Alice in Wonderland Out February 1st in Blu-Ray/DVD Combo Pack

Coming out February 1st on Blu-Ray/DVD Combo Pack: Alice in Wonderland, 60th anniversary special edition!

We received a screener of this movie and even though the kids have seen it several times already, they were riveted by this remastered version. The picture and sound are crisper than ever and I really love seeing classic cartoon movies on Blu-Ray- It's a whole new viewing experience. We also enjoyed looking at some of the many special features on this DVD. It's really fun to see the deleted scenes and song from this film in particular. All in all, this one is definitely worth adding to your permanent collection.

Here are the disc specifics:

Film Synopsis:

Alice in Wonderland is a story about a young girl who grows bored listening to her older sister read aloud from a history book about William I of England.

While dozing off, she dreams about falling down a rabbit hole (“Wonderland”) that is populated by a peculiar series of misadventures. The always sensible Alice whirls through a world of contradictions, imagination and surprises where she encounters amazing creatures - including a pocket watch-toting White Rabbit, the imperious Queen of Hearts and her army of playing cards, a Cheshire Cat with a lingering smile in an unforgettable fantasy, and the off-kilter Madhatter – and tests her sensibility and courage.

In the end it’s all a dream, she is awakened by her sister’s voice, and as the two of them return home for teatime where she realizes that perhaps logic and reason exist for purpose. And in return, her sister realizes affectionately that Alice is still young, but will grow-up in time.
