I just rode it on Sunday for the first time since the railings and platforms were added.

I read a lot of Victorian literature, but always found Carrol's "Alice" books uninteresting, and I think the movie's problem stems from the source material: the concept is more interesting than the execution.<br /><br />Lucky for the world, Walt spotted the exact same problems with Kipling's "Jungle Book" and simply took the concept of the wolf-boy's return to civilization and built up his own story.<br /><br />That being said. Alice is beautiful to look at and the characters are all memorable. The use of color in the mid-late 50s is inspired. Alice and Peter Pan are just gorgeous, with Lady and the Tramp being the high point in color styling, and Sleeping Beauty the high point in design.Katella Gatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05562521359201308834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-12100710390954178522011-02-01T09:59:18.779-08:002011-02-01T09:59:18.779-08:00I have a soft spot for "Alice in Wonderland&q...I have a soft spot for "Alice in Wonderland". First of all, it just looks incredible, with the colors and designs from when the Disney artists were at the very top of their game. And even though the story isn't very emotionally involving, it still has a lot of fun individual scenes.Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.com
