Review: Disney's Alice in Wonderland is one of the most famous non-princess animation pieces that has ever been produced.  This classic tale was brought to life by the animating wizards at Disney back in 1951.  Alice in Wonderland is one of those epic films that has made it's stamp on American culture.  Its wildly entertaining, trippy and fun.  The newer Tim Burton live-action film was great, but there is nothing like the classic cartoon!

The transfer into blu-ray high definition was wonderful, especially for being such and old film!  I mean 60 years old and the colors are so vibrant now and they just pop on the screen!  Disney has done a fantastic job of not only restoring, but improving on this classic!
