The movie was not extremely successful after its release, nor is it considered to be one of the best Disney movies. Still, it remains a favorite in the hearts of many. The image of a blonde Alice in a blue dress has become an iconic image, as has the pink and purple striped Cheshire Cat.

The first version of the story arose on 4 July 1862 during a boat trip with Alice Liddell and her sisters.

It would later evolve into a longer tale called “Alice’s Adventures Under Ground”, which eventually became published in book form as “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”. The first edition was printed on 4 July 1865 – exactly 3 years later.

The event is organized by the Story Museum. This year’s theme is ‘Journeys & Adventures’.

According to their website, the programme includes the chance to dance a Lobster Quadrille, immersive street theatre, a Comic Jam, a city wide trailer for families, live theatre, talks, lectures, face painting and crafting. Until now, this is all that is being communicated about the programme. Hopefully they will add more details soon!
