Lewis Carroll really did provide Walt Disney with a veritable Aladdin's cave of delights to work from with for this hugely entertaining and colourful adaptation of his "The Adventures of Alice in Wonderland" stories. From the start with the "White Rabbit" she has adventures, mishaps and an a-maze-ing time meeting the "Mad Hatter" the centipede; talking roses; the mischievous "Cheshire Cat"; a truly surreal tea party, and of course the "Queen of Hearts" as bonkers and over-the-top as ever the author could have imagined - you sure wouldn't want to be a flamingo at her court! The whole thing makes no sense at all, really - so don't go looking for any logical structure or story narrative - there isn't one. Oliver Wallace's cracking score lost out for the Oscar to "An American in Paris" but is still, every inch, a winner...
