Walt Disney's Alice in Wonderland

Don't expect anything like the originals of Mary Blair...The blown-up pictures look flat and desaturated.

Good..

SO BEAUTIFUL!!!

If you're an Alice fan or a Mary Blair fan, this is for you.Blair's work is iconic among disney fans. The simplistic and bright style lend well to a picture book, but the page layouts are a little... spartan. Pretty bland for the text pages when the art is so bright!The story follows the Disney movie version of Alice (of course) so no surprises there. Its not super long, so a good read for little ones.

Disney's Alice in Wonderland, as told through the gorgeous art work of Mary Blair, makes for one very spectacular book! Mary Blair (1911-1978) was one of Disney's most brilliant conceptual designers, who contributed in the creations of such great film classics as Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan. Mary Blair gave Disney 34 years of her gorgeous and vivid art, which will always stand out through her use of unbelievably vivid colors and her impressionistic art form.Mary not only helped design these characters for these Disney classics, but she brought her unique art style to other children's books, advertisements, theatrical set designs and theme park attractions. Mary Blair remains one of the most respected artists in the history of Disney animation, and this book showcases her talent! In this book, you can see the beginnings of the Disney characters of Alice, the White Rabbit, the Mad Hatter and the Queen of Hearts. Mary's gorgeous impressionistic paintings of them show the forms that would take shape later on, in the film.This book is the second of Disney's books showcasing the fantastic talents of Mary Blair. The first was published last year in 2007, Cinderella, and it is the most gorgeous treasure as well! I think you can still get this first edition here on Amazon from other dealers!I am hoping Disney will publish Mary's art work that she did in creating the Peter Pan characters next year, so we will have all 3 of her major film contributions to Disney's characters in Alice, Cinderella and Peter Pan. For anyone who loves seeing the origins of the classic Disney characters in these early, gorgeous art forms, you will love this book on Alice in Wonderland by the unbelievably talented Mary Blair!

Used this as an introduction to my 1st grade class on our Alice in Wonderland themed un-Birthday Party. Loved that it included all of the main parts of the story so they were able to understand the movie and projects more. Was a bit wordy for a picture book - took a little longer than smaller children would normally sit and listen. Also read to my 4-year-old daughter at home - definitely wordy for her.

This is a reproduction of the original "Alice in Wonderland" and was illustrated by the wonderful Disney artist,Mary Blair! The illustrations are vivid & bright! Pure Mary Blair!!
