{{quote|''"I think Alice got what she deserved. I never wanted to make it in the first place, but everybody said I should. I tried to introduce a little sentiment into it by getting Alice involved with the White Knight, but they said we couldn't tamper with a classic. So we just kept moving it at circus pace."''|[[Walt Disney]]'s [[Creator Backlash|thoughts on the film]].}}
Number 13 in the [[Disney Animated Canon]], this [[The Golden Age of Animation|1951]] adaptation of ''[[Alice in Wonderland
It also inspired at least two rides in the [[Disney Theme Parks]]. One is a conventional ride through the movie, while the other is the famous [[Everything's Better
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]
* [[Adipose Rex]]: The Queen of Hearts
Line 16 ⟶ 17:
* [[Amazing Technicolor Wildlife]]: The Cheshire Cat.
* [[Art Shift]]: The scenes of Alice and Dinah at the riverbank with Alice's sister have more realistic backgrounds than the rest of the movie does.
* [[Attack of the 50

* [[Berserk Button]]: Never insult the Caterpillar for his size. EVER.
* [[Canon Foreigner]]: The Doorknob only exists here.
* [[Censorship
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Subverted. It looks like the size-changing mushrooms will get Alice away from the Queen, but taking both of them at once almost immediately returns her back to her normal size just in time for a frenzied chase.
* [[Composite Character]]: The Queen of Hearts is a combination of the Queen of Hearts, the Duchess, and the Red Queen. The line "All ways are my ways" is from the Red Queen and is [[The Artifact]] here, as it refers to her being a chess piece who can go in every direction. Also, Pat's role is given to the Dodo. And the Dormouse has the Mouse's fear of cats.
* [[Conspicuously Light Patch]]
* [[Crowd Song]]: "The Caucus Race", "All in the Golden Afternoon", "Painting the Roses Red" and "The Unbirthday Song Reprise". Man, they love to sing!
* [[Cut Song]]: Loads. One of them, an [["I Want" Song|"I Want" Ballad]] titled "Beyond the Laughing Sky", eventually received new lyrics and became "[[Peter Pan (Disney film)|The Second Star to the Right]]."
* [[Dark Reprise]]: "Who's Been Painting My Roses Red?"
* [[Disney Acid Sequence]]: The whole film, naturally.
* [[Don't Explain the Joke]]:
{{quote|

Line 40 ⟶ 41:
** For another thing, when Alice mentions her cat's name to the March Hare, he intriguedly asks her who that is and... ''pants''. Yeah.
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: The Queen of Hearts.
* [[Ham

'''March Hare:''' Nothing.
'''Queen of Hearts:''' NOTHING WHATEVER?!
'''March Hare:''' NOTHING WHATEVER!
'''Queen of Hearts:''' '''''[[Funny Moments (Sugar Wiki)|THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT!!!]]''''' }}
* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: "All In The Golden Afternoon".
Line 55 ⟶ 56:
* [[Insistent Terminology]]: "''Your'' way?! All ways here are ''my'' ways!"
* [[Jerkass]]: Several characters. A notable example being the Cheshire Cat.
* [[Large Ham]]: Who do you think? [[Off
* [[Man of a Thousand Voices]]: J. Pat O'Malley provides all the voices in the "Walrus and the Carpenter" segment.
* [[Memetic Outfit]]: Alice's blue
** Hey, don't forget the "Alice Band".
* [[Mood Whiplash]]: "Very Good Advice", in which Alice sings about her personal flaws and breaks into tears, feels out-of-place to some people, especially since it comes in between the parts where Alice explores the Tulgey Wood and the Cheshire Cat tells her to visit the Queen of Hearts.
* [[My Friends and Zoidberg]]:

'''Voice:''' [[The Runt At the End|Hooray!]] }}
** A more traditional example comes when the White Rabbit does roll call at the beginning of the trial:
{{quote|
* [[Mythology Gag]]: The Cheshire cat sings the beginning of "The Jabberwock" poem ("'Twas Bril-lig/ And the sly-thy toves/ Did gyre and gim-ble in the wabe...").
* [[Negated Moment of Awesome]]: Alice uses the mushrooms during the trial so she could turn giant and give a speech about [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|the reasons the Queen of Hearts sucks]], but she shrinks while she says it. No one takes it seriously as a result.
* [[Oh, No, Not Again]]: After Alice eats a treat that says "Eat me", she starts growing again while searching for the White Rabbit's gloves and gets that reaction.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Not just Alice, but also the White Rabbit at some points.
* [[Opening Chorus]]
Line 74 ⟶ 75:
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: The dress worn by the Queen of Hearts, with the [[High Collar of Doom]], underskirt with the black and gold chevron design, and the overskirt with the [[Pretty in Mink|ermine trim]] (although [[Detail-Hogging Cover|the animation limitations made it look like just a solid white trim in the film]]).
