"But that's just the trouble with me. I give myself very good advice... but I very seldom follow it." - Alice
"Alice's
Adventures in Wonderland" (commonly shortened to "Alice in
Wonderland"), is a 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge
Dodgson who wrote under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. Disney reworked
the story to fit with both a younger audience and a time frame suitable
for an animated film (it's run time is only 75 minutes).
Kathryn
Beaumont, who was born in London England, was just 10 years old when
she was chosen for the voice of Alice. Walt Disney personally cast
Beaumont after seeing her in the film "On an Island with You," in which
the child actress had a small role. Disney was so impressed by her that
she was also chosen to be the model for Alice, and would also go on to
provide the voice for Wendy in "Peter Pan," 1953. Beaumont has also
reprised her voice acting role as Alice in two episodes of the animated
series, Disney's "House of Mouse," and as both Alice and Wendy in the
video game "Kingdom Hearts." She did not retire as the voice of Alice
and Wendy until 2005, when her role for these two characters was taken
over by Hynden Walch.
Initial
design for the character of Alice was accomplished by Mary Blair during
the storyboard phase and also by Les Clark. Alice was animated by Ollie
Johnston, Don Lusk, and Marc Davis who animated her for the tea party
scene.
Close up of the original production animation drawing of Alice.
This
is a large and beautifully rendered drawing of Alice from the "Very Good Advise" song sequence. Walt Disney animator Milt Kahl supervised the animation of Alice for this singing scene, which occurs at the end of the Tugley Wood sequence. The song was composed by Oliver Wallace, with lyrics by Paul J. Smith, and is sung by Alice after she becomes hopelessly lost in Wonderland and fears that she will never find her way home. In this drawing Alice's mouth is open, she is seated with her hands clasped in her lap, and small tears (rendered in brown pencil) are seen forming in the corners of her eyes. This
is an absolutely beautiful piece of vintage
Walt Disney animation art and a great addition to any animation
collection!
