21
of the 47 cartoons in this set are Alice Comedies in chronological
order.
Disney,
Ub Iwerks, and their staff made the first Alice Comedy, a
one-reel (ten-minute) short subjects titled Alice's Wonderland,
while still heading the failing Laugh-O-Grams studio in Kansas City,
Missouri. After completing the film, the studio went bankrupt
and was forced to shut down, meaning the film was never released to
the public. In California, Disney continued to send out
proposals for the Alice series, in hopes of a distribution
deal, which was finally arranged through Winkler Pictures, run by
Margaret Winkler and her fianceé, Charles Mintz. As for what Alice's
Wonderland is about, it starts off with Alice entering a cartoon
studio so she can watch cartoons being created. The cartoons
come to life and play around, and Alice is amazed by what she
sees. After heading to bed that night, Alice dreams that she
is in the cartoon world, being welcomed by all the creations.
Alice plays around with the cartoons until danger approaches: a
group of lions break free from a cage and chase her. This
short helped set the stage for what was to come in the later Alice
Comedies, as it established the world as a playful dream, and also
introduced the elements which would soon define the series.
Trivia
about the series
Julius
bears a striking resemblance to Felix the Cat. This wasn't
accidental: Charles Mintz, who distributed both the Felix series for
Pat Sullivan and the Alice series for Walt Disney, had insisted on
this in an attempt to emulate Felix's success. Black Pete made
his first appearance in "Alice Solves the Puzzle",
released on February 15, 1925, and was a recurring antagonist in the
series. Legend once had it that Clarabelle Cow made her first
appearance in 1926's "Alice on the Farm", but this has
since been disproven (the cow in the cartoon is white and looks
nothing like Clarabelle). The Alice Comedies lasted
three years in theatres, from 1924 to 1927. The series ended with
"Alice in the Big League", released on August 22,
1927. Alice was played by four young actresses at various
times during the series' run: Virginia Davis, Margie Gay, Dawn
Evelyn Paris (later known with the stage names of Dawn O'Day and
Anne Shirley), and Lois Hardwick.
Content
Although
seen as cute and funny in their time, the Alice Comedies contain
content which might be considered surprising and somewhat harsh
today. Although Alice is a little girl, she spends much of her
time avoiding danger, and even getting kidnapped by the cartoon
villains, threatened with such perils as being tied to a log in a
sawmill. Although all of Alice's threats are cartoon drawings, some
might find the imagery a bit disturbing due to the character's young
age, and the fact that she is a real person, or they might find it
simply light-hearted and fun, due to the portrayal.
Furthermore, some illegal activities such as bootlegging are
portrayed, with Alice herself in ownership of "home brew".
