One of Disney‘s most iconic movies of all time is getting a brand new 4K remaster, with the release date revealed.

What iconic Disney movie is getting a 4K remaster?

The iconic 1951 film Alice in Wonderland returns this year with a brand new 4K restoration, and is set to release on 4K Ultra HD and Blu-ray on May 5, 2026.

The new release sees the film having been meticulously restored and remastered in 4K Ultra HD by the Walt Disney Film Restoration team. According to Disney, the restoration took place over the course of nine months, and saw artists complete a digital scan of the original nitrate Successive Exposure negatives of the film, complete with a clean-up of the film.

The team also worked closely with Walt Disney Animation Studios veteran Michael Giaimo to review every shot of the film.

The release of the remaster also includes a litany of bonus features, including rare behind-the-scenes and archival material, including reference footage with commentary by Alice herself, voiced by Kathryn Beaumont, and companion shorts for the movie, including Thru the Mirror starring Mickey Mouse, Alice’s Wonderland, various other deleted scenes, and two music videos for “Beware the Jabberwock” and “If You’ll Believe Me.”

“The original animation artists’ work on Alice in Wonderland is stunning, and we’re proud to present it with renewed clarity and vibrancy,” said Kevin Schaeffer, Director of Restoration & Library Management. “This milestone restoration brings new depth and dimension to the film’s imaginative world, offering a vibrant presentation for longtime fans and a new generation of audiences alike.”

Originally released in 1951, Alice in Wonderland is based on Lewis Carroll’s 1865 novel Through the Looking-Glass, and tells the story of Alice, a young girl who falls down a rabbit hole and enters the mysterious world of Wonderland. The movie originally failed at the box office, but after being rereleased in 1974, became a massive success.

The movie was directed by the trio of Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, and Hamilton Luske, and starred Kathryn Beaumont as Alice, Jerry Colonna as the March Hare, Ed Wynn as the Mad Hatters, Richard Haydn as the Caterpillar, Sterling Holloway as the Cheshire Cat, Verna Felton as the Queen of Hearts, J. Pat O’Malley as Tweedledum and Tweedledee, and Bill Thompson as the White Rabbit.

Deadspin | Perfection without pretension: The Masters through the eyes of an Augusta National rookie <div id=""><section id="0" class=" w-full"><div class="xl:container mx-0 !px-4 py-0 pb-4 !mx-0 !px-0"><img src="https://images.deadspin.com/tr:w-900/28668212.jpg" srcset="https://images.deadspin.com/tr:w-900/28668212.jpg" alt="PGA: Masters Tournament - Practice Round" class="w-full" fetchpriority="high" loading="eager"/><span class="text-0.8 leading-tight">Apr 6, 2026; Augusta, Georgia, USA; Patrons move around the grounds during a practice round for the Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club. Mandatory Credit: Michael Madrid-Imagn Images<!-- --> <!-- --> </span></div></section><section id="section-1"> <p>AUGUSTA, Ga. — Scottie Scheffler said this week that growing up as an American golfer, Augusta National is the place you always want to get to. </p> </section><section id="section-2"> <p>Having spent the better part of four decades with the Masters on my life bucket list — much less sports or specifically even golf — I’ve had at least one goal in common with the best player of his generation.</p> </section><section id="section-3"> <p>I’ve been extremely fortunate to cover more than a dozen Super Bowls, several major golf championships and countless events throughout my journalism career. But 2026 is the year I finally got the opportunity to cover the Masters.</p> </section><section id="section-4"> <p>And to say the Masters experience has thus far exceeded extremely lofty expectations would not be doing this place justice.</p> </section><section id="section-5"> <p>From the first greeting with a volunteer at the press gate to meeting Augusta National members, almost every interaction has been with a smile and every step on the impeccable grounds surreal. And something less tangible is the general vibe throughout the grounds.</p> </section><section id="section-6"> <p>It’s genuine.</p> </section><section id="section-7"> <p>Once a year, one of the most private places in the golf community opens its arms wide — and chock full of Southern charm — to the world. The Masters, with all of its traditions, historic buildings and green jackets, is anything but your father’s stuffy country club.</p> </section><section id="section-8"> <p>Club members roam the press building, offering to help in any way that they can. I’m guessing the member from Australia, a private equity professional, who struck up a conversation with myself and a colleague typically has better things to do.</p> </section><section id="section-9"> <p>The message starts from the top. Asked about the “spirit” at the Masters, AGNC chairman Fred S. Ridley said it goes back to the founding of the club.</p> </section><section id="section-10"> <p>“The real motivation behind starting the Masters Tournament — of course it was not called that at the beginning — but the impetus was really to serve the game of golf,” he said. “So we look at ourselves as servants of the game of golf.</p> </section><section id="section-11"> <p>“We want this experience to be the best that it can be for everyone who sets foot on the grounds.”</p> </section><section id="section-12"> <p>It’s not empty rhetoric for cameras and journalists gathered here from around the world. That mission is backed up and evident in every nook and cranny of the grounds.</p> </section><section id="section-13"> <p>Those grounds are expansive in a way television cameras cannot remotely do justice. And they’re expanding further with strategic land purchases and lengthened holes.</p> </section><section id="section-14"> <p>When you hear players talk about Augusta National being a difficult 18 holes to walk, they’re not whining. I walked the course to get a perspective of all 18 holes, and it’s a legitimate workout. The elevation changes and rolling hills throughout the property make for a solid cardio workout.</p> </section><section id="section-15"> <p>What really separates the Masters is the innate ability of the club to adapt to the times without sacrificing its rich traditions. Ridley referred to it as the tension between “respecting tradition and innovating.”</p> </section><br/><section id="section-16"> <p>A few years ago, the club allowed the crew from Dude Perfect to play frisbee at the iconic “Amen Corner.” Ridley admitted it “may not have been the best idea,” but it also represents that forward-thinking mindset that keeps generation after generation flocking to Augusta every spring.</p> </section> <section id="section-17"> <p>Next week, visitors will be able to stop by and play The Patch, a local municipal golf course that the ANGC carried a significant role in restoring in conjunction with Tiger Woods and the TRMW company. Why?</p> </section><section id="section-18"> <p>“We feel that one of our obligation contributing to our community. So that opens up a number of opportunities,” Ridley said. “We felt that there was an opportunity to take a wonderful piece of property and to transform it into something that was just really life-changing for many people in this community.”</p> </section><section id="section-19"> <p>Scheffler is one of numerous players who have used the word “enjoyable” to describe their experiences at Augusta National. True, it’s hard not to be happy at one of the world’s most iconic golf courses with unlimited resources and a near-perfect forecast for the week.</p> </section><section id="section-20"> <p>But it’s more than that. ANGC has gone to great lengths to preserve a unique experience.</p> </section><section id="section-21"> <p>No cellphones means no “selfies” being asked of the players. Patrons are truly focused on the golf. A fleet of volunteers and workers who annually descend upon Augusta from around the country are available to answer questions and ensure crowds are able to move about the grounds without significant hassle.</p> </section><section id="section-22"> <p>England’s Aaron Rai walked off the 18th green following a practice round Tuesday. After signing a few autographs, he walked a few feet to greet several family members. He was among the patrons, all of whom respected his personal space.</p> </section><section id="section-23"> <p>Not far away, Jake Knapp stood near the clubhouse casually talking to friends without interruption. </p> </section><section id="section-24"> <p>“For us as players, it’s really an enjoyable experience, just how things are organized,” Scheffler said. “You’ve got the kids autograph area by the range. There’s no adults sneaking in there. Everybody’s afraid to break the rules. </p> </section><section id="section-25"> <p>“Augusta’s put some rules in place that make this not only a special experience for us, but a special experience for the patrons as well.”</p> </section><section id="section-26"> <p>There are six amateurs in the field this week, many of whom have been able to grab practice rounds with the world’s top professionals. </p> </section><section id="section-27"> <p>Brandon Holtz, a 39-year-old real estate agent from Bloomington, Ill., qualified for his first Masters as the reigning U.S. Mid-Am Champion. It’s one of several qualification paths the Masters has opened, and Holtz has played practice rounds with Tommy Fleetwood and Jordan Spieth the past two days. He’ll play the first two rounds of the tournament paired with Bubba Watson and Nico Echavarria.</p> </section><section id="section-28"> <p>“It’s a well-operated machine out here,” Holtz said. “Fans are great. Golf course obviously magnificent. The best by far golf course I’ve ever played.”</p> </section><section id="section-29"> <p>It’s an all-encompassing vibe that generates a tradition that’s truly unlike any other.</p> </section><section id="section-30"> <p>And we haven’t seen the first official tee shot yet.</p> </section><section id="section-31"> <p>–Derek Harper, Field Level Media</p> </section></div> #Deadspin #Perfection #pretension #Masters #eyes #Augusta #National #rookie
