[[File:Alice-In-Wonderland-Theatrical-Poster.jpg|frame|Oops, wrong rabbit hole...]]
Alice Kingsleigh ([[Mia Wasikowska]]) has been having strange dreams since childhood, dreams filled with unusual creatures. Nearly twenty years old, she attends a fancy party with her mother and sister where Hamish, a young lord, proposes to her. Marrying him is what is expected of her, but she's conflicted enough to run away. And then promptly [[Down the Rabbit Hole|falls down a rabbit hole]].
Line 157 ⟶ 156:
** The Red Queen herself kicks the dog when she has a talking frog decapitated just for stealing her food.
*** And then says she's going [[Eats Babies|have his tadpoles on toast...]]
*** And [[Overly Long Gag|
* [[Kick the Son of a Bitch]]: After the White Queen sentences her to [[A Fate Worse Than Death]], the Red Queen takes comfort in knowing that the only person who loved her, the Knave of Hearts, will still be by her side... he is so horrified at the prospect that he tries to kill her, and then begs for his own death when he doesn't succeed.
* [[La Résistance]]
Line 178 ⟶ 177:
* [[Manipulative Bastard|Manipulative Bitch]]: The Red Queen thinks her sister the White Queen is this (and, to an extent, she's right).
{{quote| '''Red Queen:''' Mirana can make anyone fall in love with her. Men... [[Even the Girls Want Her|Women...]] [[Friend to All Living Things|Animals...]] Even [[Cargo Ship|the furniture]]."<ref> Although note that this might be less weird than it sounds, considering the Red Queen keeps "furniture" that includes living frogs holding up tabletops.</ref><br />
(later) "I know what you're doing. You think you can blink those pretty little eyes and I'll melt, just like Mommy and Daddy did. ''It is
* [[Meaningful Name]]:
** The Knave's real name is Stayne (Stain), and he certainly is one on Underland.
Line 195 ⟶ 194:
* [[Nice Hat]]: The Hatter has one (and makes a bunch more for the Red Queen at one point) - it even serves as a [[Chekhov's Gun]]. And a ''[[Crazy Awesome|mode of transport]]''.
{{quote| '''Chessur:''' Goodbye, sweet...hat...}}
* [[Nightmare Fetishist]]: The White Queen, as illustrated by the cheerful way in which she puts the disgusting ingredients in the potion she makes for Alice. As explained by her actress Hathaway, the White Queen has the same craziness [[In the Blood]] as does her sister, the Red Queen, and so she tries to act very good and pure to compensate, but is still kind of odd -- you could think of her as a [[Perky Goth]] who happens to wear all white.
** She does show a look of brief disgust when {{spoiler|Alice cuts off the Jabberwock's tongue.}}
*** And when she {{spoiler|collects blood from the Jabberwock's severed head.}}
Line 203 ⟶ 202:
{{quote| '''Cheshire Cat:''' What happened that day was not my fault.}}
** He was most likely referring to the day The Red Queen's Jabberwocky attacked.
* [[Not So Different]]: As noted above under ''Nightmare Fetishist'', the White Queen is just as insane as her sister, but is aware of it and (over-)compensates.
* [[Obfuscating Stupidity]]: The Hatter plays up his insanity to the Knave of Hearts, but is secretly [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass|quite the badass]]. The March Hare, however, definitely isn't pretending.
* [[Of Corset Hurts]]: Alice refuses to wear her corset to show how free spirited she is, saying how it's an item of female restriction.
