In 1939, there was a second attempt to produce the animated film. Following the success of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Disney purchased the film rights to Carroll's book with Sir John Tenniel's illustrations. A script and some storyboards were made by David Hall, as well as a Leica reel, but the project never materialized due to World War II. Twelve years later, a film based on the novel was released by Disney.
