Number 13 in the [[Disney Animated Canon]], this [[The Golden Age of Animation|1951]] adaptation of ''[[Alice in Wonderland|Alice's Adventures in Wonderland]]'' was a long time coming at Disney, seeing as [[Walt Disney]] had a longtime interest in the Wonderland books that was reflected in some of his earlier works. They wanted to make it a decade earlier, but another production of the story was being produced elsewhere at the time, prompting the studio to shelf it for a while. Then World War II happened and they lost a lot of their budget on war films. Some [[Development Hell]] turned the what-would-be horror flick into more of a wacky, comedic cartoon in the same vein as ''[[The Emperor's New Groove]]'', making it probably the most surreal and ''very'' odd Disney film in memory! |

'''''Alice in Wonderland''''' performed poorly in theaters initially (it made money in re-releases), but over time it grew into one of Disney's funniest films and inspired people to this day, including [[Tim Burton]].

It also inspired at least two rides in the [[Disney Theme Parks]]. One is a conventional ride through the movie, while the other is the famous [[Everything's Better with Spinning|spinning teacups]] ride. |
