This Disney animation follows Alice, a girl whose mind wanders as she as her aunt reads to her. She says she would prefer a world where nothing makes sense. Later as she walks along the river with her cat she sees a white rabbit wearing a waistcoat. She follows in into its rabbit hole and enters a strange world. It is a world where consuming certain things make you shrink and others make you grow to a great size. She also meets a succession of strange characters; Tweedledum and Tweedledee, who insist on telling her the tale of the Walrus and the Carpenter; the Cheshire Cat; a smoking caterpillar; the March Hare, Mad Hatter and the Dormouse and finally the dangerous Queen of Hearts.
It must be stated that he animation in this film is top notch; it is hard to believe in this day of CGI that every frame was drawn by hand. There is constant movement; often featuring many different things in motion at once. However the story isn't the strongest; it feels as if Alice is just moving from one character to the next; each providing a song that isn't that memorable. There are highlights of course; thankfully one of those is the end section when Alice meets the Queen of Hearts and most of the characters we have met are reunited in a trial scene. This provides a degree of tension but nothing that isn't suitable for younger viewers. Overall I wouldn't consider this to be one of Disney's finest but it is still worth watching if you enjoy classic animation.
