Alice In Wonderland (1961)60th Anniversary Edition (Blu-Ray & DVD)Walt Disney Home Entertainment1951/Rated G/Running Time 75 minsList Price $39.99 – Now AvailableThere is not really a lot that can be said about Alice In Wonderland that most of you will not already know. Walt Disney's seventh feature-length animated film is a loose adaptation of Lewis Carroll's two novels “Alice's Adventures in Wonderland” and “Through the Looking Glass”. Quite possibly the most surreal Disney film of its time, it essentially attempts to cram a vast amount of material into its 75-minute running time, with at least partial success. The film takes the form of a number of set-pieces, most of them highly farcical, each completed under the supervision of a different sequence director.

Former child star Virginia Davis, known as Walt Disney's first movie star, has died. She was 90 years old.

The actress passed away of natural causes on Saturday at her home in Corona, California.

Davis was just four years old when she was hired by struggling filmmaker Disney in 1923 to star in Alice's Wonderland, becoming the first actress to take the title role in his pioneering Alice silent movies.

She went on to star in 13 Alice comedies before her contract was dropped and she was replaced by other girls.

Davis also appeared in films like 1932's Three On A Match before finding work as an interior decorator and magazine editor later in life.

Virginia Davis, who is widely regarded as the first actress for Walt Disney Pictures, has died at the age of 90. In 1923, Walt Disney hired the young girl to star in his first action-animated film entitled Alice's Wonderland for his Laugh-o-Gram studio, after spotting the 4-year old in an advertisement for Warneker's Bread, the Orange County Register reports.
