1) Amazon.com
Imaginatively rendered but slightly chilly, this 1951 Disney adaptation of the Lewis Carroll classic is also appropriately surreal. Alice (voiced by Kathryn Beaumont) has all the anticipated experiences: shrinking and growing, meeting the White Rabbit, having tea with the Mad Hatter, etc. Characterization is very strong, and the Disney team worked hard to bring screen personality to Carroll's eccentric creations. For a Disney film, however, it seems more the self-satisfied sum of its inventiveness than a truly engaging experience. --Tom Keogh

Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5

1) Alice in Wonderland special edition   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I just loved watching this special edition for it was in perfect condition. This brought back memories of watching such a classic

2) If you care about Disney Movie Rewards and the slip-on commemorative cover...   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
For anyone out there [like me] who is a Disney Movie Rewards member, this is not an eligible movie. I bought this movie to update my Disney collection and also because I wanted to rack up the points for the Disney Movie Rewards program. The rest of the classic [digitally remastered] DVDs that I've purchased from a regular retail store has always come with insert [code], but this one [and Cinderella] did not. They also did not have the commemorative slip-on cover. It was just the plain DVD case. Which is fine, but it did not match the rest of my collection. Other than that, the movie's great and my order came on time.

3) One of Disneys Best   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Figured it looked like time for a real review of this film. I'll start off by responding to one of the previous criticisms in that this release is only available in full screen. Well, widescreen was pretty much non-existent at the time this film came out and the first film Disney did for widescreen theaters was Lady and the Tramp, this movie was never widescreen.That aside this is truly a Disney classic, it has a great cast of characters and follows a somewhat skit style in that the film is mostly seperated in to individual encounters, each one as entertaining as those before it. There's some musical portions and comedic portions which usually border on the wierd side of the comedy spectrum, but not in a bad way.The story is used more as a means to facilitate the encounters rather than serve as a focus for the audience, which actually works quite well in making the film enjoyable but not overly dramatic. The animation is very well done for its day and it has a few decent extra's that consist mostly of old TV spots and shows from when Alice was released.

4) Satisfaction   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
The product was exactly what I want and was delivered in time for Christmans. I'm really glad with the Amazon Customer Satisfaction Service !!!
