Along with Dumbo, Alice in Wonderland was ported over to the Walt Disney Classics in late 1985, but was actually released on VHS on May 27, 1986. The price of the video dropped to $29.95 in October 1986, but changed back to $84.95 in early 1987. The Alice in Wonderland VHS saw some changes in 1988 and 1991, when it got a new tape master and was priced at $24.99, and these copies were later replaced by their Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection counterparts in 1994.
On July 13, 1999, Alice in Wonderland's 1999 re-issue on video was one of the last official releases within the Walt Disney Masterpiece Collection, along with Robin Hood. It was discontinued on January 31, 2000, and replaced by its Gold Classic Collection counterpart.

A dazzling blend of fantasy, animation and music create a kaleidoscope of adventures in this color -- splashed Disney classic, based on Lewis Carroll’s immortal story. On a golden afternoon, young Alice follows a White Rabbit, who disappears down a nearby rabbit hole. Quickly following him she tumbles into the burrow -- and enters the merry, topsy-turvy world of Wonderland! Memorable songs and whimsical escapades highlight Alice’s journey, which culminates in a madcap encounter with the Queen of Hearts -- and her army of playing cards!
