Your intro to the Silver Age of Disney animation has arrived! Journey down the rabbit hole with us as we tackle Alice in Wonderland, one of Disney's most colorful outings that earned it strong scores for aesthetics and iconic characters. But we'll also talk about the elephant in the room: too many directors, not enough plot.
Don't miss:
- How having five directors over the film's development negatively impacted the story and character development throughout the movie
- The significant lack of a villain in the first ¾ of the movie
- The lone character development arc in the movie that gets absolutely no resolution
- Mary Blair's role in the art direction of this film and the part color plays in both its immediately recognizable style and its development of Wonderland as its own character
PLUS, we talk through all the thoughts our audience had when they watched the movie, including comments from Discord about why young kids don't keep this movie on repeat.
