Alice in Wonderland, also referred to as Alice for short, is a 1951 American animated movie produced by Walt Disney and based on the 1865 story Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. It is the thirteenth Disney animated classic. It includes the voices of Kathryn Beaumont (who also voiced Wendy Darling in the 1953 Disney movie Peter Pan) as Alice, and Ed Wynn as the Mad Hatter. Alice in Wonderland was the first Disney animated movie to have ending credits.
A little teenage girl named "Alice" is bored with her history lesson given by her sister called Lorina. She, along with her kitten known as Dinah, sneaks away and dreams a world full of nonsense. However, Alice sees the unusual White Rabbit, who is holding a large golden pocket watch and running off in a hurry. Curious to find out where the rabbit is going, Alice follows him down the rabbit hole where her adventures in Wonderland in the looking-glass world begin. Changing sizes from big to small, meeting bizarre people, like the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, the Dormouse, the Cheshire Cat and the Caterpillar, Alice is tired from her adventures in Wonderland and wishes to go home.
