First Appearance

Alice's Wonderland (1922)

Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks

Origin[]

Alice is the protagonist of the Alice Comedies series. She is a young girl, who is friends with an animated cat Julius. In her adventures, Alice spends much of her time avoiding danger and even getting kidnapped by the cartoon villains such as Pete and his Henchmice threatened with such perils as being tied to a log in a sawmill.

In in her first appearance, Alice's Wonderland, Alice enters a cartoon studio so she can watch cartoons being created. The cartoons come to life and play around, and Alice is amazed by what she sees. After heading to bed that night, Alice dreams that she is in the cartoon world, being welcomed by all the creations. Alice plays around with the cartoons until danger approaches: a group of lions break free from a cage and chase her. This short helped set the stage for what was to come in the later Alice Comedies, as it established the world as a playful dream.
