Alice in Wonderland

It’s hard to realize how groundbreaking this classic Disney cartoon was when it was released to theaters 60 years ago. After years of pulling at peoples’ heart strings with animated tear-jerkers like Bambi and Dumbo, Walk Disney and his animators decide to just have fun bringing the classic Lewis Carroll story to life. The result was — and is — a delight. Some of the scenes, like the Queen of Hearts playing croquet, have become classics that you will enjoy seeing again. Some of them, like the animated version of the Walrus and the Carpenter, will be a joy to rediscover.
