Alice in Wonderland Review Celebrating 75 years of this Disney classic.

Alice in Wonderland Review: Celebrating 75 years of this film.

Alice in Wonderland is a film I watched as a child, and it's hard to believe it's now 75 years old. Alice in Wonderland, we all know, is the story of a 12-year-old girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole and ends up in Wonderland, and she has to find her way back. 

Alice enters Wonderland and meets all sorts of strange creatures who are friendly, weird, and speak in riddles. Wonderland is full of crazy people, but they represent something to Alice, as she likes to think of her world as this. The whole film imagines a world of her own where everyone does this instead of that.

The animation of this film is fantastic, and the background artwork is incredible too. 1950s Disney animated films have a special feel, and, sadly, we don't get that anymore. We all know the story of Alice following a white rabbit down the rabbit hole, and she ends up in Wonderland.

Lol, to this day everyone properly says this when they are late for something important. 

The Dodo Bird was funny in the film especially with his friend Bill the Lizard. 

Fun Fact: the lizard character Bill is also in The Great Mouse Detective. This has led fans to believe all the Disney films connect to each other as Bill went from Wonderland to London. 

In the film, we see Alice interact with many characters who do the opposite, such as the twins and the talking flowers. Of course, we get the mad hater and the rabbit. This was a funny scene because they were drinking to celebrate a birthday, not for Alice, just for fun. 

Of course there are some fun musical moments in the film, and there are sad moments we all feel for Alice because she misses her sister and pet cat. We then meet the Cheshire Cat who basically helps Alice, and he's one of the best characters in the film.

Now, of course, he helps her but sends her to meet the Queen of Hearts, who basically loves to cut heads off. Still, she's really funny in the film, like she chops off their heads when she doesn't get his way.

Fun Fact: The reason the Queen is bigger than the King is that in the book. Queen Victoria had more power than her husband, Prince Albert; it symbolized monarchical power dynamics. So the Queen of Hearts and the King of Hearts basically represent them.

Now, of course Alice goes to court, and you know how the story goes: everyone goes to court and goes crazy, and she grows big, and all the Wonderland characters chase her. 

Wakes up back home, and she goes to have tea with her sister and cat. The film's ending: many people debate whether it's a happy ending because she's back home with her family, or, for some, a sad ending for other reasons. I view it as a happy ending because she realizes it's better to stay in a world that makes sense, and it's with people who aren't mad. Something like that.

Now, interesting fact: this film got bad write-ups when it first came out, but years later, especially in the 60s and 70s, this film became a Disney Classic because, let's face it. Everyone who watches this film does get stoned or high because it's more fun to watch, and that song Alice by Smokie. 

Alice in Wonderland was a fun film to watch as a kid, and I still enjoy watching it. It's more fun to watch high, though. Still, this is a classic film to watch, and it's interesting to know that the voice actor for Alice was also the voice of Wendy in Peter Pan. I like this film, and it's part of my childhood. Watching it, you realize Disney had better animation back then than they do today, to be honest. There were funny moments in the film too. 

I give this film a 7 out of 10. It's a fun Disney classic; give it a watch.
