Based on the 1865 book by Lewis Carroll, this is the classic Disney animated version of Alice’s adventures as she follows a white rabbit into a “Wonderland” of her own imagination. On her journey, she encounters the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat, and a host of other beloved characters brought to life with the usual Disney zest.
