Alice and Julius are real jerks in this one.
planktonrules14 June 2021
This story finds Julius and Alice in the woods trying to kill some of God's creatures. First, Julius chases a bunny and this is reminiscent of Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd. Later, Alice gets in on the act and begins shooting at a bear. The bear is NOT pleased and exacts his revenge on the homicidal duo.

This is a pretty good Alice cartoon, though the musical portion in the middle didn't work...mostly because it was a silent film! But there's plenty of action and in spite of Julius and Alice really being the bad guys in this one, it's clever and worth seeing.

ALICE GETS STUNG is sure to evoke memories of the later . . .

Warning: Spoilers
. . . 1971 feature film, Ken Russell's THE DEVILS. When title character Alice winds up trapped in a barrel with her symbolic nether region, Julius the pussycat, what viewer will NOT be reminded of all the birthday-suited sisters sporting glass bottles containing stinging bees attached to their exposed chests? Both ALICE GETS STUNG and THE DEVILS are carefully crafted to appeal to prurient interests, and neither is suitable for children or family men. Some may argue that THE DEVILS is more overt in its misogynistic messaging, but it can be argued that subtle film offerings disseminated to a more general audience are even more insidious due to their subliminal suggestions.
