ALICE
IN WONDERLAND
The
animated movie "Alice in Wonderland" by Walt Disney, is
came out in theaters on July 28, 1951, but didn't had the
success hoped. The animated feature was directed by Clyde
Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson and Hamilton Luske and is an adaptation
of the book namesake by Lewis Carroll. Alice's dream is
a wonderful fantasy that seems invented own for the world
of cartoons. In this movie, Disney found his inspiration
wonderfull and imaginative, and takes in the fairy tale,
the maximum visual suggestion, which had already faced twenty
years ago, for a short film in black and white, inspired
by the blonde young girl dreamer.
The movie begins with Alice's sister who tells him the story,
while Alice lay on the lawn bored and thinks to play with
her kitten Orestes. Suddenly she sees a strange white rabbit,
characterized by a vest and a pair of glasses, looking at
his watch pocket, with the anxiety of being late. Then he
sneaks inside a hollow tree trunk and disappeared.

but when she enters in tree trunk, falls into an abyss without

of the skirt, which acts as a parachute. Alice continues
to follow the rabbit, but this does not stop for a moment.
The curious maiden, comes to a cottage and when is about
to open the door, the lock is complaining about being grabbed
by the nose. Alice also has some difficulty in entering,
because the door is very narrow, but the lock invites she,
to take the bottle on the table in the room. Alice, though
with some hesitation, she drinks the contents of the bottle
and suddenly starts to shrink. Once inside, she asked to
eat a cookie and when Alice taste it, starts to become so
great that her head touches the roof of the house. Alice
is desperate because she understands that can't exit to
the door, will remain trapped inside the house, so she starts
to cry so much, to flood the house. She decides to drink
another sip from the bottle, and so again becomes small.
Now, however, she must be careful not to drown in the sea
of tears that she has produced, but fortunately manages
to escape through the keyhole. To which ask the their help,
by the waves which surround she, but in vain. Fortunately,
the waves carry her in a dry place after having dried the
clothes, running in circles (as suggested the birds) Alice
