This was supposedly the short film that made Walt Disney famous. It was screened on Disney Channel's "Late Night Vault" program and began with an introduction. Apparently Alice, played by Virginia Davis (who would play Alice in many other shorts later on), was the basis for other Disney cartoons. She was the young actress that made Disney famous.
The movie begins with Alice visiting an animation studio where she is given samples of drawings and seems enthralled by them. Later that night while she is asleep she visits a land of animation in her dream and interacts with all kinds of cartoon animals and people.
"Alice's Wonderland" was the first of its kind and revolutionized the whole concept of film and animation as mediums. Its influence would be felt for years, through "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" to "Space Jam." In terms of entertainment this isn't the best - I'm giving it a seven out of ten based on a few factors, mainly I'm taking into consideration its effect and importance. Graded against today's animation it is, of course, very dated. But it had to all start somewhere.
