The 1933 film version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was an all-star Paramount Pictures classic. It is mostly live-action, except for The Walrus and The Carpenter, which was animated by Max Fleischer's studio.
Stars featured in the film included Charlotte Henry as Alice, W. C. Fields as Humpty Dumpty, Edna May Oliver as the Red Queen, Cary Grant as the Mock Turtle, Gary Cooper as the White Knight, Edward Everett Horton as The Mad Hatter, and Baby LeRoy as The Joker.
This version was directed by Norman Z. McLeod from a screenplay by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, based on Lewis Carroll's books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.
This film has never been released on VHS or DVD, which is a crime, although it is occasionally broadcast on cable television channels such as Turner Classic Movies. The original running time was 90 min., but when Universal Studios bought the television rights in the late-1950s, it was cut to 77 minutes.
