My own world...



First song from Alice in Wonderland!

This was not the original opening Song. Before there was a song known as "beyond the laughing sky" but Kathryn Beaufort (Alice's voice) could not sing it and it was too slow, so this song replaced it.

This movie, like most Alice Movies, was a flop when it was first released. It grew to be very popular in the 1960's though as a cult film.

The Jabberwocky segment was supposed to be in the film too, but remnants stay in the movie (a song references the poem, and a character from the poem appears.

The movie combines "Alice in wonderland" and "beyond the looking glass"

Sterling Holloway, the Cheshire Cat, played The Frog in a 1930's version of Alice.

The movie was edited to a one hour format and was the first Disney movie shown on TV. It was also originally promoted on TV... however TV's at that point were in black and white.

Disney also made a Mickey Cartoon in the 30's about Mickey going through a mirror. HOwever, it is more slapstick then this version. (and alot shorter)

I'm not really up on Alice, so I'm sorry I can't say more.

Enjoy!
