No, there is an ending. Walt completed it. It's just cut from this video. You can see the complete version on the "Walt Disney Treasures - Disney Rarities" DVD set.
Imagine, less than 10 years later Disney made the three little pigs and 14 years later Snow White. The speed with which his studio improved its art is incredible.
Disney definately held in there. I think it might be one of the few surviving movie companies from back in the day that hasn't been destoryed, mysteriously disappeared, or merged with another company...
AMAZING to see that Live action mixed with animation was some of the first experimentation that DIsney did with cartoons. DIsney would roll over in his grave if he knew nearly 100 years later in the 80's and 90's, liveaction mixed with animation would gain popularity once again with movies like "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and "Space Jam" would take the world by storm.
@veryboredpug In Japan, theaters hired actors called benshi who stood on stage and spoke the lines from a script as the audience watched the silent film. It's one of the reasons why Japan was so slow to adopt talkies (the last major silent film was in 1939, ten years after Hollywood had already abandoned silents).
@veryboredpug Because in the silent days, the music was on sheets and played by a live band in the theatre as the film rolled....in smaller theatres you might have all the music played by one person on a piano or organ...sometimes the bands would do primitive sound effects too, such as a drum rimshot to simulate gunfire, for instance
@bigfisher42 I think I read that the Laugh-O-Gram studio went bankrupt before they could finish. Not that that answers the question of where she would have fallen if it had been completed, but it's the reason we don't find out where she landed.
Who could had guess that if Margaret Winkler didn't agree to distribute the series. Walt Disney's film career most likely would had been over following this film. Let alone if everyone turned Walt down.Who knows what would had happened to him if this was his last film, instead of the beginning of the Disney studios. I know Laugh O Grams closed up shop and all, but consider this: without Margaret Winkler, agreeing to let Walt continue the Alice Comedies in the Los Angeles area, would there be a Disney Studio today? Probably not.
I remember seeing this cartoon on the disney channel 2001ish late at night (a year before it gave all its classic shows the boot) with the full ending. I wonder why/how they lost it within a short time? The dvd of this short (cut version) was released just 4 years later in 2005.
Guys! What did I say about tripping acid on bring your daughter to work day? I know it's the source for 80% of your inspiration, but can't we just take a break from the LSD for one day?

She was a very pretty little girl. It's interesting to see the pioneers of the film industry. May she rest in peace .
* Every child who ever fantasized about inter-acting with a favorite cartoon character would love this timeless silent classic. ☺

Adorable kid. Great cartoon. Walt was a genius.
At that time, people might've thought disney was mad to fuse cartoon with real like footage.
props to walt, he believed in the impossible.
Disney definately held in there. I think it might be one of the few surviving movie companies from back in the day that hasn't been destoryed, mysteriously disappeared, or merged with another company...

I have now watched the very first Disney production ever :D
This heavily is referenced in cartoon network's Over the Garden Wall, in episode 7
I've been looking for this for ages! Thanks for uploading this. I got Virginia's autograph, and I can finally see her first film!
Hipster Walt Disney: he made moving pictures before Harry Potter made it cool.

can i just say that this is beautiful? the little girl is majorly cute.
Virginia Davis passed away August 15, 2009...RIP Alice...
How do people not know of this! This is awesome!
This is the cut version. It's missing the scene at the end where she wakes up and realises it was all a dream.

That feeling when you're aware that you're watching a part of history.

"Probably"
Here from Over The Garden Wall episode 8
Over the garden wall \._./
Who else came after watching Walt Before Mickey?
LOVE!

7:34 Down the rabbit hole for the first time in history!
Delightful little film
Walt moved to California and in 1923, based upon this film, he sold a series of 13 films to a New York distributor.
Love this!
Ahh, the animation that help start it all
@kingcrimson234 dude the train jumping is just for comic reasons
@veryboredpug, I think it had something to do with not being able synchronize the sound to the film.
That film was so good. The part where the lions chase her made me laugh.
She's 5 in 1923.
The lion just now figures out that he can eat the bars of his cage???
Why was the music changed for the version on the Disney Rarities DVD?
Well, I would like to know how this turned out! Why was this video cut?
This series of animated shorts was Walt Disney's first success; years before Mickey Mouse.
that is pretty creepy. especially the end..
+Melissa Moonchild the couldnt finish it, thats why it just finishes
what happen to alice at the end?
The repetitive movement animation and general randomness and clutter of the Cartoonland reminds me of old DOS games from the early 1990s.
From this To the biggest divert company actually.... It's quit touching yall know :)
Its sad because they lost the ending of this film... i really want to see the rest!!! Thumbs up if u agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@mattjnor98 yepp:) im doing a biography of him for school and a book talked about this episode:)
It's a cartoon. Anything can happen in a cartoon. It doesn't have to be realistic.
Yay Alice!
Wowwwwwwwwwww
does anyone know, if the animator at the beginning is Walt Disney himself?
wait did the girl just kill herself in the end?........what a shocking ending this is
disappointed by the end! Where does she fall?! Am i alone asking myself this question?
yeah, but it was able to be captured on film, though
@njnproductioninc2011 The ending is lost but apparently she falls into her bed and wakes up, that's all
Guys! What did I say about tripping acid on bring your daughter to work day? I know it's the source for 80% of your inspiration, but can't we just take a break from the LSD for one day?
Why didn't Walt ever finish this?
It ends abruptly as Walt Disney ran out of money before this could be finished.
"I would like to watch you draw some funnies."
...I think I'm done here.
no she isn't, Virginia is 90 years old, and last month I got a letter from her
lucky guy

Holy crap that's my mom's birthday.

She said in an interview that it was actually her Aunt
