Professor Pfinklepfunder's $1 Sunday Family Films
Directed by Ben Sharpsteen, Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske
With Kathryn Beaumont, Ed Wynn, Sterling Holloway
Rated G, 75 minutes, Blu-ray
Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Walt Disney had a long history. Disney used a short of the film to help finance his pictures as he got his studio off the ground. A feature adaptation was inevitable, but the pathway there proved winding and long-fitting for a film about Wonderland. After roughly three decades of fits and starts, Alice in Wonderland was released in 1951. It was really upon its re-release in the early 1970s that it cemented itself as not only a Disney classic but a classic American film. The film follows Alice following the White Rabbit down a rabbit hole and into Wonderland, where she encounters a raft of strange characters, some of whom would like to have her head.
