Dana and Tom with 5x Club Members, Christine Duncan and Kieran B. (Host and Creator of the Best Picture Cast ) , discuss Disney's Alice in Wonderland (1951) for its 75th anniversary: directed by Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, and Hamilton Luske, music by Oliver Wallace, editing by Lloyd L. Richardson, starring Kathryn Beaumont, Ed Wynn, Richard Hadyn, Sterling Holloway, and Bill Thompson. Plot Summary: Bored with her lessons, young Alice follows a fretful White Rabbit down a hole into Wonderland, a topsy-turvy world where she shrinks, grows, and meets a cast of eccentrics: a riddling Caterpillar, a grinning Cheshire Cat, and the tea-mad Hatter and March Hare. Her quest to find a way home leads to the court of the fearsome Queen of Hearts, whose short temper and cry of "Off with her head!" threaten Alice at every turn. After a chaotic trial, Alice finally stands up for herself — and wakes up, realizing it was all her own dream.
