Released on this day in 1951, Alice in Wonderland became the 13th of Disney's animated features. It was based on the Alice books by Lewis Carroll. The film features the voices of Kathryn Beaumont (who later voiced Wendy Darling in the 1953 Disney film Peter Pan) as Alice, and Ed Wynn as the Mad Hatter. Disney first attempted unsuccessfully to adapt Alice into an animated feature film during the 1930s, and finally revived the idea in the 1940's. The film was originally intended to be a live-action/animated film, however, Disney decided to make it an all-animated feature in 1946. While the film was critically panned on its initial release, the movie proved to be ahead of its time and has since been regarded as one of Disney's greatest animated classics, notably one of the biggest cult classics in the animation medium, as well as one of the best film adaptations of Alice.
Whatever, this is one messed up movie y'all...
