1950. A co-French/British production, also known as 'Alice au pays des merveilles'.
The movie was suppressed by Disney to protect their own production.
It's an adaptation of Lewis Carroll's book with a live Alice moving through painted sets and pixilated puppets. The movie is more true to the book than the Disney movie.
Seller's description:
This exceptional theatrical version of Lewis Carroll's 1865 classic features a combination of live characters and puppets, created by master puppeteer Louis Bunin. The cast includes Carol Marsh as Alice along with Stephen Murray, Felix Aylmer, Ernest Milton, and Pamela Brown (in live sequences and as voices of the puppets). Directed by Dallas Bower, this lively and fun production includes some wonderful musical numbers that will be enjoyed by all ages.

Interesting and worth a look
Half live-action, half stop-motion animation production from England that was pretty much burried by the release of Disney's version a year later. Not the best, and the actress who plays Alice is very annoying, but some of it is rather fun and the animation is charming. It's been released on video a couple of times, both with various scenes missing -- apparently some of them have been lost forever.

- SAVE YOUR MONEY FOR ANOTHER MOVIEThis was so awful that I did not bother to finish watching it. The film quality was awful. The songs were worst than corny. I am so bummed to have purchased this movie. I was looking for a version I saw when I was a child and this certainly was not it.

- Best Alice In Wonderland Movie I have ever seenI bought this movie in the early 1990's for my son, who was around 3 at the time. We both loved it and I still watch it. The songs in the movie were great and the British cast were truly amazing! I also loved the bit of Medieval history that you hear in the songs in this movie. In my mind, this movie best tells Lewis Carroll's story about Alice. The characters were lovable and are depicted in this movie just as they are in the book. I highly recomend this movie to anyone.

- Somewhere in a chateau FranceI believe the film crew that worked on this Lou Bunin version of Alice in Wonderland lived in a chateau on Avenue Pozzo di Borgo in St. Cloud, a few miles from Paris. Does anyone have any information about that particular French chateau and the people who stayed there during the production?

- excellent re-creationI enjoyed this movie as a child, and am very happy to finally own it, and now I can share it with my children also. I had a copy on VHS that someone copied off another VHS for me, but the quality was very poor. Although this is a very old movie, and I understand that most of the film copies were destroyed somehow, this version is the best that I've seen yet. The stop-motion animation done by Lou Bunin is a delight, and the musical score is set to lyrics straight from Lewis Carroll's book. Love it! Love it! Love it!

- ZZZZZZZOrdered this because of some distant childhood memory of seeing it on TV. The song, "I'm Upside-down" had been in my mind ever since and for years I had tried to track it down, not really knowing which version I had seen. When I finally found this, it did not live up to my memories. The tranfer was what I had expected: watchable, but old, soft-focus VHS quality. The film itself, though, was hard to get into becuse a good deal of time is spent at the beginning with Lewis Carroll (Dodson) and his University cronies. It seemed endless and by the time Alice finally fell down the rabbit hole, I had fallen asleep.
