Alice Comedies Guide, Meaning , Facts, Information and Description
The Alice Comedies are a series of cartoons created by Walt Disney, in which a real little girl named Alice and an animated cat named Julius have adventures in an animated landscape.Julius bears a striking resemblance to Felix the Cat. This wasn't accidental: Charles Mintz, who distributed both the Felix series for Pat Sullivan and the Alice series for Walt Disney, had insisted on this in an attempt to emulate Felix's success.
Black Pete made his first appearance in "Alice Solves the Puzzle", released on February 15, 1925, and was a recurring antagonist in the series. Legend once had it that Clarabelle Cow made her first appearance in 1926's "Alice on the Farm", but this has since been disproven (the cow in the cartoon is white and looks nothing like Clarabelle).
The series started with "Alice's Wonderland" in 1923, but this was only shown privately to interested distributors and was never officially released. The rest of the cartoons were released between 1924 and 1927. The series ended with "Alice in the Big League", released on August 22, 1927.
Alice was played by four young actresses:
- Virginia Davis
- Margie Gay
- Dawn Evelyn Paris (also known with the stage names of Dawn O'Day and Anne Shirley)
- Lois Hardwick
