Operation Wonderland is a 1951 short promotional featurette featuring behind-the-scenes footage on the making of Walt Disney's then-upcoming animated feature, Alice in Wonderland, that aired as part of the Ford Star Revue on June 14, 1951. Narrated by opera singer James Melton for his daughter Margo, the featurette goes through the basics of the production and even shows some of the live-action reference footage shot for the animators.
Trivia[]
- Walt asks Kathryn Beaumont if she is studying Alice's "Jabberwocky", to which Beaumont says she is actually doing her algebra homework, and jokes that both may have been invented by the same person. Most likely a reference to Lewis Carroll's (real name Charles Dodgson) other profession as a mathematician.
- Some shots during the closing montage are reused from The Reluctant Dragon.
