Disney's Alice in Wonderland
© Disney
Alice, a pretty sight in her blue dress and white pinafore, is an adventurous little girl. Out with her sister one afternoon, feeling bored and sinking into a dream-like state, she follows a white rabbit to see where it goes. This rabbit is dressed in a waistcoat and is worriedly saying how late it is! Curious, Alice follows The White Rabbit into a burrow, where she will grow to a huge size and also shrink to half her original size several times. Washed through a keyhole by an ocean of her own tears, Alice winds up floating inside a bottle. She eventually enters Wonderland—a world as upside-down and backwards from her own world as anything can be. Alice meets a range of fascinating characters: the storytellers Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee, a garden’s worth of singing flowers, The Caterpillar who smokes and talks; a Cheshire Cat who can quote nonsense poetry and disappear; and the illogical Mad Hatter and The March Hare, who give a very strange Tea Party.

Still on the trail of the rabbit, Alice encounters an army of playing cards hard at work, painting white roses red. She is taken before the Queen of Hearts, who is angry because her tarts have disappeared. Convinced Alice took them, the Queen brings her up on trial. Alice shrinks and grows in size before she gets back to the ocean and to the door with the talking doorknob through which she entered Wonderland. She sees herself sleeping, and begins to wake herself up as her sister calls her name. Once awake, she and her sister realize it’s time for tea and return home.
