Alice in Wonderland (1951)
An animated musical film Alice in Wonderland (1951) was produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures. It is based on Lewis Carroll’s novels, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. In an English park, a young girl named Alice and her cat Dinah are distracted from her sister’s history lesson as she daydreams of a nonsensical world. She sees a White Rabbit hurry past in a waistcoat and follows him down a deep rabbit hole. Upon entering Wonderland, she comes across a small door with a bottle on the table next to it. The bottle’s label instructs her to drink, causing her to shrink to the right size, but she realizes she has left the key on the table. To solve this problem, she eats a cookie that makes her grow too large. Frustrated by these constant changes, Alice begins to cry and fills the room with her tears.
After shrinking by taking a sip from the bottle and using it to enter through a keyhole, Alice embarks on a journey following the Rabbit. Along the way, she meets various characters such as Tweedledum and Tweedledee who share the story of “The Walrus and the Carpenter”. Eventually, Alice finds herself at the Rabbit’s house where she is mistakenly assumed to be his housemaid. She is sent inside to retrieve his gloves but ends up eating a cookie which causes her to grow giant and get stuck in the house. The Rabbit becomes afraid of her and asks for help from the Dodo who suggests burning down the house. Luckily, Alice manages to escape by eating a carrot from the Rabbit’s garden which shrinks her back to 3 inches tall. As she continues to follow him, Alice encounters talking flowers who initially greet her with a song but then banish her upon realizing she is human and not one of them.
