First of all, there IS least 1 widescreen DVD of this film available from Region 1. It's from MoviesUnlimited.com, which as of Xmas 2013 had it on sale for less than $10, and if you log on to the website at the right time, you may get a $5 coupon. The film doesn't look great because it is public domain, but the image is still better than the appalling Pan and Scan versions I've seen. As for the film itself, there are far worse versions of Alice. Some of the FX still impress (Alice shrinking) and Robert Helpmann and Flora Robson look exactly like Tenniel's Mad Hatter and Queen of Hearts. Overall, a mixed bag, but worth seeing for Alice buffs.
