Alice in Wonderland DVD Review
Alice in Wonderland Masterpiece Edition
Every once in a while the folks at Disney hunt through their vaults for a classic flick to spruce up and bring to a living room near you. This time they've worked their magic on the Lewis Carroll classic Alice in Wonderland. This is the same fantastical tale your grandparents loved as kids, but it has the look and sound of a modern DVD - not to mention awesome bonus features.
Alice in Wonder(ful)land
Unless you've been living in a cave, you know that Alice is a little girl who follows a white rabbit down a hole, and ends up having a crazy adventure. Alice meets a lot of whacked-out creatures on her trek through Wonderland - a talking cat, a smoking centipede and a singing walrus, to name a few. There are enough hilarious songs and outrageous hijinks in this flick to keep you glued to the tube from start to finish.
Alice in Wonderland - Bonus Features
If you're a DVD-feature buff, you're going to love the Masterpiece Edition of Alice in Wonderland. There are intros to the movie by Walt Disney himself, original trailers (from way back in 1951), a Virtual Tea Party with the Mad Hatter, and much, much more. The old clips are pretty cool but the Virtual Tea Party seems geared towards a pretty young viewer - so you might not dig it, but your younger sibs will. If you're looking for a little low-tech fun, the DVD comes with a card game. The cards are so pretty that you won't know whether to play with them or use 'em to decorate your room.
