In Fifty-Four Fab, Boss Questions ... and The Fanzine Questionnaire Zappa named "Alice in Wonderland" one of his favorite films. Since there have been many movie adaptations it's unsure which one he meant. The most likely candidate might be the Disney version from 1951, since Zappa was 10 years old at the time and might have seen it in the theater.
