Entertaining.
Walt Disney produced a series of Alice films in the early 1920s--long before Mickey was created. In these films, a real little girl, Alice (Virginia Davis), would have adventures in the cartoon world. Her friend on these adventures was her cat. Here in "Alice in the Jungle", we find the pair in Africa. Much of the time, the cat fights with various animals (including crocodiles and lions) while you don't really see that much of Alice except at the beginning and ending of the short. There isn't a lot of depth to this one--and I must admit it's not one of the better Alice films--but it is still very entertaining--and a bit surreal. It all has a nice, silly cartoon feel that you enjoy in the other films and is worth your time--especially to see Walt's roots.
