“Alice’s Wonderland” is a 1923 American silent short film directed by Walt Disney. It was the first entry in the “Alice Comedies” series, blending live-action and animation. The story follows Alice (played by Virginia Davis) as she visits an animation studio, where animators bring drawings to life. That night, she dreams of traveling to Cartoonland, where she is welcomed with a parade and encounters animated characters. The film was never released theatrically but was used to pitch the “Alice Comedies” series to distributors, marking the beginning of Walt Disney’s career in animation.
