Alice in Wonderland (1951)

The most obscure Disney move to date.

Walt Disney, ever since the 1930's, had always wanted to adapt Lewis Carroll's classic books to the screen, but had problems with the story. When he finally got the chance, he was disappointed with the result, and the film, unfortunately, was a box office failure. But the film is entertaining nonetheless. The characters are wonderfully brought to life, just the way Lewis Carroll wrote them. Wonderland is beautifully drawn, with the Disney animators giving it just the right amount of fantasy.
While the movie didn't do so well when it was released, over time it has developed quite a following. Many of Lewis Caroll's fans still criticize this movie as not being true to the actual tale, but there are still many that find this movie to be one of the more creative works that the Disney Animators have had the challenge of working on. Honestly I like this movie, it is a large step away from the usual works, and it makes some rather large jumps in the progression of animation, that people often reference it even to this day when working on new ideas.
