Summary: There is no better!
Review: Alice in Wonderland is a wonderful video for all ages! Unlike some Disney movies that can be frightening for some younger children, Alice is a great story for everyone. The Mad Hatter and the Walrus and Carpenter are great! The poetry is timeless, too. I would highly recommend this to everyone and anyone! Enjoy!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a great and funny movie!!!!
Review: I think that this is a wonderful movie. I love the songs and everything about it. I especially like the Mad Tea Party, along with the Cheshire Cat and Tweedle Dee and Tweede Dum. Other great Disney movies include Cinderella and Snow White. If you prefer live-action try Mary Poppins.

Summary: A Wonderful Story Brillianty Animated
Review: Walt Disney has brought to life many classic children stories, and Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland could be no exception. The Disney Company actually mixed both Alice's stories ("Alice's Adventures In Wonderland" and "Through The Looking Glass") into one, resulting and extraordinary masterpiece with beautiful animation, extraordinary music, unforgettable charachters and all the non-sense of that wonderful place called Wonderland. A true Disney classic. END

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Certainly Disney's finest hour.
Review: Although there have been many film versions of Lewis Carroll's classic story about Alice's adventures in Wonderland, Disney's 1951 animated version is by far the best. The "Alice" stories themselves are timeless classics that deserve to be passed down from one generation to the next, and this film deserves to be handed down along with those original stories.

"Alice in Wonderland" is by far the best animated film to ever come from the Disney studios, and is easily one of the most magical and imaginitive films ever made...period. I still remember the first time I saw this cinematic gem when I was around 3 years old, and have loved it ever since.

I also now own the Disney CD soundtrack which contains not only all the wonderful songs from the film, but also the entire original, and extremely delightful, instrumental pieces heard throughout the film. (By the way, any LP version you might happen to find of Disney's "Alice in Wonderland" soundtrack is simply an imitation with re-recorded versions of the actual songs heard in the movie. The recently released CD/Cassette version I'm referring to is truly the film's original soundtrack."

I highly recommend buying both the film itself, and its enduring original soundtrack. Trust me, you won't be disappointed with either purchase.

"Alice in Wonderland" is truly a wonderful, magical animated masterpiece that can be enjoyed by the entire family, both young and old. I just wish that "Di$ney" would stop releasing the crap they're putting out now and try to regain the magical quality that left the studio after Walt's death.

Summary: Follow the white rabbit Neo - no sorry, I mean Alice
Review: I just spent a couple of hours looking at this wonderful movie and the extra features. The aptly named Masterpiece Edition is worth every penny, and like The Matrix, should be included in any movie collection, whether you have a child to hide behind or not.

Beautifully adapted and animated from Lewis Carroll's highly imaginative, high-trippin' classic, the imagery and illustrated puns amaze and amuse, especially the little things like the rocking-horse fly, the bread-and-butter flies, the vultures, the pencil and hammer birds, the momeraths, and the bird in the tree (Queenie Leonard) yelling "Ser-pennnnnt !"

The animators drew each frame based on the portrayals by the actors voicing the parts, and the stand-outs are Kathryn Beaumont as Alice, Ed Wynn as the Mad Hatter, Verna Felton as the Queen of Hearts, Bill Thompson as the White Rabbit, and the very flexible and versatile J. Pat O'Malley as Tweedle Dum, Tweedle Dee, the Walrus AND the Carpenter, in one of the best scenes in the movie.

With fourteen songs, this is the most musical Disney around, but unfortunately, the songs are not very easy to sing along to, making me sound like William Hung every time I try to impress people with my thorough knowledge of the lyrics.

There are lots of interesting tidbits in the extras, such as the discarded Cheshire Cat song, and the fact that one of the songs was later re-worded for Peter Pan. There are other links between Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan, but you'll have to watch the extras to find out just what, cause I'm not telling.

For those who don't want to watch the previews at the beginning of the DVD, just press "Menu" and get plugged directly into Wonderland.

Summary: Disney-ized
Review: One of my fav children's books gets Disney-ized. I find that this version is simply AMAZING! Yes, there are LOTS of drugged out images (ie..the caterpillar is smoking an opium pipe, she eats mushrooms to get bigger or smaller etc) but its a magical story and its told VERY well by the Disney guys. Not to be missed, grab it before its out of print.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Off with her head!!!!
Review: My kids watched this movie so many times over and over that I'll bet we are burning out the DVD player and the disk. The digitally remastered version is much nicer to watch than the old version-it is much more crisp and sharp. I would recommend this movie to kids who are 3 or older-the story would be a bit too confusing to kids younger than that. It is a no brainer on this one-get it for your kids!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderland full of wonder and wackyness
Review: I saw this at 9 nine years old on the Disney Channel. just yesterday being still 20. I bought this on dvd. not only is the cartoon touching. but very funny. very wacky. like with that Cheshire cat and the Queen of Hearts. Walt Disney is brilliant with his toons. I recommend this to anyone of any age. it's captivating. and very adorable. I could watch this dvd over and over again and never get sick of it.

Summary: GRAB THIS ONE!!.....ESPECIALLY AUSTRALIANS
Review: Forget Region coding,
i don't care which country you're from,
get the Alice In Wonderland Masterpiece Edition from Amazon.

For starters,
i had it shipped over in March of 2004 from Amazon cos i'm in Australia.
It came out officially here yesterday, as a "special edition",
yesterday being Feb 2005.
And the wait is not at all worth it.

It's by no means a Special Edition.
Yeah, Special ED maybe.
Its not digitally re-mastered & re-done in the new transfer.
its disgusting.
its the offensive 1998 video transfer from the GOLD release chucked on with limited extras.
More than enough reason to hate Australian releases.
Which i do with a passion.

Bravo Amazon. You're a life saver for collectors like me.
Everybody buy every DVD from Amazon.com & you will never be
disappointed.

Hear hear, bravo.
See, those people agree with me.
