Critic Reviews

  • Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader

    What's really disappointing is the undistinguished animation: the film looks and plays more like the Disney shorts than the Disney features.

  • Variety Staff, Variety

    Walt Disney has gone a long way towards tightening the leisurely, haphazard adventure of Alice in the wonderland of her imagination.

  • Bosley Crowther, New York Times

    If you are not too particular about the images of Carroll and Tenniel, if you are high on Disney whimsey and if you'll take a somewhat slow, uneven pace, you should find this picture entertaining.

  • David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews

    ...a watchable yet thoroughly forgettable piece of work...

    Despite nice elements in this Oscar-nominated Disney feature, the movie was at the time a commercial flop, but deserves to be seen.

    Trippy as hell. Comes to show how twisted Disney's minds can be. I wasn't interested throughout CUZ I DON'T SMOKE BRO

    Just recently saw this movie after so many years! Not what I expected and not really Disney-like. Many things in this movie would never be seen in a G-rated movie in today's standards. Freaky.
