Alice in Wonderland Theme


The original key of the song "Alice in Wonderland Theme" by Disney is Bb major. The music was composed by Sammy Fain and the lyrics by Bob Hilliard for the 1951 animated film "Alice in Wonderland," produced by Walt Disney Productions. The song is performed in the movie by the character Alice, voiced by Kathryn Beaumont. An interesting trivia about the song is that it was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1952 but lost to "In the Cool, Cool, Cool of the Evening" from the film "Here Comes the Groom." The melody is whimsical and enchanting, capturing the magical and fantastical essence of Wonderland, with playful piano accompaniment and spirited vocals.
