They say it’s a Disney classic, they say Disney can do no wrong, they say it follows the Alice in Wonderland books. But let me tell you, this has got to be the worst Disney film ever created. I dare anyone to find one worse than this disaster.
The story revolves around Alice, who couldn’t care less about learning and reading. Instead, she creates her own imaginary world. And who leads her into this world of adventure? None other than the white rabbit. Down the rabbit hole she goes, encountering all sorts of bizarre creatures and events. You’d think at some point the story would take a turn for the better, but nope, it just keeps getting worse.
Back when this film was made, Disney was at the top of their game in animations. So it’s quite a shock that they got that aspect of the film wrong as well.
Overall, this film is a struggle to sit through, with a lackluster story that never quite hits the mark. The only silver lining is that it’s just over an hour long, so if you’re forced to watch it, at least it won’t eat up too much of your precious time. Or you could just take my word for it and steer clear of this train wreck.
