Disneyland Intro to Alice In Wonderland

[dsneybuf]

At the grocery store the other day, I found Little Golden Books of "Alice in Wonderland" with that exact cover.

[futureanimatior]

See man Walt was not afraid to take chances he took a big chance by making his own animation company and it became the biggest animation company of all time. I heard he started off with his brother making short movies alone and soon famous artist came to Walt for work and he hired them to help them make movies.

[Hypnotoad27]

wait... he said aladdin and beauty and the beast but they came out in the 90s. i don't get it.

[futureanimatior]

@Hypnotoad27 Because he planned for them to be movies back then.

[JoshuaTaylor]

*Amazing* Walt references "Aladdin" and "Beauty and the Beast" decades before they became films.....

[17leah17]

@JoshuaTaylor i think he's talking about how they were stories not films like in books

[gossamer93]

thats really freaky how he mentioned aladdin and beauty and the beast

[JesseLee85719]

@gossamer93 It might have been a late 80's edit or something.

[futureanimatior]

@gossamer93 They were novels way before animation films. Besides in a lot of peoples eye the novels were way better then the cartoons.

[TheToadRacer]

people Walt Disney DIDN'T like Alice In Wonderland because his son made the movie not Walt Disney then after the movie Walt Disney was mad and hated the movie so Walt's son said he quit and left forever and he never saw his son again after that goodbye

[JesseLee85719]

@TheToadRacer Uh-oh. Trash talk. I think Walt Disney enjoyed that film very much.

[JesseLee85719]

@TheToadRacer I do know he supervised that film.

[moleman226]

I agree with Teflon65 about the animation, however, I think Walt would be proud that we are celebrating his classics and yet modernising Disney with such instant classics as Phineas and Ferb. Wherever he is, he should be proud

[kalukskate2]

walt disney was great. but if he were to come back to life and he could see what has happened to his work he would be dissapointed. you go from great classics like the jungle book to high school musical and hannah montana. i would be very dissapointed if that was me.

[0purplepolkadots0]

@kalukskate2 But the park (Disneyland) has achieved so much. Times have changed. I think he would not care so much about movies and TV shows that can be canceled. The park stands for the work, it's a visual of the work. THE WORLD OF COLOR would make anyone proud. Think Positive. Walt Disney would.

[BrittCo33]

I wish I could have met him.

[nicolecleopatra]

what did walt say at 0:25? "pedlams"?

[HHGFHJGFHJGFJTYFJDGY]

He said pantomines, they are fairytale shows on stage shown at Christmas in England.

[Teflon65]

The animation was certainly better, when Walt was more personally involved. When he wasn't turning people in, for being "communists", he was really the genius he was said to be.

[screammac]

what a shame he is no longer her hes brot so much joy with his films and his theme parks wich is arew all brilen and is like steping into a difrent world when your at disneyworld i think he would be proud if he was her to day to see how its grown and changed but still the same in many ways i just wish the had one in england that would be relly magic but thers paris so its not that bad as its just a quik flight from briten

[LarryRusso67]

people had such class and quality about themselves.... whats wrong with the world these days???

there is so much value shown here and in all these little clips on you tube about Walt and that time period.

[iambluebird]

Interesting that Mr. Disney references the stories of 'Aladdin' and 'Beauty and the Beast' almost forty years before his company would eventually retell them.

Also, I'd like to mention that Walt had purchased the rights to 'Alice' long before the movie was made. By the time production had begun, Walt was not nearly as active in his animation production as he had once been. He didn't hate the movie, but he was unhappy with the finished product as well as the box office receipts that came back.

[Rcp123190]

I did hear that Walt didnt want the ride in his park becasue he felt no one connected with the characters in the movie like they did with his other films

[143AC]

Sadly,

"Alice In Wonderland"was not one of Mr.Disney's

favorite films. He said iit was too confusing and it lacked the

charm of his other animated features..personally? I liked it..so..I don't give a damn what Mr.Disney

says..it's a great movie.

[DarthKazer]

Great movie

[gothiccitizen]

OH my god I want that book!

[miss09lauren]

so sad that walt passed away

[RayPointer]

Of course ALICE IN WONDERLAND was a favorite story of Walt's. In fact, it was the basis of his first Hollywood success, the ALICE COMEDIES, wich are loosely referred to as ALICE IN CARTOONLAND. The title tells all, don't you think?

[dolphinluv2413]

Can somebody out there tell me if Walt Disney loved this movie. If he really didn't like it. I'll go crazy.

[MrSteveUtah]

How did Disneyland end up getting so caugt up in the gay movement?

[RayPointer]

Okay, I give up! Tell us. Perhpas you have "intimate" information?

[CheshireShade]

Personally, one of my favorite disney movies :)

Walt Disney is a Hero to me, despite this political views :p He understood the importance of escape and fantasy.

[dolphinluv2413]

It seems that Walt loved "Alice in Wonderland"

[pineapplewhipaddict]

Love that he named off Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast...little did he know...hehe.

[dolphinluv2413]

I thought Walt Disney loved it. I think I'm gonna be sick. Do you know of Lenard Maltin?

[dolphinluv2413]

freedogshampoo, Did Walt love Alice in Wonderland or not I'm worried.

[freedogshampoo]

From what I understand, he didn't like the final product very much. But anyways, I didn't know him, so I can't be sure! You love it. I love it. So...it doesn't matter

When it was first released it was a complete box-office failure... So, that's probably why he didn't like it.

[disneyfan85]

He claimed that the film had no "heart" to it. Compared to the more sympathetic Cinderella, his last heroine before Alice, Alice was more difficult to root for.

[futureanimatior]

@freedogshampoo He might not liked the final one but there's no doubt that he loved his own work.

[dolphinluv2413]

It ticks me off that people hate Alice in Wonderland. Did Walt injoy the movie?

[freedogshampoo]

I HEARD that he didn't like it very much.

[dolphinluv2413]

freedogshampoo, I thought he loved Alice in Wonderland did he love it? I'm worried!!!

[JesseLee85719]

@freedogshampoo I also heard that it got an over-budget.

[JesseLee85719]

@dolphinluv2413 I think so, but I'm not sure.

[neoprankster]

It's funny that Walt mentioned Aladdin and Beauty and the Beast, because the studio bearing his name would make those stories into features long after he died.

[fromthesidelines]

This introduction was first seen in December 1954, and refilmed for "WONDERFUL WORLD OF COLOR" in 1964 [minus the "Disney" storybook he's holding, and all references to Christmas]. The series was shown on ABC as "DISNEYLAND" until the fall of 1958, when it became "WALT DISNEY PRESENTS", until it left the network in 1961.

[freedogshampoo]

"Walt Disney Presents" was the title given in 1958. This aired when the show was just called "Disneyland"

[Merenwen2931]

OH i love walt disney R.I.P

He is great!!!!!!!

[Carry231]

Did Walt like England (where I live).

[ProduccionesJAPS]
