Several Alice in Wonderland clubs and websites were eagerly awaiting this release on DVD, cos they had promised a total re-mastering of the film, and with "extras" for the DVD release....but when the DVD came out recently, not only was the DVD devoid of any special features such as deleted scenes, behind the scenes footage, additional stills etc...the print they used to create the DVD was very low quality and "grainy". The ultimate rating was that this was a very poor quality DVD and not the re-mastering that was promised.

You can see all this discussed on several Alice in Wonderland websites.

I wonder if the poor film print quality of this DVD had anything to do with how the Daily Express ended up with tens of thousands of DVDs like this. My guess is....that the major videostore chains probably saw this DVD and rejected it due to the low quality of the film transfer process as discussed on the Alice in Wonderland site....so...somebody got stuck with 50,000 or 100,000 sub standard DVDs....so the Daily Express probably snapped them up as a job lot for a free giveaway, cos they are not good enough quality to be sold in the stores.

Lets see....the general view of the Alice in Wonderland sites is...this was a lousy job they did at making this DVD.
