Seldom seen Alice in Wonderlands gets a DVD date
No, the classic 1951 Disney animated film of Alice in Wonderland isn’t the only animated version of the famous book, let alone the only adaptation out there. Infinity Entertainment Group is releasing Alice in Wonderland: Classic Film Collection on March 30th. Included in the set will be (taken from official press release):
Alice in Wonderland (1915) — The first version near to the novel, this silent movie starred Viola Savoy. Though many believe the film to be lost in its entirety, this presentation includes all 52 minutes. Produced long before CGI, the creatures are costumed actors and the absence of dialogue creates a surreal, dreamlike quality. Also stars Elmo Lincoln, who went on to fame as the original Tarzan.
Alice´s Adventures in Cartoonland (1925) — Two shorts from an animated film series directed and produced by Walt Disney himself, starring curly-haired, four-year-old Virginia Davis, called Disney´s “first cinematic star” by the New York Times, and Margie Gay. (Includes drawings some historians think may have influenced the evolution of Mickey and other iconic cartoon characters). Initially performing before a white cloth with Disney instructing, “Let´s pretend,” the animated characters were added later.
Alice of Wonderland in Paris (1966) — This enchanting feature film with French animation includes the voice of Carl Reiner.
Alice´s Adventures in Wonderland (1972) — This British musical theatrical film adaptation features a star-studded cast, including Michael Crawford, Peter Sellers, Dudley Moore and Fiona Fullerton.
Alice in Wonderland: Classic Film Collection is presented in full screen with an aspect ratio of 4×3 and original sound.
