Alice's Mysterious Mystery (1926) ****



A very memorable movie about dogs being kidnapped and turned into sausages. Probably the best of Walt Disney's "Alice In Cartoonland" films.

Alice's Orphan (1926) ***

A little orphan kitten is adopted.

Alice The Fire Fighter (1926) ***

A tall building is burning.

Felix Dopes It Out (1925) ****

Directed by Otto Messmer and produced by Pat Sullivan. Felix sails to the South Sea to find a cure for a red nose, encountering garlic-hating sharks and baseball-playing monkeys.

Alice Loses Out (1925) ***

Alice is a hotel manager.

Felix All Puzzled (1925) ***

Felix goes to Russia to solve a cross-word puzzle.

Alice Wins The Derby (1925) ***

Alice wins a mixed cars-and-horses race.

Alice The Toreador (1925) ***

Alice wants to become a bullfighter, but she's revealed as a fraud when her bull turns out to be a cat in disguise! Quite uneven (the best scene involves a cat smuggling his kittens across the fence), but the mix of real-life Alice and animated cartoon characters works extremely well.

Alice's Egg Plant (1925) ***



A bolshevik agitator (a hen named Henski, looking suspiciously like Trotsky) encourages Alice's hens to go on strike. A very good cartoon that perfectly reveals Walt Disney's anti-communist views and his well-known hostility towards labor unions.

Alice's Tin Pony (1925) ***

Exciting train rides with Alice.

Alice The Jail Bird (1925) ***

Alice escapes from prison.

Alice Solves The Puzzle (1925) ***

A nice little cartoon.

Alice Cans The Cannibals (1925) ***

Typical Alice cartoon. The first half is very inventive and exciting.

Alice's Wild West Show (1924) ***

Excellent cartoon western.

Alice's Spooky Adventure (1924) ***

Alice finds herself among ghosts.

Alice's Fishy Story (1924) ***

Alice finds herself among Inuit fishermen.

Alice's Day At Sea (1924) ***

Alice's trip to the sea inspires her to dream of a visit to an animated underwater world.

Alice And The Three Bears (1924) ***

Amusing version of "The Three Bears" story.

Alice And The Dog Catcher (1924) ***

Closer in spirit to contemporary "Our Gang" comedies than to the other Disney's "Alice In Cartoonland" films. But quite fun, both the animated and the live-action sequences. Very politically incorrect by today's standards, although its KKK gags could be seen as poking fun at the Ku Klux Klan, rather than being racist (the main gag being that the kids form a Klan-like organization, but allow a black kid to join).

Bed Time (1923) ****

An excellent Koko The Clown cartoon.
