The New York Times wrote a [|review] about this film.
 * Alice in Wonderland:** a 1951 film produced by Walt Disney.There were many different articles and reviews about this film that caused much admiration.

The 1951 cartoon film “ Alice in Wonderland ” was meant to be “based” on the events that occurred in Lewis Carroll's books. As with most book adaptations, some parts were very close to the books and some parts were very different. Disney’s white rabbit was far more cartoony. Disney’s Mad Hatter and March Hare were quite close to the originals. Disney 's Queen of Hearts was a very large and very fat woman with the King of Hearts small enough to be a dwarf. In the book they were the same size and the Queen was not obviously so dominant. Also, the trial in the book was the trial of the Knave of Hearts who stole the tarts. In the film, Alice, herself, is on trial. Naturally animation effects are emphasized in the film. The caterpillar blows out clouds of smoke which spell out the letters or created images of what he is talking about. In the mad tea party, the all sorts of impossible things are done at the table which are not in the original book. The march of the cards is extraordinary.

How does Alice and Wonderland serve as a map for coping with the anzieties of everyday life?

In Chapter 1, her changing size became a source of anxiety for Alice, revealing her desire to remain a child and avoid the pressures of adulthood. In this chapter, she's a growing girl too large to be constricted by forces that seek to hold her back. Throughout the story she begins to mature. I think that the rabbit hole is the adventure that alice needs in order to find herself. I think everyone can relate to that. IN order to learn more about yourself you can go on an adventure even if you do feel uneasy about it.
