Disney Restores Classic 'Alice in Wonderland' for 75th Anniversary Celebration
The Disney classic 'Alice in Wonderland' is celebrating its 75th anniversary with a restored version and various exhibitions. The film's story began when Walt Disney was inspired by author Lewis Carroll's world, which features dreamlike logic and eccentric characters.
Disney produced the Alice Comedies series from 1924 to 1927, merging live-action and animation in a unique way. Over the years, the studio experimented with adapting Carroll's stories for the screen before releasing 'Alice in Wonderland' in 1951.
The film required over half a million drawings and used live-action reference footage to bring its vibrant landscapes and characters to life. The restoration process involved scanning 324,000 frames and took nine months to complete, with a crew of 100 artists working on it.
