Alice
Alice is the main character of Disney's animated film Alice in Wonderland.
Alice is portrayed as being very curious.
She is often seen daydreaming and gives herself advice instead of listening to the advice of others.
The closest thing Alice has to a friend is Dinah, her kitten, and not even she understands Alice's dreams of finding "a world of her own."
Alice is well mannered, polite, courteous, mature and has an elegance and gentleness of a young woman, although once she falls into Wonderland she finds it harder and harder to maintain her composure.
She is shown to be determined, but her determination is often overpowered by her temper, seeing as she does not give up on finding the White Rabbit until she gets frustrated, and is easily put off by rudeness.
She wears a blue balloon-like gown with a white pinafore apron over-top, white stockings, black Mary Jane shoes, white bloomers over her underskirt, and a black headband.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland had served as inspiration for Walt Disney's earlier Alice Comedies.
By 1931, he had "storyboards and sketches" for a film adaptation of the children's novel; however, the release of another Alice film during the same year caused him to put the project on hold.
With the conclusion of World War II, Disney considered the film again, planning it to be a combination of live-action and animation starring Ginger Rogers as Alice.
In 1946, however, Disney decided to drop the live-action aspect of his Alice film and make it completely animated instead.
For the voice of Alice, he wanted one "that would be English enough to satisfy British audiences and preserve the feeling of an English literary classic, but not so English that it would put off American audiences."
He found that in young actress Kathryn Beaumont, when watching her in On an Island with You.
Successfully auditioning for the role of Alice, Beaumont voiced the character and acted as reference material for the animators: her acting was recorded and used by them to animate the character.
During the recording of her voice acting, Beaumont dressed as Alice to better aid her with "getting into character".
Despite not being trained as a singer, she also provided Alice's singing voice, as Disney envisioned the songs as possessing a "childlike feel" to them.
She also appears in many episodes of Disney's House of Mouse and in the direct-to-video releases Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse and Mickey's House of Villains.
She is now voiced by Hynden Walch.
Alice can be seen as a meetable character in the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts.
Alice can also be considered an unofficial Disney Princess, seeing as she appears in many instances of Disney Princess art, videos and other media (such as being a 'Princess of Heart' in Kingdom Hearts).
In the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Alice is mentioned as "Allyson Wonderland" on some graffiti written on the bathroom wall in Toontown.
