History WesternAnimation / AliceComedies

* PublicDomainAnimation: The first year of the shorts have only recently entered into Public Domain, while the later ones have not yet.

*** Not entirely true—the early release 'Alice and the Three Bears' ends with the two sharing several romantic, sloppy mouth-to-mouth kisses, with Julius licking his lips after the first one before they go in for another. Later cartoons didn't show the same intimacy, but the later dubbing crew clearly got the idea from the original shorts.

* AnimalStereotypes: Alice's Egg Plant. Buzzards are...Bolsheviks?!

** Weirdly enough, that subtext was dubbed in later during the public domain releases. It's more of a [[LikeBrotherAndSister Brother-Sister dynamic.]]

* CatsAreMean: Julius is an aversion, which may disprove the oft-repeated rumor that Walt Disney inherently disliked cats. [[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Pegleg]] {{WesternAnimation/Pete}} first appears in this series, but won't officially become a cat until MickeyMouse comes along (here, he's portrayed as a nondescript bearlike creature).

The '''''Alice Comedies''''' was a series of short cartoons made by Creator/WaltDisney and Creator/UbIwerks during UsefulNotes/TheSilentAgeOfAnimation. It was the successor to their failed WesternAnimation/NewmanLaughOGrams series, and a precursor to their ''WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit'' series. The cartoons feature Alice, a live action girl, interacting with an animated world. Near the beginning, the shorts would start with something happening to Alice in the real world after which she falls asleep or gets knocked out. She then enters an animated dream world where she interacts with Julius the Cat and a host of other {{Funny Animal}}s. [[HilarityEnsues Hi-jinx Ensue]]. Later installments dropped the real world FramingDevice and took place entirely in the cartoon world.

Compare Creator/MaxAndDaveFleischer's' ''WesternAnimation/OutOfTheInkwell'', another live action/animation blending cartoon that was the inspiration for this series.

* CatsAreMean: Julius is notable for being one of the only Disney cats to avert this. [[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Pegleg]] {{WesternAnimation/Pete}} first appears in this series, but won't officially become a cat until MickeyMouse comes along.
