Alice in Wonderland is the disney version of Lewis Carroll's children's story. Alice becomes bored and her mind starts to wander. On a golden afternoon, young Alice follows a white rabbit, who disappears down a nearby rabbit hole. Quickly following him, she tumbles into the burrow - and enters the merry, topsy-turvy world of Wonderland! Memorable songs and whimsical escapades highlight Alice's journey, which culminates in a madcap encounter with the queen of Hearts - and her army of playing cards!

I feel that this movie is suitable for children of any age. They will be quickly drawn into the bright colors and unpredictable plot of the film. Children will be entertained by the characters and will be on the edge of their seats throughout the very end. I was impressed by the digitally restored color to make the film more modern. I hadn't seen this film in about 10 years but I watched it again when I received it, and it's still as good as ever.
