The Alice comedies were created in the 1920's by walt disney as a short series of animated cartoons. In the series was little girl named alice, which was live action and she interacted, and played with an animated cat named julius. Alice and the cat then go on adventures in an animated world.
The series starts with alice going into a cartoon studio, where the cartoons from the pages have come to life, and are jumping around the pages interacting with each other and the people who apparently animated them. Alice then dreams about these characters. At the time the animation seemed funny and child friendly, although alot of the content would be seen as very controversial if watched today. For example In Alice and the Dog Catcher she is the leader of a club called the Klix Klax Klub, where the kids in the club wear paper bags over there heads with their faces painted on them over their heads. these characters seemed to resemble members of the Ku Klux Klan.
It was originally produced by Disneys forst company named Laugh-o-Grams but
distributed by Disney after Laugh-o-Grams went bankrupt. It is one of the first examples Disneys work, and without this we may not see or know the disney we love and recognise today.
