Early in his career, between 1923 and 1927, Walt Disney produced the 'Alice' series of cartoons. These delightful cartoons owed their success to both a clever use of special effects - cartoon characters interacting with a live young girl cleverly superimposed within the frame - and breezy humor. The cartoons on this DVD have remarkable clarity because they were transferred directly from 35mm nitrate negatives.

Review
A few years ago, Ray Pointer (a.k.a. Inkwell Images) put together a superb DVD collection of seven Alice Comedies, Disney s 1920s silent-era series combining live action and animation, but alas, several of the titles are lost, and many surviving prints are in poor shape. But I m delighted to have such great looking versions of these films...And any effort to restore these cartoons deserves our support. --Jerry Beck --Jerry Beck--CARTOON BREW February 17, 2007
If you haven t picked this up yet, now is the time. Ray has recently revised the collection, adding Alice Gets Stage Struck, and restored many cut scenes with rare footage only available here. These DVDs are highly recommended! --Jerry Beck--CARTOON BREW May 15, 2007

It has been said that the Disney Studio was built on a mouse, but it all really began with a little girl and these ALICE COMEDIES produced from 1923 to 1927. When Walt Disney was 20 years old, he sold a series of modernized animated fairy tales to the Newman Theater chain in Kansas City. But his distributor fell into receivership and he was forced into bankruptcy. He came to Hollywood seeking work as a live-action film director, and was unsuccessful. Fortunately his pilot film, ALICE'S WONDERLAND, was seen by Margaret J. Winkler, who ordered this series of films, and Disney started the first animation studio in Los Angeles.
The original ALICE concept was a miniature version of "America's Sweetheart", Mary Pickford, and was played by Virginia Davis (1924-1925). The second Alice was Dawn O'Day, a.k.a. Anne Shirley (1925). By the third year, ALICE was updated with a junior "flapper" look, portrayed by Margie Gay (1925-1926), and finally by Lois Hardwick (1927). This program consists of Disney's earliest works that have not been seen in over 40 years.
