An emotionally chilly exercise... At the same time it is gorgeous indeed, one of the most singular movies in the Disney canon visually. Full Review |

3/5 |
Fifty years on the movie is clearly due a reappraisal. It's colourful, fun and as surreal as Disney is ever likely to get, this isn't as good as the books, but works as a cute introduction to them. Full Review |

An enjoyable if rather pallid rendering of Carroll's classic tale. Full Review |

3.5/4 |
The film is dazzling in its use of color and odd shapes and is enhanced by the distinctive voices of Ed Wynn as the Mad Hatter, Sterling Holloway as the Cheshire Cat, Jerry Colonna as the March Hare, and Verna Felton as the Queen of Hearts. Full Review |

3.5/5 |
