8/10
Belated classic
27 December 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Young Alice, dreaming (or is she?) follows a white rabbit down a rabbit hole into a world of surreal adventures.

Walt Disney's adaptation of Lewis Carroll's classic was unsuccessful in its day, although the ensuing decades have shown its quality. It is a feast for the eyes, and captures the hallucinatory element of Carroll's prose brilliantly. It suffers somewhat from Americanisation (Carroll is VERY English) and Disneyfication in particular - there are areas which are overy cutesy, and some not-very-good English accents - but the visual imagination is good recompense.

This was ahead of its time.
