Bristol Film Festival: Alice in Wonderland

Director
Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske, Clyde Geronimi
Certificate
U
Running Time
75 mins

It’s not A-grade Disney and was criticised on release for being more Walt than Lewis Carroll, but this 1951 musical animation still has much to commend it in the character design of the beastly likes of the White Rabbit, the Caterpillar, the March Hare and the Cheshire Cat – as well as an impressive early screen outbreak of psychedelia, which was later to be enjoyed inappropriately by turned-on adult audiences.

This Bristol Film Festival screening takes place in Redcliffe Caves as part of the fest’s ever-popular Underground Cinema strand. Go here for tickets.
