Aliceinwonderland 1986

Along with Dumbo, the early prints of Alice in Wonderland were discontinued in 1984. This film became part of the Walt Disney Classics line on May 28, 1986; the centerpiece of Disney’s "Wonderland Sale." The price was dropped to $29.95 on October 14, 1986, but changed back to $84.95 in early 1987. Alice in Wonderland got re-released on video in 1988 and 1991, respectively, when the title was priced at $24.99. In 1994, these copies were later replaced by their Masterpiece Collection counterparts. On July 13, 1999, this video re-issue was one of the last official releases within the Masterpiece Collection lineup, alongside Robin Hood. It was discontinued on January 31, 2000, and replaced by its successor – the Gold Classic Collection.

Synopsis[]

1986-1991 VHS[]

A dazzling blend of fantasy, animation and music create a kaleidoscope of adventures in this color-splashed Disney classic, based on Lewis Carroll’s immortal story. On a golden afternoon, young Alice follows a White Rabbit, who disappears down the nearby rabbit hole. Quickly following him, she tumbles into the burrow — and from there, she enters the merry, topsy-turvy world of Wonderland! Memorable songs and whimsical escapades highlight Alice’s journey, which culminates in a madcap encounter with the Queen of Hearts — and her army of playing cards!

1994-1999 VHS[]

In the hands of Disney’s extraordinary animators, Lewis Carroll’s immortal literary classic comes to life like never before! The surprises begin when a daydreaming Alice encounters a White Rabbit who is frantically running late. She chases him and falls into the magical, madcap world of Wonderland with its kaleidoscope of off-the-wall characters — including Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Cheshire Cat and the manic Mad Hatter, who inadvertently invite her to a memorable tea party! The crowning confrontation begins when Alice meets the notorious Queen of Hearts and her enchanted deck of playing cards. Tricked into a curious game of croquet, Alice and her patience end up on trial. Is there no escape from this whimsical escapade? Filled with fantasy and topsy-turvy fun, Alice in Wonderland is teeming with spectacular songs and astounding animation in the highest Disney tradition!
