Trivia: Walt Disney had considered doing a feature film of this story for years. During the very early part of his career, throughout the 1920s, he created a number of shorts with a live action Alice placed in an animated world. He continued to make this series, generally referred to as “The Alice Comedies”, which were all silent, right up to time he made Steamboat Willie (1928).

Goofs: Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Alice eats the cookie in the White Rabbit’s house and grows, she says, “Oh, no, no, not again!” Alice’s mouth does not move to these words.
