The Alice Comedies series was created by Walt Disney, Ub Iwerks, and their staff in the 1920s, in which a live action little girl named Alice has adventures in an animated landscape. The shorts were the first work by what ultimately became The Walt Disney Company. Unfortunately, not all of these shorts survived.
This film is in the public domain meaning it has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights. You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission. Corporations, including The Walt Disney Company, lobbied Congress to get U.S. copyright laws extended by 20 years, twice! Because of that, it allows published works to be under copyright for almost a century and corporations to squeeze every last ounce of profit from them even long after the profitability has past. It keeps people from enjoying art, which is the purpose of art.
