Combining stellar animation with upbeat songs such as "I'm Late," ALICE IN WONDERLAND garnered an Academy Award nomination for "Best Scoring of a Musical Picture
thank you

I purchased this DVD as a Christmas gift for my 20 year old daughter. Alice In Wonderland is her favorite Disney Classic, and she has owned the VHS version since she was a little girl.

There are two things that set this version of Alice apart from the version she grew up with. First, the film has been beautifully restored. The colors in the animation are clear and vivid, and the sound quality is truly superb, especially considering the age of the original soundtrack. Secondly, the Disney movie you know and love is only a part of this package. It takes up only a portion of the first DVD. There are so many very interesting add on features which make this two DVD set worth buying even if you already own another version of Disney's Alice in Wonderland.

The interactive tea party was not our cup of tea and would probably be appealing only to very young children. The care put in to this segment did not match the rest of the production in any way, and that disappointed us. There is so much more though, to recommend this set. There are several features that would appeal to adults every bit as much, if not more, than to children.

The whole second DVD is full to the brim with material about the making of Alice, between 1947 and 1951, and the introduction of Disney's Alice In Wonderland to the public...All sorts of interesting and entertaining background information and performances both live and animated, including songs that did not make it into the final movie version along with the reasons why. My husband put the DVD in the player just to test it before wrapping it up for Christmas, and we sat transfixed, exploring through these bonus features for over two hours, still not having seen everything there is to see and hear. The end result is that we have decided to gradually build up a collection of any of these masterpiece versions of Disney Classics that we can find at a good price, for ourselves to enjoy.

Laura loves her present.

By the time Disney produced "Alice", his studio had produced an entire repertoire of animated films from "Bambi", "Dumbo", "Snow White", "Cinderella", etc.

"Alice In Wonderland" is a film that I remember so very much from my childhood, because it so solidly brought to life the book I had been given, much earlier.
I still remember the tunes, the drama and the exquisite beauty of the production.
The casting [of the voice overs] is suberb. Indeed, it seems that the graphic artists of Disney began to take into their artistic representations some of the physical properties of those who were actually cast to "play the [voice] parts".

A few years ago, I rented the DVD for my grandchildren. They enjoyed it so that I bought it this year for them for Christmas.

There are few childrens' books that have been so beautifully and graphically brought to the screen in animation, that are true to the story, and yet so inventive to the eye and mind.

This is on my 100 Best Movies for All Time for Children and Families.

Disney's 'Alice in Wonderland: The Masterpiece Edition,' released as a two DVD set in 2004, is full of wonder, enchantment and characters who leave indelible footprints on the hearts of its viewers. The movie is magical for children and adults alike. ~ Tim Burton's version of 'Alice' ~ starring Johnny Depp and a fabulous emsemble cast ~ will be released in theatres in about two months, so, this time is better than any other to refreah your memories with Disney's 'Alice in Wonderland" in its original, upgraded format. Before watching this movie, open your hearts and your minds; you won't be sorry. In fact, you might just fall in love with Alice and her varied companions.
