcastic tone in her language that isn't usually found in others. The film, frankly, doesn't have much to go with, it's a trip gone wrong case. But as always speaking metaphorically and social messages, Disney does bring all things back to the circle and weave out a definite point out of it. One of the best bits of the films are these new characters that pops around every five minutes, that relates a lot with our world but there is a catch to it.

Manipulating their characteristics in order to leave an important message and a satirical comic nature, the film whips you with awe inducing inventive characters. Like a bird that eats other birds but instead of a stomach it has a cage or an army of cards that would be easy to fiddle and rank by or using the food chain phenomenon in a tea party. Alice In Wonderland is pretty much us in our land, a bit quirky, a bit melodious and an overwhelming experience in the end.… Expand

Out of all the older Disney animated films, I would definitely say this is the one I feel the most neutral about. Even for the short run time, It still feels a bit long at times and only tends to peak at certain parts. Alice in WonderlandOut of all the older Disney animated films, I would definitely say this is the one I feel the most neutral about. Even for the short run time, It still feels a bit long at times and only tends to peak at certain parts. Alice in Wonderland blends fun with chaos quite well and it is still a beautiful looking movie and by far the best adaptation out there. It just never really takes off like other films like it.… Expand

Alice in Wonderlandis a story of Alice who is in the world of Wonderland. First she comes across the white rabbit and falling in the rabbit hole, comes across a talking doorknob, crying in tears, comes across the two twins, you know all the rest. There're many characters that really are wacko. My favourite character has got to be The Walrus and the Carpenter because they have great chemistry. I know the rest of the characters are funny like everyone's favourite The Mad Hatter and the March Hare or like The Queen of Hearts even for the Cheshire Cat he sounds like Winnie the Pooh. This movie is a lot of fun for people who really enjoyed it and read the books. There are loads of funny in this Disney classic, it is unpredictable, unforgettable, classy and the timing is fast. My friend Scott Hammond loves it as well and we were non stop repeating the scenes that really made us laugh. The White Rabbit who is saying ''I'm Late! I'm Late! I'm Late!'' he even said hello, goodbye and goodbye, hello at wrong way round. I guess those characters are crazy.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Alice In Wonderland is my 2nd favorite animated movie, my 2nd favorite Disney movie, and one of my top 10 favorite movies of all time. The movie was beautifully and phenomenally animated and I loved how colorful, whimsical, and unique the movie was. I loved all of the animated animals and creatures they were all cute and cool especially the Cheshire Cat, all of the birds that looked like different tools and objects, all of the different singing and talking flowers, the Mome Raths, the Caterpillar, and the Bread-and-Butterflies. Kathryn Beaumont, Sterling Holloway, Ed Wynn, Verna Felton, J. Pat O'Malley, and Bill Thompson gave funny and terrific voice over performances. The soundtrack was excellent and I especially loved the songs In a World of My Own and The Unbirthday Song. The soundtrack is one of my favorite soundtracks of all time and one of my favorite albums of all time. The writing and story were fantastic. The Cheshire Cat is my favorite Disney character of all time. Alice In Wonderland will forever be a A+ movie for me.… Expand

Saying that all old Disney movies are classics is like saying that all cars are classics just because they are old... anyway, whether it's a classic or not, this Disney movie deserves our attention: it entertains quite well and gives childrenSaying that all old Disney movies are classics is like saying that all cars are classics just because they are old... anyway, whether it's a classic or not, this Disney movie deserves our attention: it entertains quite well and gives children an innocent and funny story.

I will not dwell on the analysis of the story: anyone who knows the work of Lewis Carroll (the film focuses on "Alice in Wonderland" but will get some elements from "Through the Looking Glass") will surely identify the story and its characters, some of them as immortal as the Mad Hatter, the March Hare or the Cheshire Cat. They are iconic and recognizable even by those who have never read Carroll's books and stories.

The film is beautifully animated, with vivid and elegant colors, and a limpid, crisp and very well executed look, for which contributed the skillful hands of hundreds of designers from Walt Disney's studio. The film was made at a time when the studio did its best graphic work and the quality is visible. The songs are another important part of the movie, and there are several important and noteworthy songs here. Personally, I really like listening to "A World of My Own" or the march "Painting the Roses Red". The film counts with the impeccable collaboration of many voice actors, of which I want to highlight Kathryn Beaumont, Ed Wynn, Sterling Holloway and Verna Felton.

Despite everything, I think the film was pretty much forgotten for a long time, and it didn't have the success that it could have had: in fact, the crazy and illogical story that it presents can both attract or repel the audience... it's not a story for everyone to enjoy, as palatable and cute as "Cinderella" or "Peter Pan", films that are much easier to sell. Paradoxically, the recent appearance of live action films centered on Alice's tale may, in a way, have revived the interest of more recent audiences in Carroll's work and, consequently, in this animated film.… Expand

There, Alice spots a passing White Rabbit in a waistcoat, exclaiming that he is "late for a very important date". She gives chase, following him into a large rabbit hole. She sees him leave through a tiny door, whose talking knob advises her to shrink to an appropriate height by drinking from a bottle marked "Drink Me". She does so and floats out through the keyhole into a sea of her own tears, which she had cried after eating a biscuit marked "Eat Me", which caused her to grow very large. As she continues to follow the Rabbit, she meets numerous characters, including Tweedledum and Tweedledee, who recount the tale of "The Walrus and the Carpenter".
Alice tracks the Rabbit to his house; he mistakes her for his housemaid and sends her to retrieve his gloves. While searching, she finds and eats another cookie marked "Eat Me" and grows large again, getting stuck in the house. Thinking her a monster, he brings the Dodo to help expel her. When the Dodo decides to burn the house down, Alice escapes by eating a carrot from the Rabbit's garden, which causes her to shrink to three inches tall, and continues following him. Along the way, she meets a garden of talking flowers who initially welcome her with a song, but then mistake her for a weed and order her to leave, followed by a Caterpillar. He becomes enraged by her distress at her current height, which is the same as his, and turns into a butterfly. Before leaving, he advises her to eat a piece of his mushroom to alter her size. She does so and returns to her original height, and continues following the Rabbit.
In the woods, Alice meets the Cheshire Cat, who advises her to visit the Mad Hatter or the March Hare to learn the Rabbit's location. She encounters both, along with the Dormouse, at the Hare's house having a mad tea party and celebrating their "unbirthdays". They celebrate hers too, but she becomes frustrated by interruptions whenever she tries to speak. As she prepares to leave, the Rabbit appears, continuing to exclaim that he is late; the Hatter examines his pocket watch and says it is "two days slow", and attempts to "fix" it by filling it with food and tea but ends up having to destroy it after it goes "mad". The Rabbit laments that his watch was an "unbirthday present", and the Hatter and Hare sing "The Unbirthday Song" to him before throwing him back into the woods. Fed up with the nonsense, Alice decides to go home, but her surroundings have completely changed and she gets lost. Fearing she is lost forever, she sits on a rock sobbing.
The Cheshire Cat reappears and advises Alice to ask the Queen of Hearts for directions home, showing her a "shortcut" to the King and tyrannical Queen's castle. The Queen orders the beheading of a trio of playing card gardeners who mistakenly planted white roses instead of red ones (but paint them to make them look red), and forces Alice to play against her in a croquet match, in which live flamingos, card guards, and hedgehogs are used as equipment. The equipment rig the game in favor of the Queen. The Cat appears again and plays a trick on the Queen, causing her to fall over. The Cat disappears in time to make it look like Alice was the prankster, but before the Queen can order her execution, the King suggests a trial.
At Alice's trial, the Mad Hatter, March Hare, and Dormouse are called to the stand as witnesses, briefly celebrating the Queen's unbirthday and giving her a headpiece as a present, which turns into the Cat. Chaos ensues when the Dormouse, frightened when Alice points out the Cat, runs around the courtroom. As the Queen orders Alice's execution, Alice eats the pieces of the Caterpillar's mushroom she saved and grows large again. The King and Queen order her to leave the courthouse, but she refuses and insults the Queen. As she does so, she returns to her normal size, and the Queen orders her execution. Alice flees, and the Queen, King, card guards and other characters give chase. When she reaches the small door she encountered at the beginning of the film, he shows her that she is actually already outside, asleep. She yells at herself to wake up; she does thanks to her sister, and they return home for tea.… Expand

The movie isn't as good as the book, cause more part of the time it can't translate all the magic and imagination the book can provide, but it's possible to have part of this illogical charm the book brings you. The writing is amazingly full of funny characters always speaking metaphorically and social messages.
Certainly, at some point, the movie and book will bring to the audience all shadows and fears that this crazy new world has. The character Alice will see and have the fear and worrisome issues that always come with a sarcastic tone.… Expand
