Movie Poster
Thanks Chris1219, for uploading the Movie Poster, because it was hard to find on the Internet. --Zachkudrna18@yahoo.com

Deletion of "relevant" material
I thought the version of the article by Tregoweth was much better then the current version. How many fair use movie posters does the article need? Plus I also think that the long list of foreign langauge titles is not really needed in this article. Garion96 (talk) 11:53, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Move the posters to a gallery then, simular to the Pinocchio (1940 film) article. It is better to have more content.--Nick Dillinger 11:58, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I disagree. It's not better to have a fair use image gallery. Plus too much content can indeed hurt an article. Like a list of foreign language titles for instance. :) IMO of course. Garion96 (talk) 12:03, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Per comments on Talk:Pinocchio (1940 film), extra posters should not be used unless they are explicitly being discussed at a significant length in the article. ed g2s • talk 01:48, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

DVD cover
Who deleted that 2004 DVD cover, which was very, very important in this article, which was very naughty for someone to delete it? --PJ Pete
 * No idea, you could look it up if you want to. According to the discussion above it failed our fair use criteria. Why was it important to the article? Garion96 (talk) 03:24, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

The history section.
It needs a serious rewrite. It's packed with POV and unsourced information. Inkbottle 02:16, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Not in the book?
If I remember correctly, the talking flowers and the strange insects were in the book. Am I mistaken? -Alice (Yes, that's my name. Stop laughing.)
 * You're not mistaken (although I think they were in Through the Looking Glass, as opposed to Alice in Wonderland). Since the film references both books, I think this should be removed also.Paul E Nolan 11:57, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Has there been any consideration of flagging the film's elements that were drawn from the second book? Perhaps with something like "Alice encounters the brothers Tweedledee and Tweedledum (TtLG)"? 72.66.32.143 (talk) 13:37, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Awkward Wording
Don't you think the final item of Trivia is worded awkwardly? I'll C/P it here to see if we should reword it.

OK here it is: "When the film was closed-captioned for certain VHS tapes, they often used sentences what the characters are saying mean in other sentences, such as Alice saying that she doesn't want to go among mad people means that she doesn't want to be around or with them." This, IMHO, is a sentecne you have to read over sevreal times in order to actually know what the person who wrote this was trying to say...do you think we/I should rewrite it? --DancexwithxmexXx 17:52, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I think we should delete it, since I have no idea what it means. Powers T 15:45, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, If someone hasn't already done it, I'll go look. -- I'm Kinda Awesome... 13:21, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's gone now. -- I'm Kinda Awesome... 13:23, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Cheshire Cat picture
That Cheshire Cat picture is unnecessary. First off, it's fanart. Second, it doesn't add anything to the article. I strongly suggest it be removed. If people feel strongly about having a picture of the Cheshire Cat, let's get a better, official one. --DarshaAssant 01:14, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Pink Floyd - The Wall sync
I was just wondering if anybody knows about the Pink Floyd - The Wall with the Alice in Wonderland Sync. I know it sounds crazy but someone in highschool showed me the Sync and I was impressed. Scary dragon atop the hill (talk) 07:34, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Live action?
This re-release was successful enough to warrant a subsequent re-release a few years later, where it played on a double feature with the live-action Disney film.

What live-action film is this referring to? In the history it mentions Disney made plans for several live-action features but none were ever made. There was a combined live-action/animated short made in 1923 (?), could that possibly be it? Or a different film altogether? Gr8white (talk) 01:52, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Alice and the Talking Flowers Screenshot
Why did someone delete the screenshot of Alice and the Talking/Singing Flowers? It was a great screenshot, and I believed it would remain on Wikipedia eternally. --PJ Pete June 28, 2008

Disney's Alice in Wonderland
Nowhere in the article or discussion is it mentioned tht the film was produced and initially released in 3D. I saw it that way at the theater in downtown LA. Shortly afterward, the 3D was dropped as with so any films of the period. I went to high school with Katherine Beaumont at Burbank High.

 * Really?! 3d? Never heard of that myself. Are you sure you are not confusing this with another film?-- Laukku  TheGreit (Talk•Contribs) 18:39, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Games
Was their also a level based on Wonderland in the Sega Mega Drive game "World of Fantasia"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.235.37.107 (talk) 22:52, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Something...
Okay, call me wack, but I was watching the movie, and noticed something that the caterpillar smoked out but I didn't read it, and didn't think about it. A few days later I overheard someone talking about "it says something in the smoke." In Alice in Wonderland. Am I tripping? Or, do I just not belong on Wikipedia. Or am I on to something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.16.80.109 (talk) 00:40, 7 April 2010 (UTC) Alice In Wonderland is the most popular book in the nation, even the world. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.125.89.12 (talk) 22:23, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

60th Anniversary Blu-Ray
In the "Release and reception" section, please change "Disney released a new 2-disc Special "Un-Anniversary" Edition DVD on March 30, 2010 in order to promote the new Tim Burton Film." to "Disney released a new 2-disc Special "Un-Anniversary" Edition DVD on March 30, 2010 in order to promote the new Tim Burton Film. The film will make its Blu-Ray Disc debut in 2011 to celebrate its 60th Anniversary." Here's an article: 68.76.157.253 (talk) 15:57, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes check.svg Done as confirmed by 2 sites.

English Cycle
The lead paragraph mentions an "English Cycle" of Disney movies, but never elaborates on that later in the article. All statements in the lead section should be followed up on later. It's randomly mentioned and never explains what it is or why it's relevant/notable. I have removed it, but feel free to re-add it if you feel like explaining the what and why. 71.206.163.107 (talk) 15:37, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV
I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:
 * This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:
 * There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
 * It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
 * In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 04:06, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

British?
What exactly makes this a British-American movie? Trivialist (talk) 23:25, 15 June 2015 (UTC)


 * Nothing. The author was British, but the film is an American film.  Not only should that be removed from the lead, it should also be removed from the infobox, as well as the "British film" categories, since it is not British. Onel5969 (talk) 14:00, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

UK re-release
Although I'm relying on my memory (and those of others) and thus won't be able to bring online references to bear, I am extremely confident that the dates given and the commentary about the UK release and re-release is incorrect. I saw the film in theatres as a child the year Selfridges department store built their entire Christmas theme & windows around the movie. As I was born in 1964 this must have been sometime in the late 1960's or early 1970's, most certainly before 1974. Perhaps this erroneous section can be further researched and corrected? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1010:B05D:B181:61A4:E55B:EAE3:F5AF (talk) 22:14, 10 December 2016 (UTC)
