Review of Alice in Wonderland (1951) by Harry L — 04 Jun 2012

Of the Disney canon, this is one of the more experimental films, alongside "Dumbo". While they weren't going for a straight literary adaptation, it is perhaps best that they didn't. Instead they produced visuals that made us feel as if we were going into a mad world as opposed to directly adapting a mad world. Aside from Jan Svankmajer's "Alice" this is one of the better attempts at translating Lewis Carroll's books to the screen and one of the more daring Disney films out there.

A lot of risks were put into the making of this films, from it's incoherent plot, to the dazzling colors, Disney's "Alice" is an unforgettable film in his dazzling filmography.
