There she encounters the grinning Cheshire Cat (Sterling Holloway), joins the Mad Hatter's (Ed Wynn) tea party, and falls foul of the ill-tempered Queen of Hearts (Verna Felton) during a game of croquet. When Alice (Charlotte Henry) steps through a mirror, she finds herself in an enchanted land where - among many other colourful characters and experiences - chess pieces come to life, a hookah-smoking caterpillar shows her how to change sizes by eating pieces of mushroom, a baby changes into a pig and a Cheshire Cat dissolves into thin air. She loves the part where the rabbit runs around stating he is late, loves the moment when Alice eats the carrot from the rabbit, and becomes smaller, loves the dog sweeping away the path, adores the moon which becomes a cheshire cat.

But the song "I Give Myself Very Good Advice" and the unsatisfying adaptation of "The Walrus and Carpenter" bring the story to a halt. My granddaughter loves rabbits, and loves this DVD of Alice in Wonderland, she adores Alice, and from the moment the white rabbit appears, she watches intently for the rabbit to reappear. I particularly loved the cat and mouse game of chase between Alice and the rabbit, the colours are beautiful and the world of Wonderland is like no other.

Though a variation to the original Alice in Wonderland plot you will certainly agree that this is a place like no place on earth. Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse.

Alice's chase down the rabbit hole leads to her encounters with many odd characters culled from both books, from Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee to the Walrus and the Carpenter to the Cheshire Cat and the Caterpillar. There are lots of extras on the blu-ray, including an introduction by Walt Disney, lengthy featurettes and some sections of animation as pencil drawings. So pleased that Laura Morera has a permanent record of a major role, alongside her Lady Elgar, the wonderful rejection solo in Dances at a Gathering, and her creation in .I myself am not a fan of Alice and Wonderland but found this a version lovely and not as over the top others. It’s a joy to look at and packed with featured roles that show off the Royal Ballet’s strength in depth. Bob Crowley’s vivid sets and costumes take us down the rabbit hole into a colourful world full of curious creatures and captivating characters while Joby Talbot’s original score is full of sweeping melodies and contemporary sounds. The film is set 19 years after Alice's first trip to Underland, and Burton makes use of this fact very cleverly throughout the film.

In the hands of Disney’s extraordinary animation artists, Lewis Carroll’s immortal literary classic comes to life like never before! Partly thanks (I suspect) to the grounding the book gave the film, the plot unfolded smoothly throughout, with no sense of artificiality - disbelief was certainly suspended.There was also a very welcome use of humour at various points which lifted the film to a whole other level. Sound clarity is also greatly improved over my old DVD and I found myself hearing pieces of dialogue as if for the first time.
