The thing with Alice in Wonderland is that you never know if the characters she encounters are threatening or helping ? You can't apply logic to their actions, they don't obey the same rules as Alice !!

Fun Fact: There is actually a rare medical condition called Alice in Wonderland syndrome or dysmetropsia, it causes distortions in visual perceptions of objects such as appearing smaller, bigger, closer or farther away than they actually are.

"How is a raven like a writing desk?" "Poe wrote on both."

"They jumped me....Broke my watch....put mustard in it...." But if you recall, they put everything BUT mustard in it. ^_^

Having grown up on Disney, it's interesting to see adults who have never seen certain ones. I've seen maybe 3 girls who have never seen Disney's Cinderella for instance, and it's fascinating to see their takes on it.

Pans Labyrinth and Spirited Away are must watches! I consider them to be spiritual successors to this movie!

An underrated gem. The great Kathryn Beaumont who played Alice (and Wendy in 'Peter Pan') is still around.

"Her attitude is..inevitable kidnapping" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I always thought the lesson was: "Be careful what you wish for" The world she created wasn't as amazing as she thought it would be... Basically you need logic and structure, not just creativity. Hense the line about some some of the best books don't have any pictures..

Fun fact the Harsh Hair’s voice is found in several old Disney films, including Casey Jones, while The Hatter is none other than legendary comedian Ed Wyn, the Cheshire Cat is Winnie the Pooh himself, and Alice was supposedly largely modeled after one of Walts own daughters and at the time of her creation was considered a princess prior to modern Disney making rules for who could and couldn’t be a princess.

What a pleasant surprise~ More Disney classics would be cool

A raven is like a writing desk because Edgar Allen Poe wrote on both. At least, that's my favorite answer!

I do not understand how people could miss out on so many classic Disney movies when they were younger

That movie selection random af 😂

You all need to just, make a spreadsheet of everyone's name & the list of classic/beloved Disney movies (so that way something like Mary Poppins can be on the list! and not just purely animation movies) And from there you choose the movies that the least amount of people have seen! :D

It always blows my mind seeing people who've never seen classic Disney films.

I've read the book too. Lewis Carrol suggests an answer for why a raven is like a writing desk: Both produce long notes!

when i was a kid i used to hate this movie but also had a really weird fascination with it, so i could repeatedly watch it being uncomfortable the whole time

white rabbits actually often have pink eyes naturally.

So glad to see you enjoy this classic with fresh eyes! As with all versions of "Wonderland" it combines characters from that book and "Alice Through the Looking Glass".

This was fun, would love to see more Disney movie reactions!

This is a really cool surprise reaction. I would really, really love for you guys to react to Disney classics (or other classics). It's something really different that I haven't seen from other reaction channels.

“Why is a raven like a writing desk?: Because they both have inky quills and can produce a few notes, tho they are very flat; and it is nevar put with the wrong end in front” -Lewis Carroll. Though of course, in-universe there’s not intended to be an answer. Since when Alice asks why the mad hatter says “I haven’t the slightest idea”, showing that it’s just more delightful nonsense. Also, Alice in Wonderland wasn’t made for kids in the 50s. It was made for kids in 1865 and then Disney made an animated adaptation in the 50s. Most of the trippy imagery was borrowed from the book.

LMAO rana got so defensive for cinderella love that for her

Thanks Chris and Marketa for putting respect on CartoonNetwork

This movie got more occult knowledge than the matrix .

This is such a nice surprise!!! As a kid I was shown all the Disney animations, and we had most of them on VHS. Alice in Wonderland, however, always scared the bejeesus out of me. I was petrified of Tweedle-Dum and Tweedle-Dee, and the Queen of Hearts. Now I can enjoy the weirdness :)

The story Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum tell is a sad one. The reason the R became red and started flashing was it was believed that every month with an R in it was the perfect time to gather and eat oysters. The reason the white rabbit was yelling “Mary Ann!” Was an all around yell for whatever servant was nearby at the time back then. Instead of screaming for a specific maid or servant that could be too far away to hear anyway the master or mistres of the house would yell “Mary Ann!” as , like said an all around call for the nearest servant. Which is why Alice had the reaction she did. The Mad Hatter was because at a certain time the people who created hats, a hatter, would try on the hats they created and it had a chemical that would slowly make them go insane. The Tea Party is based off both the first and second book. The one where she sat down for tea was the Mad Hatter and March Hare are stuck at tea time for as long as Time himself was still mad at The Hatter for a fight they’d had earlier. The one in the second book was the one with Unbirthday in it. In the book Alice was watching the trial not the one in trouble. And all of the people the Queen ordered their heads off was quietly pardoned by the King behind her back. No one died. I’ve got more little fun facts if you’d like. I’ve read the first book but not the second. Yet.

I wonder if watching this repeatedly while you're younger (and reading both books) makes you more capable of watching crazy wild things without it hurting your brain......

Dude disappeared like the Cheshire cat lol

Few facts about this story. The author used to be a professor at a high profile university in England. He met a lady through his job and she had two younger sisters. I don’t know if they ever married, but one day he was hanging out with all three of them when the youngest girl asked him to tell her a story. So off the top of his head, he started telling the story of Alice in Wonderland. When word picked up about his imaginary story, other professors were encouraging him to write on it more. So he did. He based Alice off of his gf’s youngest sister & his own gf was the inspiration for Alice’s sister. Being a high profile professor, Lewis Carrol, the author, had been invited to many political events & knew a lot of higher society people. It’s been speculated for years about the political undertones of this story. The Walrus and the Carpenter represents how the working class does all the work while the rich lie to them and steal all the rewards. The tweedle Twins represents Alice’s conscious and the Caterpillar represents her trying to understand the logic behind this whole world. The Flower Garden represents the sort of gossiping situations a young girl would face against older women of society, the DoDo bird represents how stupid politicians can be. The scene where the DoDo is on the beach up on a rock and the other animals are running around drying off then get wet again represents how politicians lie to people and how people go along with it, even though it doesn’t make any sense. The March Hare & Mad Hatter don’t exactly have a symbolism, but many who studied the book think they both represent how men treat young girls. The white rabbit represents Alice’s subconscious. Now the Queen of Hearts almost got Lewis Carol arrested. Especially with the timing of the character. The character of the Queen of Hearts came around AFTER Lewis Carol met the Queen of England, and many believe he based that character off of her. But the Queen of Hearts entire sequence represents how unfair and heartless rulers are. They show unfair court systems and how rulers can change the courts to how they desire. Kinda like how rich people get away with so much crime. I do like how the entire end chase scene breaks it down as the dream becoming a nightmare too. There’s also a theory that the Cheshire Cat set Alice up to be murdered.

How do these people not know that it was all based on a 19th century book?

The Oyster kids being eaten is the darkest thing in a kids movie ever.

Bugs Bunny and many classic cartoon shorts from the 30s - 50s were not 100% meant to be children cartoons. They were shown for adult audiences prior to the main feature in cinemas.

For the Alex Hirsch thing, there’s an ongoing Disney Show called “The Owl House” and Hirsch is a VA on it so who knows if Disney would work with him as a writer again but it’s not out of the question.

Not even a minute in a Nahid cappin already.

I always thought the crescent moon was the Cheshire Cat when I was little. And I always thought he was following me while in the car and I’d see the moon from the car window.😂

You guys should watch Pan's Labyrinth. I think you'd like a lot

10:46 Maryanne was a common term for a house Maiden/Maid in the 1800s.

"So, this was Disney´s first foray into psychadelics stuff?" I guess they haven't seen Dumbo then. Pink Elephants, just saying...

Before this was Dumbo, with the Pink Elephants on Parade number.

7:28 They’re not conflicting, they’re called tasting notes.

Wow her dad looks like a walrus, and so does Chris that explains a lot

Seriously ?!?! This classic and you guys haven't seen it yet ?! God! What kind of childhood did you have.

Like how have none of u seen this before?!?!? Blows my mind

No one knows why a raven is like a writing desk. Not even Lewis Carroll himself. lol

Walt era films you guys should check out: 1. Snow White 2. Pinocchio 3. Jungle Book 4. Peter Pan 5. Fantasia 6. Cinderella 7. 101 Dalmatians 8. Treasure Island 9. Sleeping Beauty 10. Mary Poppins

Fox and the Hound please yall will be in TEARS

I love that you're watching alice in wonderland. It was the first book I ever read and as a weird kid I felt so related to the main character and the way she reacted to the world around her. Best animated feature film to me.

Walt Disney didn’t intentionally make children’s movies. He wanted to make movies/art that he would want to see.

Oooh yes older Disney reactions! I too love how the older movies were animated :)

07:47 "No, take the money." - Bill Oddie 10:24 "The time has crumbs!" 21:04 "You're clumsing it!" 26:25 "All, put his head!"

Guys should watch Peter Pan too! I'm glad to see you watching one of my favorite movies of all time! 😭💗

In regards the the raven riddle, my copy of the book begins with a preface by Carroll as follows: To The EIGHTY-SIXTH THOUSAND Enquiries have been so often addressed to me, as to whether any answer to the Hatter’s Riddle can be imagined, that I may as well put on record here what seems to me to be a fairly appropriate answer, viz. “Because it can produce a few notes, though they are very flat; and it is nevar put with the wrong end in front!” This, however, is merely an after-thought: the Riddle, as originally invented, had no answer at all.

Oldest movie i have ever seen is Lawrence of arabia 1962, almost 4 hours long.

OMG just saw the thumbnail and had a throwback, this is a classic and probably gave many children anxiety issues hahaha

Surprised Disney didn't came after y'all.

A Very Merry Unbirthday to Y’all 🤩🥳

you guys should react to Alice in borderland

Lol Flubber was a remake. It was a remake of The Absent-Minded Professor. The last unique one they put out was Moana I believe.

This film hits differently as an adult. You guys should definitely do a Fantasia reaction.

You guys now need to listen carefully to White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane.

Have you seen Pinocchio (1940)? That could be *very* first reaction-worthy haha.

You guys should dig into the old movies a little more. There are so many amazing movies you are missing out on. The Thin Man series, Libeled Lady, Bringing Up Baby, Laura, North by Northwest, The Awful Truth, Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, Arsenic & Old Lace, The Women, The 39 Steps, The Philadelphia Story, My Favorite Wife, The Mad Miss Manton, Ghostbreakers. Anything with Kathryn Hepburn, Jimmy Stewart, Myrna Loy, William Powel, Cary Grant, or Barbara Stanwyk is incredible.

They should react to the Tim Burton movie which not only incorporates the original Disney film but builds upon both Alice and Wonderland(Underland).

After watching this y'all should listen to the song "Feed Your Head" by White Rabbit

And now I recommend watching the sequel: Alice in Borderland

The new one is my favorite

Wow, never seen it?? I've seen it like a hundred times heh

4:46

Recommending for you guys to watch spirited away, howls moving castle, totoro, ponyo, and other studio ghibli films. They're honestly one of the famous Japanese films from the past generation before we know your name and weathering with you.

It’s not their first. Dumbo and Fantasia played with a lot of experimental stuff as well as some of their Mickey and Friends shorts and Silly Symphonies.

6:32 your dresses don't do that? lol 29:38 alice will return in the mcu. LMFAO!!!

6:04 White rabbits are albino which means they have red or blue eyes. I bet there are times that they were high and you didn’t even notice.

All these movie were frightening back when i was a child. Anyone felt the same?

I’ve had nightmares about that oyster scene 😰

You guys should watch The Owl House! It’s a Disney show and I’d say, it’s just as good as Gravity Falls! Highly recommend!!

Props for Kingdom Hearts👊🏽

Why is a raven like a writing desk? Because it can produce a few notes, though they are very flat.

Did you see the original Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs? It was the first animated movie and it won 2 Acadamy Awards

This is my comfort movie

My childhood! I remember watching this dozens of times, and calling the waning moon Smiling Cat. Only those who watched the movie will understand.

Old Disney animations give me a "weird vibe" every time I see and I love it

Was hoping for the live action

You should watch the live action movie too. I actually really enjoyed it because unlike ALL the other Disney live action 'remakes', the live action version of Alice In Wonderland is a sequel to the animation and not a direct remake.

Chris drops a "Golden Girls" refrence at 13:00. A man of class.

The thing that bothered me with that movie as a kid is that it all turned up to be a dream.

I remember when I saw this movie when I was 6. I had such a crush on Alice. lol

Fun fact: Pure white rabbits have pink eyes, since they are albino. ;)

Is it just me or is rana super gorgeous lol

When you watch this, it feels like taking drugs without doing drugs.

what do flowers have against weeds? i just want to know, internet.

Now when I watch it as an adult, I realize the caterpillar and the Cheshire Cat are the only smart persons of Wonderland because they're the only ones who helped Alice. I mean, the caterpillar helps her to find a way to be taller and the Cheshire Cat guide her to the Mad Hatter and the March Hare where she finds the rabbit and when he sends her to the queen of hearts, it helps her to awake herself

NAHID!

I got excited thinking they were gonna watch Alice in Borderlands, turns out it was just Alice in Wonderland xD

Similar to Fantasia it was not a hit when it first came out, but both became successful with college campuses in the late 1960’s.

I think the moral of the story is "Don't do drugs!"

you should've done the live action one. Johnny Depp played the hatter in it!

I think you guys might like Star vs the forces of evil. The first season is very bright and colorful but as the story progresses, the storyline and the characters mature as well.

Why is a raven like a writing desk? because there's a "b" in "both" and an "n" in "neither"
