😎👍 A Disney film that features drawn (2-D) animation that everyone seems to overlook is "Home On The Range" (2004). 🐮 It's another movie in which the cast is mostly talking animals, all of them with very familiar instantly recognizable celebrity voices. I personally think it includes some of Alan Menken's best music. 🐄
A recommendation for an Adventure and Fantasy film that I think is very good is "Stardust" from 2007 in case you haven't seen it. I don't know how the film recommendation works and unfortunately I STILL don't have access to Patreon so I'm making this comment. Great content.
Definitely the original Dumbo (1940)! And, maybe after, you could watch the 2019 remake, and see what's changed. Just food for thought, though. Keep it up, you're doing great, Tim!
“Mary Ann” was like Jane Doe- a name that upper crust folks called servant girls they didn’t bother to learn the names of. In the White Rabbit’s case, he’s so scatterbrained he will only call his servant Mary Ann, and he doesn’t even differentiate between Alice and his servant
Everyone screaming the story is an acid trip and all that. No one stops to think about its moral: "Be careful what you ask for, you may get it. End even then, it's not going to be what you expect." It is also about a girl's change from reckless childhood to becoming responsible. "Time to stop being silly and act mature." Alice was one of Walt's favorite books. He attempted to make it several times. None of which ever really took off. The best Live action version is "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" with Fiona Fullerton. It's very close to the first book. And yes Fiona did become one of the James Bond ladies later one.
Yes. The author was basically a philosopher. It raises several moral questions such as the criticism of the ethics that we could call anti-guarantor of the queen of hearts, who punishes without prior trial, which by the way coincides closely with the attitude of current feminism of judging and punishing men without first proving their guilt.
@@leandrodavidgarcia5711 Very good comparison. But it can compare to many things going on these days, making judgements without learned investigations. The Queen''s rage and brashness and the Duchess's on-again-off-again wanderlust mind was also a mockery of Queen Victoria and the upper class. Even the caterpillar and his hookah were a snub at England's upper class of the time.
well, although I prefer to see the summaries that bring out the lesson and symbolism that the story contained, because I tried to re watch it, but every time I got lost.

@jessquinn6106 The moral of the book was very different. It was about never losing your imagination, enjoying how vivid it is while you're a child and hanging onto it even as you get older. Alice tells her sister all about her dream in the book and the sister envies Alice's wild imagination.
This voice cast is seriously stacked! Kathryn Beaumont didn't just provide the voice for Alice but, she also dressed up as Alice and provided live action reference for the animators. She also did the same duties as Wendy in "Peter Pan". Also Verna Felton who did the voice of the Queen of Hearts, actually did many voices for Disney, in fact, the year before "Alice in Wonderland" was released she was the voice of The Fairy Godmother in "Cinderella"!
She was often busybody characters, no matter what side she was on. Aunt Sarah and the lead elephant in Dumbo are good examples, but even Flora in Sleeping Beauty had that vibe.
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 I can see that actually. I was saying that even with busybody vibes, the Fairy Godmother is such a warm, soft spoken, grandmother type of character, which is the polar opposite of the Queen of Hearts.

My favorite version of Alice In Wonderland. The 2010 live action one traumatized me as a kid,and not to mention that it was my mom who forced me to watch it with her. She didn't understand why I was crying in fear and so she claimed I was being a baby over it. Getting traumatized by watching a movie is a real thing. I think it was more from Johnny Depp's character as the Mad Hatter that got me traumatized the most. Don't get me wrong,I like the Mad Hatter. But see him as a real life person is unsettling to me. I recently watched the Black Butler version of Alice In Wonderland called Ciel In Wonderland,and it's very goofy. Especially Undertaker as the Mad Hatter. It's pure perfection. The animated Disney movie live up to my childhood.
i watched this movie soo many times as a kid only for the hatter and the hare scene. the hare saying in spanish "we have to treat crazy people with care!!" while smashing the clock was top comedy.
Fun fact: Kathryn Beaumont aka Alice and Wendy from Peter Pan isn’t the only cast member from Peter Pan in this movie. Bill Thompson aka the White Rabbit also played in Peter Pan as Mr. Smee
Fun fact: This movie holds the record for most songs in a Disney movie. 19! Granted, most of them are under a minute long, but still, that's impressive!
I had never thought of it this way before, but in fact Alice In Wonderland has a few parallels to The Wizard Of Oz: Both feature a young female protagonist, stuck in a strange fantasy land and trying to find a way home; and both feature a villain (Miss Gulch and the Queen Of Hearts) who could be described as a sort of proto-Karen. And, for the film versions at least, it ends up being all just a dream. OR IS IT
This is another delightful Disney classic. There were so many memorable characters like the Mad Hatter, Queen of Hearts, Cheshire Cat, and of course Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum. There’s are so much charming characters and moments to enjoy. Did you know that the same actress that voiced Wendy in Peter Pan also voiced Alice in this movie? That’s a really amazing fun fact.
Don’t forget that the Cheshire Cat shares the same voice as Pooh Bear, plus Kaa the Snake(Sterling Holloway). And also, the Queen of Hearts is played by the same voice as Flora, the fairy from Sleeping Beauty, Aunt Sarah from Lady and the Tramp, and Colonel Hathi’s wife in the Jungle Book(Verna Felton).
Alice was originally going to have more songs, but the directors and Walt Disney agreed that Kathryn Beaumont didn't have the necessary vocal range. They didn't want to replace Beaumont, so they cut most of Alice's songs and completely rewrote "A World of My Own" to better fit her singing ability.
The late Alan Rickman did the voice of the centipede in 2016's "Alice Through The Looking Glass" which was Rickman's last credited role before his passing.
Wonderful to see that you’re still looking at Disney’s classic animated movies! 😎 Still waiting to see your reaction to The Great Mouse Detective (1986)! It’s criminally underrated!
If you recognize the voice of the Chesire cat, it’s Sterling Holloway, the same voice actor who did Winnie the Pooh and Kaa the python from the Jungle book.
@@morganghostbusters-egonfan this guy was also the voice of a lot of others Disney characters (in old movies) and I can't name them all because the list is very long
Fun fact: Alice in Wonderland was another attempt at making a film adaptation of Lewis Caroll's novel of the same name, originally planned to be released in 1939, but it was scrapped as it was replaced with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The original pitch looked and played out very differently. (which was at the same animation studio "Walt Disney") Now all you wonder, why was this 1939 pitch version of Alice In Wonderland canceled and (later) changed from what we have today? Well for two reasons: Reason Number 1. Very hard to make it animated as it will cost too much money. (Which i will give this, the artwork of the storyboard LOOKS BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING⭐⭐🤩🤩) and Reason Number 2. It would been very dark for an animated film, as Wonderland's denizens were monstrous and brutal.😨😨😱😱 The Mad Hatter and March Hare were going to slice off Alice's legs with scissors and knives, hostile bully birds attacking Alice, and even the Queen of Hearts were going to kill Alice with a realistic guillotine in the end. Hanging corpses, discarded skulls, and instruments of torture all feature. 😬😬🤯🤯😧😧😨😨😱😱🥶🥶 My opinion: after I discovered this, we are so glad we got this, because if we had this version made completely then maybe "Pinnochio" (considered the darkest Disney movie by many fans) wouldn't be the darkest Disney movie compared to what we have with this one! Seriously this scrapped 1939 pitch version of Disney Alice in Wonderland was so Terrifying that it makes me have nightmares for WEEKS!😱😱😨😨 To give you an idea here is a full video of the storyboard of the scrap version that we never got! (I really recommend you to see it, because of the gorgeous artwork by David Hall who also made the script) Link: ruclips.net/video/uGhSYCuLfpc/видео.htmlsi=PXC6ZOclsKsagxWe So tell me TimotheeReacts and everyone what were your thoughts about this?
@Scrat351 Interestingly, the plan was still in place to make it. You can see Alice In Wonderland and Peter Pan as books in the opening scene of Pinocchio, which were supposed to hint towards them becoming Disney movies. The war and Disney not doing so well delayed them, but Cinderella was such a success that they got put back into production in the 1950s.
They were hinting at this all being a dream right from the get go, with the door puzzle. Often in dreams, you desire it, and that makes it so. The table, key, and box of cakes only appeared once they were suggested to her.
I have 30+ versions of Alice in Wonderland on Blu-ray and DVD. Including live action versions, animated versions, the nightmare fueled stop motion Czech version, and horror versions.
One of my favorite Disney movies from my childhood. Thanks, Tim, and a happy tuesday to you as well. Take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
I was surprised that you saw it. I haven't watched the movie since I was little, although I tried to watch the movie again many times, but as a child the Queen of Hearts and the Cheshire Cat scared me a lot.
This film is basically an ACID TRIP in the entire runtime which is great because its basically what the concept is in the book. Its like entering a dreamworld. Other films that i may have recommend to you that have that ACID TRIP effect are Satoshi Kon's Paprika (2006), Isao Takahata's Pom Poko (1994) and Henry Sellick's Coraline (2009).
I LOVE this movie, i grew up with this movie since i was a kid, I have memories of watching this movie, i am so glad you’re watching the live action versions of Alice In Wonderland it’s pretty good.
I went to an Alice in Wonderland escape room in Rome and it was amazing. It was like being in the movie. My favourite was crawling around in the White Rabbit’s house. Super cute
The Tim Burton movie of the same title isn't the same story at all (which in turn isn't really the same story as the book). It's Burton's newly invented sequel. He really should have called it Return To Wonderland or something like that, rather than confusing people who are expecting the classic story. I can't stand what he did, myself.
The pointing out with the R in March is a reference to an old saying that you should only eat oysters on months with an R in it (September to April) because in other months they'll spoil easily (note this was from before ice boxes and fridges became a thing).
This is the most Acid Trip Disney movie that you will ever see. What you are witnessing is basically Alice entering the dreamworld where she meets some of the most unusual and unique characters in the process. This is based on Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel of the same name. Its actually one of my favourite Disney movies because of its surrealistic and dreamlike world building. My other movie suggestions to you Tim and i hope that you will watch next or sooner is Paprika (2006), Pom Poko (1994), Coraline (2009), I Lost My Body (2019) and Weathering with You (2019). Those are pretty much some of the films that have those kinds of factors in a different way and they are also some of my favorites too. Surrealistic and unique at the same. Paprika in particular. 😊😊
Same and when we think about it, he's (with the caterpillar) the only one who really helps Alice. Also, his french voice actor is considered as a legend because he was also the french voice of so many Disney characters that I can't mentionned all of them
Alice doesn't realize it, but she is also working with the internal logic of the dream, that's the reason she reacts so nonchalantly to everything, because in dreams our brains rationalize nonsense as logic; it happens from the moment she starts dreaming and gets off the tree, suddenly Dinah's behavior seems more antropomorphic, she doesn't question the fact that the rabbit speaks, runs in two legs and wears clothes, she doesn't even react to the talking pommel and so on and so forth, she even intertwines real world logic, like how she was told to stay where she is and wait to be found if she ever got lost, but she doesn't even question where she is standing, why it is so dark or why a dog broom suddenly erased the road. In hindsight, we all can tell we were dreaming nonsense when we wake up, but few of us actually realize we're dreaming while it is happening no matter how absurd the dream is.
Yes, the film went to black and white for a few seconds. We had this movie on VHS when I was a kid in the late 80's and I thought it was because of the tape but I noticed this was on the Blu-ray, so I think this was done on purpose to symbolize that the watch is "dead" (it could also be a nod to Disney's Alice Comedies which was a series of films of live action animated short movies about a live action girl named Alice in a cartoon world, which was the first things the Disney Studio ever did, even before they did Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Mickey Mouse in the 1920's, done by Walt Disney, Rudoplh Ising, Hugh Harman and Isador "Friz" Freling).
I squealed when I saw you had Alice in Wonderland on your notices. As a child, reading the book opened my horizons like nothing else before it and showed the endless possibilities of books. It was more cynical than the disney adaptation as the illustrations were more nightmarish, but to me, it only added to the charm. The Disney version, however, is relativity loyal to the text and themes, with the tone and animation only being fitted for the fashions of the time. Mary Blair was definitely one of a kind in the disney animation staff as she introduced pastels into the look of Disney and is still felt to this day in the current looks of many films.
Something I’ve always enjoyed about this movie is that there’s not really a plot. Like, yeah, she wants to go home but that’s really only toward the end. The movie itself is just kind of an experience. There’s no real logic to the bizarreness of Wonderland. Which makes sense since it was all a dream in the end. One of the few stories where that twist works.
The most memorable thing about reading the books is old timey brits LOVE bread & butter with tea(oh, also the rat's tail poem). Also Alice puts up with so much BS, I'd probably turn myself big as soon as I can & went kaiju on them if I was in her shoes. The live action movies are sequels, the first one turned Alice into a colonizer(and Dormouse into a bad *itch, no narcolepsy at all, her one characteristic). The second(better) one is about time(like the second book) but sadly quite forgettable since I don't remember what it really is about.
This movie at first creeped me out so much that i didnt watch for 6 years. Until i realizied how quite funny and crazy it was. In my opinion this one of the best adaptations, also originally walt did not wanted to make it.
Great reaction! The ending to Alice in Wonderland is pretty much ambiguous; it could’ve all been a dream or real. There’s actually a school production of this film that I did my senior year, I was the March Here, and in the ending Alice finds in her hand the White Rabbit’s pocket watch. The live action films are based the book Alice In Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass. After watching the live action films, I highly recommend watching Descendants: The Rise of Red as it follows the Queen of Hearts rebellious daughter, and Come Away which is on the origin of the characters Alice In Wonderland and Peter Pan, and it stars Angelina Jolie. 👩🏼🦱🐇⏱🐰🎩🐱🦋👸🏻❤️🖤💛
I always like to watch this Disney film. It may be nonsensical, but it is all in good fun too. My favorite character is the Cheshire Cat because he’s kind of a playful troll.😄 Also my favorite scenes are the Mad Tea Party, plus the Court/Trail scene, as they have some of my favorite gags in the entire film.
It's definitely been at lead 40 years since I last watched this movie. Definitely a good reminder to watch it with my kids before the get too old to enjoy it. But sadly they may not enjoy it because it's not Pixar. I tried to get them to watch Snow White and they had no interest. Broke my heart.
Alice in wonderland is a classic but always been such a weird movie to me. Don’t get me wrong I do like some things about it like the animation is great the songs are catchy the characters are likeable but the story was like if I was drank and I dreamt the whole thing 😄 fun fact the voice actress who played Wendy Darling in Peter Pan was the same girl playing Alice 😊thanks for the reaction Tim I enjoyed it 😄💙💙
I Do Remember Watching This Movie Back In July 2023 It Was Great I Loved Alice In Woderland From 1951 I Rate The Film 9/10 I Do Love The Tea Scene And The Red Queen Saying Off My Head
I didn't know but I guess in the end it was a dream and Alice was asleep but I like this one though. The way they treated Alice was not right I mean they kept being mad at her without letting her explain anything that wasn't right to treat kids. And I like how any movies and shows do the scooby doo door chase reference lol it's funny
Je me souviens que quand j'étais en grande section de maternelle (quand j'avais 5 ans), mon école avait joué l'histoire d'Alice aux pays des merveilles pour la kermesse. J'ai lu sur Internet que le pouvoir du Chat de Cheshire était une référence à une tradition du fromage de Chester (il est souvent appelé le Chat de Chester) qui est modelé en forme de chat et consommé en commençant par la queue pour finir avec le sourire. D'ailleurs, en parlant du chat de Cheshire, si on fait bien attention, il est (avec la chenille) le seul a vraiment aider Alice quand elle en a besoin, malgré ses pitreries. Il lui conseille de voir le livre de Mars et le Chapelier, et le lapin blanc y vient plus tard, puis il l'oriente vers la reine de Cœur (référence aux jeux de cartes) et elle arrive a rentrer chez elle. Quant à sa chanson, il s'agit de la première et la dernière strophe du poème " Le Jaberwocky " écrit par Lewis Caroll (l'auteur de " Alice au pays des merveilles ") Ce chat est également un des nombreux personnages Disney doublés en France par le regretté Roger Carel.
While this is a classic, there's a two part mini-series from the 80s that's my absolute favorite version! It's the one with Natalie Gregory if you want to look it up. ^_^
Say, the 1999 Alice in Wonderland movie follows both books at the same time quite accurately, so I'd really like to see your reaction to it. As about the 2010/2016 movies, they're cool in their own way... and in fact, the 2016 one (Alice through the Looking-Glass) grew out of A SINGLE PHRASE in the book. Amazing, how such tiny things can grow
Hey TimotheeReacts, can you do a reaction to Fun and Fancy Free? because Bongo and Mickey & The Beanstalk are both in the full-length feature film, also they are two short films Fun Fact: Jiminy Cricket was appearing in this entire film, he is a supporting character from Pinocchio, also Chip ‘n Dale are only in the Bongo short film
This version is, well not my favorite but its a wonderful interpretation. It combines both of the books but unfortunetly leaves out a lot of charactera and parts. White knight, Jabberwocky, The Duchess. The books are insane lol. If you have never read then I highly reccomend reading the two books (they are fairly short) but if you do read them, then read "Annotated Alice" instead. it's a book that explains why things are the way they are in the sidelines of the two books so you can get explanations and context alongside reading the books. Theres a lot of commentary on Victorian society and politeness and the books have scenes (and this movie) that make a mockery of it. Highly reccomend it. Their influence cannot be understated and if memory serves me correctly it's the second most published book ever. (The first being "The Bible" I am not sure where it ranks nowadays as when I learned that it was about 10 years ago) Still love this movie. It's silly, irreverant and nonsensical which is very in spirit of the books.
Interesting fact: Despite being considered a Disney Classic today, Alice in Wonderland didn't perform very well on its original premiere in the 50s. Both critically and financially. But then they re-released in the 70s and did WAY better. Take a wild guess why.
I love this movie, it's so full of imagination and color and nonsense. I always enjoy seeing it again. At the same time, it really trashes Lewis Carroll's book. (Besides misspelling his name in the opening credits.) It takes episodes from two books and intercuts them, usually dumbing them down (including Walt's usual obsession with buttocks -- note that the trial is for Alice exposing the queen in her underwear, whereas in the book it's the Knave Hearts on trial for stealing the queen's tarts). The author was a shy and proper 19th-century Oxford professor, Charles Dodgson, who unexpectedly revealed another side when he wrote two immortal children's fantasy books. They were based on a story he had once made up to amuse children on a picnic. Many of his other books were academic treatises on mathematics and logic; some described games and pastimes he'd invented. He was an interesting and complicated character.
The story is an example of literary nonsense. It's supposed to be nonsensical and non-linear, but at the same time, carry meaning. There is symbolism. And you can look at the way Alice is treated, as the way children are treated. Where they're told to do things, without explanation. I don't know if you've watched the live action versions yet, but bear in mind, Alice in Wonderland is supposed to be non-linear and strange. It's what makes it so magical and wonderful.
Such an imaginative film if not very emotionally involving. But then, the source material itself is more political satire than a true kids' story. My favorite version of Alice in Wonderland is the Paramount 1933 version, which has a ton of stars from that day including Cary Grant, WC Fields and Gary Cooper. The main criticism of that movie was that nobody could recognize the stars due to the heavy masks and prosthetics, so by the time MGM made The Wizard of Oz a few years later they took their cue from the failure of the 1933 Alice film and created makeup that the audience could still recognize the actors through.
Even the King of Hearts knows his wife is a huge crybaby. So much so that in the original book it is revealed that he secretly pardoned every subject the Queen sent to lose their heads.
Yes because it is dull, with actors who aren't trying, colorless environments, logic in a world that doesn't run on logic, That freakin Chosen One Prophecy, Changing the name from Wonderland to Underland, Calling it Alice in Wonderland when the title doesn't refect what is in the film, Battles and talks of war and strategy.

It’s criminally underrated!
I second that! It's equal parts cute, awesome, and funny.
If you recognize the voice of the Chesire cat, it’s Sterling Holloway, the same voice actor who did Winnie the Pooh and Kaa the python from the Jungle book.
And rogurfort from the aristocats

@@a.g.demada5263 Cool
@@morganghostbusters-egonfan this guy was also the voice of a lot of others Disney characters (in old movies) and I can't name them all because the list is very long

Fun fact: Alice in Wonderland was another attempt at making a film adaptation of Lewis Caroll's novel of the same name, originally planned to be released in 1939, but it was scrapped as it was replaced with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The original pitch looked and played out very differently. (which was at the same animation studio "Walt Disney")
Now all you wonder, why was this 1939 pitch version of Alice In Wonderland canceled and (later) changed from what we have today?
Well for two reasons:
Reason Number 1. Very hard to make it animated as it will cost too much money. (Which i will give this, the artwork of the storyboard LOOKS BEAUTIFUL and AMAZING⭐⭐🤩🤩)
and
Reason Number 2. It would been very dark for an animated film, as Wonderland's denizens were monstrous and brutal.😨😨😱😱 The Mad Hatter and March Hare were going to slice off Alice's legs with scissors and knives, hostile bully birds attacking Alice, and even the Queen of Hearts were going to kill Alice with a realistic guillotine in the end. Hanging corpses, discarded skulls, and instruments of torture all feature. 😬😬🤯🤯😧😧😨😨😱😱🥶🥶
My opinion: after I discovered this, we are so glad we got this, because if we had this version made completely then maybe "Pinnochio" (considered the darkest Disney movie by many fans) wouldn't be the darkest Disney movie compared to what we have with this one!
Seriously this scrapped 1939 pitch version of Disney Alice in Wonderland was so Terrifying that it makes me have nightmares for WEEKS!😱😱😨😨
To give you an idea here is a full video of the storyboard of the scrap version that we never got! (I really recommend you to see it, because of the gorgeous artwork by David Hall who also made the script)

So tell me TimotheeReacts and everyone what were your thoughts about this?
Walt also made a series of Alice silent flicks back in the 1920's. Half live action, half animated like Mary Poppins
I'm pretty sure that the scene where the Queen Of Hearts trying to execute Alice with a guillotine was part of the 2010 live action movie.
And also the Disney Studios were affected by the start of World War II, that became a factor too.
@Scrat351 Interestingly, the plan was still in place to make it. You can see Alice In Wonderland and Peter Pan as books in the opening scene of Pinocchio, which were supposed to hint towards them becoming Disney movies. The war and Disney not doing so well delayed them, but Cinderella was such a success that they got put back into production in the 1950s.
They were hinting at this all being a dream right from the get go, with the door puzzle.
Often in dreams, you desire it, and that makes it so. The table, key, and box of cakes only appeared once they were suggested to her.
Alice in Wonderland in a nutshell: "Dude let me tell you about this weird dream I had"
I have 30+ versions of Alice in Wonderland on Blu-ray and DVD. Including live action versions, animated versions, the nightmare fueled stop motion Czech version, and horror versions.
The voice of The Caterpillar is the same actor as Uncle Max in Sound of Music! Richard Haydn
One of my favorite Disney movies from my childhood. Thanks, Tim, and a happy tuesday to you as well. Take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
I was surprised that you saw it. I haven't watched the movie since I was little, although I tried to watch the movie again many times, but as a child the Queen of Hearts and the Cheshire Cat scared me a lot.
This film is basically an ACID TRIP in the entire runtime which is great because its basically what the concept is in the book. Its like entering a dreamworld. Other films that i may have recommend to you that have that ACID TRIP effect are Satoshi Kon's Paprika (2006), Isao Takahata's Pom Poko (1994) and Henry Sellick's Coraline (2009).
Very fantastic voice actors in Alice in wonderland.
I LOVE this movie, i grew up with this movie since i was a kid, I have memories of watching this movie, i am so glad you’re watching the live action versions of Alice In Wonderland it’s pretty good.
13:28 puppy flower is so cute!!!
I went to an Alice in Wonderland escape room in Rome and it was amazing. It was like being in the movie. My favourite was crawling around in the White Rabbit’s house. Super cute
"Mustard?!?! Don't let's be silly! 🤮
... now, lemon, that's different." 😂
The Tim Burton movie of the same title isn't the same story at all (which in turn isn't really the same story as the book). It's Burton's newly invented sequel. He really should have called it Return To Wonderland or something like that, rather than confusing people who are expecting the classic story. I can't stand what he did, myself.
What he did was make an awesome movie. Burton is one of the GOATs!
The pointing out with the R in March is a reference to an old saying that you should only eat oysters on months with an R in it (September to April) because in other months they'll spoil easily (note this was from before ice boxes and fridges became a thing).
Ah thanks for the explanation. It's been years I didn't understand that
Happy Birthday to MAD HATTER Blessings and HUGS! 👑💜
This did well with it’s re-release in the 60s…..
Gee I wonder why?
10:35 fun fact bill the lizard shows up in the great mouse detective
Fun fact : in France, Basile and the Cheshire Cat are voiced by the same guy
The Inspector Gadget movies might be worth checking out too
My Childhood from the early 2000s watching this movie on Disney Channel
One of my favorite Disney movies of all time!
Crazy to think that this is over 70 years old
You mentioned that Alice is voice Wendy from Peter Pan but they use the same face too!
This is the most Acid Trip Disney movie that you will ever see. What you are witnessing is basically Alice entering the dreamworld where she meets some of the most unusual and unique characters in the process. This is based on Lewis Carroll's 1865 novel of the same name. Its actually one of my favourite Disney movies because of its surrealistic and dreamlike world building. My other movie suggestions to you Tim and i hope that you will watch next or sooner is Paprika (2006), Pom Poko (1994), Coraline (2009), I Lost My Body (2019) and Weathering with You (2019). Those are pretty much some of the films that have those kinds of factors in a different way and they are also some of my favorites too. Surrealistic and unique at the same. Paprika in particular. 😊😊
The Cheshire cat has always been my favorite
Same and when we think about it, he's (with the caterpillar) the only one who really helps Alice.
Also, his french voice actor is considered as a legend because he was also the french voice of so many Disney characters that I can't mentionned all of them
Alice doesn't realize it, but she is also working with the internal logic of the dream, that's the reason she reacts so nonchalantly to everything, because in dreams our brains rationalize nonsense as logic; it happens from the moment she starts dreaming and gets off the tree, suddenly Dinah's behavior seems more antropomorphic, she doesn't question the fact that the rabbit speaks, runs in two legs and wears clothes, she doesn't even react to the talking pommel and so on and so forth, she even intertwines real world logic, like how she was told to stay where she is and wait to be found if she ever got lost, but she doesn't even question where she is standing, why it is so dark or why a dog broom suddenly erased the road.
In hindsight, we all can tell we were dreaming nonsense when we wake up, but few of us actually realize we're dreaming while it is happening no matter how absurd the dream is.
Yes, the film went to black and white for a few seconds. We had this movie on VHS when I was a kid in the late 80's and I thought it was because of the tape but I noticed this was on the Blu-ray, so I think this was done on purpose to symbolize that the watch is "dead" (it could also be a nod to Disney's Alice Comedies which was a series of films of live action animated short movies about a live action girl named Alice in a cartoon world, which was the first things the Disney Studio ever did, even before they did Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and Mickey Mouse in the 1920's, done by Walt Disney, Rudoplh Ising, Hugh Harman and Isador "Friz" Freling).
I squealed when I saw you had Alice in Wonderland on your notices. As a child, reading the book opened my horizons like nothing else before it and showed the endless possibilities of books. It was more cynical than the disney adaptation as the illustrations were more nightmarish, but to me, it only added to the charm. The Disney version, however, is relativity loyal to the text and themes, with the tone and animation only being fitted for the fashions of the time. Mary Blair was definitely one of a kind in the disney animation staff as she introduced pastels into the look of Disney and is still felt to this day in the current looks of many films.
I love this movie!!
It’s definitely a childhood favorite of mine ❤
Something I’ve always enjoyed about this movie is that there’s not really a plot. Like, yeah, she wants to go home but that’s really only toward the end. The movie itself is just kind of an experience. There’s no real logic to the bizarreness of Wonderland.
Which makes sense since it was all a dream in the end. One of the few stories where that twist works.
That "Hooray!" was from Mickeys original voice actor!
Wasn't Walt Disney himself the original voice actor?
@@strawberrysoulforever8336 He was.
There is a made for TV Alice with Whoopi as the Cheshire Cat. I thought it was very good.
The most memorable thing about reading the books is old timey brits LOVE bread & butter with tea(oh, also the rat's tail poem). Also Alice puts up with so much BS, I'd probably turn myself big as soon as I can & went kaiju on them if I was in her shoes.
The live action movies are sequels, the first one turned Alice into a colonizer(and Dormouse into a bad *itch, no narcolepsy at all, her one characteristic). The second(better) one is about time(like the second book) but sadly quite forgettable since I don't remember what it really is about.
This movie at first creeped me out so much that i didnt watch for 6 years. Until i realizied how quite funny and crazy it was. In my opinion this one of the best adaptations, also originally walt did not wanted to make it.
Great reaction! The ending to Alice in Wonderland is pretty much ambiguous; it could’ve all been a dream or real. There’s actually a school production of this film that I did my senior year, I was the March Here, and in the ending Alice finds in her hand the White Rabbit’s pocket watch. The live action films are based the book Alice In Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass. After watching the live action films, I highly recommend watching Descendants: The Rise of Red as it follows the Queen of Hearts rebellious daughter, and Come Away which is on the origin of the characters Alice In Wonderland and Peter Pan, and it stars Angelina Jolie.
👩🏼🦱🐇⏱🐰🎩🐱🦋👸🏻❤️🖤💛
I remembered that this movie is on Disney plus and it's also in the program Once Upon a Studio.
Tim burtons version of this story is great. Johnny depp is perfect as the mad hatter
I always like to watch this Disney film. It may be nonsensical, but it is all in good fun too. My favorite character is the Cheshire Cat because he’s kind of a playful troll.😄 Also my favorite scenes are the Mad Tea Party, plus the Court/Trail scene, as they have some of my favorite gags in the entire film.
It's definitely been at lead 40 years since I last watched this movie. Definitely a good reminder to watch it with my kids before the get too old to enjoy it. But sadly they may not enjoy it because it's not Pixar. I tried to get them to watch Snow White and they had no interest. Broke my heart.
Alice in wonderland is a classic but always been such a weird movie to me. Don’t get me wrong I do like some things about it like the animation is great the songs are catchy the characters are likeable but the story was like if I was drank and I dreamt the whole thing 😄 fun fact the voice actress who played Wendy Darling in Peter Pan was the same girl playing Alice 😊thanks for the reaction Tim I enjoyed it 😄💙💙
I owned “Alice In Wonderland” in VHS when I was a kid and rewatched it so many times. Some scenes scared me though 😂
I Do Remember Watching This Movie Back In July 2023 It Was Great I Loved Alice In Woderland From 1951 I Rate The Film 9/10
I Do Love The Tea Scene And The Red Queen Saying Off My Head
This movie was the child-friendly version of an acid trip.
I didn't know but I guess in the end it was a dream and Alice was asleep but I like this one though. The way they treated Alice was not right I mean they kept being mad at her without letting her explain anything that wasn't right to treat kids.
And I like how any movies and shows do the scooby doo door chase reference lol it's funny
This is my number one favorite movie of all time!!
Je me souviens que quand j'étais en grande section de maternelle (quand j'avais 5 ans), mon école avait joué l'histoire d'Alice aux pays des merveilles pour la kermesse.
J'ai lu sur Internet que le pouvoir du Chat de Cheshire était une référence à une tradition du fromage de Chester (il est souvent appelé le Chat de Chester) qui est modelé en forme de chat et consommé en commençant par la queue pour finir avec le sourire.
D'ailleurs, en parlant du chat de Cheshire, si on fait bien attention, il est (avec la chenille) le seul a vraiment aider Alice quand elle en a besoin, malgré ses pitreries. Il lui conseille de voir le livre de Mars et le Chapelier, et le lapin blanc y vient plus tard, puis il l'oriente vers la reine de Cœur (référence aux jeux de cartes) et elle arrive a rentrer chez elle.
Quant à sa chanson, il s'agit de la première et la dernière strophe du poème " Le Jaberwocky " écrit par Lewis Caroll (l'auteur de " Alice au pays des merveilles ")
Ce chat est également un des nombreux personnages Disney doublés en France par le regretté Roger Carel.
Awesome reaction of my favorite Disney movie!!!!!!😊😊😊😊😊
I love how the entire point of Alice in Wonderland (and Through the Looking Glass)...is that there IS no point.😅
3:57 Dinah wave goodbye
I love her lol
Nothing beats classic Disney!
While this is a classic, there's a two part mini-series from the 80s that's my absolute favorite version! It's the one with Natalie Gregory if you want to look it up. ^_^
Say, the 1999 Alice in Wonderland movie follows both books at the same time quite accurately, so I'd really like to see your reaction to it. As about the 2010/2016 movies, they're cool in their own way... and in fact, the 2016 one (Alice through the Looking-Glass) grew out of A SINGLE PHRASE in the book. Amazing, how such tiny things can grow
Thank you for watching this I love this ❤
Hey TimotheeReacts, can you do a reaction to Fun and Fancy Free?
because Bongo and Mickey & The Beanstalk are both in the full-length feature film, also they are two short films
Fun Fact: Jiminy Cricket was appearing in this entire film, he is a supporting character from Pinocchio, also Chip ‘n Dale are only in the Bongo short film
A great Walt Disney Classic
I haven’t seen this in a very long time
Mouse in this is so cute!
Remarkable ❤❤
This version is, well not my favorite but its a wonderful interpretation. It combines both of the books but unfortunetly leaves out a lot of charactera and parts. White knight, Jabberwocky, The Duchess. The books are insane lol.
If you have never read then I highly reccomend reading the two books (they are fairly short) but if you do read them, then read "Annotated Alice" instead. it's a book that explains why things are the way they are in the sidelines of the two books so you can get explanations and context alongside reading the books. Theres a lot of commentary on Victorian society and politeness and the books have scenes (and this movie) that make a mockery of it.
Highly reccomend it. Their influence cannot be understated and if memory serves me correctly it's the second most published book ever. (The first being "The Bible" I am not sure where it ranks nowadays as when I learned that it was about 10 years ago)
Still love this movie. It's silly, irreverant and nonsensical which is very in spirit of the books.
An underrated gem 💙❤
Super!!!Alice au pays des merveilles la meilleure version de cette histoire Faut dire qu’elle le livre est extrêmement étrange
Playin' with the Queen of Hearts
Knowin' it ain't really smart
Interesting fact: Despite being considered a Disney Classic today, Alice in Wonderland didn't perform very well on its original premiere in the 50s. Both critically and financially. But then they re-released in the 70s and did WAY better.
Take a wild guess why.
The live action Alice in Wonderland is even better
Ahhhhhh finally!! Love this movie
I love this movie, it's so full of imagination and color and nonsense. I always enjoy seeing it again.
At the same time, it really trashes Lewis Carroll's book. (Besides misspelling his name in the opening credits.) It takes episodes from two books and intercuts them, usually dumbing them down (including Walt's usual obsession with buttocks -- note that the trial is for Alice exposing the queen in her underwear, whereas in the book it's the Knave Hearts on trial for stealing the queen's tarts).
The author was a shy and proper 19th-century Oxford professor, Charles Dodgson, who unexpectedly revealed another side when he wrote two immortal children's fantasy books. They were based on a story he had once made up to amuse children on a picnic. Many of his other books were academic treatises on mathematics and logic; some described games and pastimes he'd invented. He was an interesting and complicated character.
The story is an example of literary nonsense. It's supposed to be nonsensical and non-linear, but at the same time, carry meaning.
There is symbolism. And you can look at the way Alice is treated, as the way children are treated. Where they're told to do things, without explanation.
I don't know if you've watched the live action versions yet, but bear in mind, Alice in Wonderland is supposed to be non-linear and strange. It's what makes it so magical and wonderful.
I thought Alice In Wonderland Is based on Lewis Carrol Books
It is
Such an imaginative film if not very emotionally involving. But then, the source material itself is more political satire than a true kids' story. My favorite version of Alice in Wonderland is the Paramount 1933 version, which has a ton of stars from that day including Cary Grant, WC Fields and Gary Cooper. The main criticism of that movie was that nobody could recognize the stars due to the heavy masks and prosthetics, so by the time MGM made The Wizard of Oz a few years later they took their cue from the failure of the 1933 Alice film and created makeup that the audience could still recognize the actors through.
Great Disney film.
definitely check out the great mouse detective
Even the King of Hearts knows his wife is a huge crybaby. So much so that in the original book it is revealed that he secretly pardoned every subject the Queen sent to lose their heads.
You must check out descendants : The Rise of Red. It’s pretty good
Is it weird that i don't like this movie, but liking the live action remake (2010)? ❤
Yes because it is dull, with actors who aren't trying,
colorless environments,
logic in a world that doesn't run on logic,
That freakin Chosen One Prophecy,
Changing the name from Wonderland to Underland,
Calling it Alice in Wonderland when the title doesn't refect what is in the film,
Battles and talks of war and strategy.
Yes
Yes, because other than Cinderella, every single one of those Disney live-action remakes is an act of cinematic terrorism.
Less talking...more laughing, it's not sport's commentary...it's a reaction
Cool 0:06
I love this movie
Alice Wonderland Live Action
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland with Fiona Fullerton is my fave live version.
