The Annontated Alice gave a list of all the Alice film and TV adaptations. It didn't seem to love any of them, including the 1951 Disney version (though there was a 1936 Mickey Mouse cartoon based on the Alice books that was described as "brilliant"). The one that was referenced the most was a 1933 Paramount production, which looks somewhat interesting, at least, and it had a lot of big names in the cast--W.C. Fields as Humpty Dumpty, Cary Grant as the Mock Turtle, Gary Cooper as the White Night. Alice was played by Charlotte Henry, whose career did not really go anywhere after the break of getting this role. I have not seen this movie apart from these short clips on You Tube.
I found the Mickey Mouse cartoon. I'm not a cartoon expert, and it's 2:30am, but it seems pretty good.
