The 1933 film version of Alice in Wonderland was an all-star Paramount Pictures classic, considered by some to be the best version yet filmed. It is mostly live-action, except for The Walrus and The Carpenter, which was animated by Max Fleischer's studio.

Stars featured in the film included Charlotte Henry as Alice, W. C. Fields as Humpty Dumpty, Edna May Oliver as the Red Queen, Cary Grant as the Mock Turtle, Gary Cooper as the White Knight, Edward Everett Horton as The Mad Hatter, and Baby LeRoy as The Joker.

This version was directed by Norman Z. McLeod from a screenplay by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, based on Lewis Carroll's books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass.

This film has never been legally released on VHS or DVD, although it is occasionally broadcast on television. The original running time was 90 min.; when Universal Studios bought the television rights in the late-1950s, it was cut to 77 minutes.
