Alice in Wonderland (2010) | comment |
A 2010 film by Tim Burton, released in 3D, based on Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. Not an adaptation of either book, but rather a sort of sequel, following an adult Alice years after the events in Wonderland. If you're looking for the 1951 film, also by Disney, visit here.Alice Kingsleigh (Mia Wasikowska) has been having strange dreams since childhood—dreams that take place in a strange land 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 the surprise overwhelms her, and a conflicted Alice runs away ... and then promptly falls down a rabbit hole.She finds herself in Wonderland - more properly, Underland - where the White Rabbit is confident that she's "the real Alice", while others aren't so sure. The Red Queen has taken over nearly all of Underland, but the ancient document called the Oraculum shows the Frabjous Day arriving, a day of battle on which it is foretold that Alice will slay the Jabberwocky and put an end to the Red Queen's reign.There're only a few problems: Alice thinks this is all a dream, and she's not prepared to slay anything.Just as the 1951 film inspired two different rides at the various Disney Theme Parks, this version has now also inspired the Mad T Party, a nighttime event at California Adventure featuring live music that replaced ElecTRONica.A sequel, entitled Alice Through the Looking Glass, was released in May 2016. Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska return, along with nearly all the main cast, and The Muppets director James Bobin takes charge, with Burton himself simply returning as producer. | |

Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_135b9977 | comment |
Bloodless Carnage: There's really not much blood spilt throughout the movie, especially in the final battle, although that one gets a pass as most of the participants are metal cards and chess pieces. In regard to the disaster on Horunvendush Day, the Jabberwocky's lightning breath is capable of vaporizing people, as at least one knight meets this fate. | |

Man in a Kilt | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_15929a2d | comment |
Man in a Kilt: The Hatter wears one for the final battle. Little explanation is offered, other than the Hatter's sounding Scottish when he's feeling rebellious. Near the beginning of the movie, when Alice dances with her would-be fiancé, she tells him that she had a vision of women wearing pants and men wearing dresses. Since she is effectively wearing pants (of metal!) in the final battle, the Hatter wearing a kilt could fulfill the other part of her vision. | |

Evil Sounds Deep: Averted with the White Queen's voice being deeper (and smoother) than the Red Queen's tyrannical shriek. Played very straight with the Jabberwocky, who is voiced by Christopher Lee. | |

Never Trust a Trailer: In the trailer, there's a scene where a frog confesses to stealing the queen's food. In the trailer, it was treated as a funny scene. In the movie? It's played up to be the Queen's Kick the Dog moment. | |

Daddy's Girl: Alice. In the film's first scene, seven-year-old Alice goes to him after having another nightmare. While he tucks her in, she fearfully asks him if she's going mad, to which he replies that all the best people are. And even after his death, Alice clearly still holds him in high regard. | |

Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_1e7c47ab | comment |
Stealth Pun: If you listen to the White Queen condemn her sister, you will notice that the Red Queen is 'Iracebeth of Crims'. That is, she's crimson. Crims is the region of Underland where Iracebeth's castle, Salazen Grum, is located. The origin of the name probably is a reflection of the color, though. | |

Mythology Gag | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_26ac510e | comment |
Mythology Gag: The real name of Wonderland is Underland. The original name Lewis Carroll gave Alice in Wonderland was Alice's Adventures Underground. While the Gryphon from the books is absent as a character in the events of the film, he is referred to in the Red Queen's castle◊. The Mock Turtle◊ and Walrus also appear as portraits. Lady Ascot (Hamish's mother) griping about how the gardeners planted white roses when she specifically requested red, and Alice's response that she could paint the roses red, is a shout out to the Queen of Hearts in the book, as well as to other adaptations. We briefly see her doing so in a flashback of her first visit to Underland as a child, with the Red Queen watching over her. | |

Nightmare Fetishist | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_2969dda7 | comment |
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 Anne Hathaway, the White Queen has the same craziness as her sister, the Red Queen, and so she tries to act/be very good and pure to compensate, but she is still kind of odd. You could think of her as a Perky Goth who happens to wear all white. On the other hand, she shows a look of brief disgust when Alice cuts off the Jabberwock's tongue and when she collects blood from the Jabberwock's severed head. She also seems to be close to vomiting when briefly smelling the buttered finger for the potion. | |

Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_2bc48235 | comment |
Dream Apocalypse: This is played with a little. Despite the fact that this isn't a dream, Alice constantly insists that it is. The Hatter mentions to Alice in a rather serious tone (as opposed to his usual one) that if she is dreaming all this, then he must not really exist (and she agrees with him). However, he doesn't seem too concerned about it; he quickly returns to his jovial attitude, saying that she must be a little crazy to have imagined someone like him. (Again, she doesn't deny it.) | |

Frame-Up | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_2d364343 | comment |
Frameup: As if the Knave's crude attempt to seduce Alice wasn't bad enough (see above), when his attempt to seduce her fails, he tells the Red Queen that the exact opposite happened, and she tried to seduce him. This actually works, and the Queen orders her execution. (Ironically, this actually works to Alice's advantage. While he's doing this, she is looking for the Vorpal Sword, and has already found it, befriended the Bandersnatch, and has managed to free the Hatter by the time he shows up to arrest her, at which point what happened before is the least of their problems.) | |

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, on the other hand, is so horrified at the prospect that he tries to kill her, and then begs for his own death when he doesn't succeed. | |

Kick the Dog: 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 to have his tadpoles on toast.... And then tells the fish who's attending her that she loves caviar, i.e. fish eggs. And THEN she demands for a pig, which she promptly uses as a footrest. In one scene, it's even shown that nearly all of her furniture is held up by living animals. | |

Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_35b241c0 | comment |
Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: Johnny Depp decided to play the Hatter with two accents, using a Scottish accent to reflect those moments when the Hatter is slipping into his dark rage/rebellion. Both the accent and the eye color change combine to warn the characters around him when he's about to become very, very dangerous. However, this constant accent switching does mean his accent slips at strange moments during scenes, making it seem like the Hatter comes from both the UK and US; it can possibly be handwaved as his family's accent being from a more remote part of Underland, but adopting a more centralized accent when they started living near the ruling class. | |

Split Personality | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_370aad9 | comment |
Split Personality: The Hatter seems to have one - he lapses into a Scottish brogue and his eyes even change color as an indicator on occasion. Supplemental material explains that the brogue is common to those who speak Outlandish, the language from the portion of Underland which includes the Hatter's home village of Witzend. | |

Defector from Decadence: It seems this way for at least a few members of the Queen's court, seeing as members of the resistance are working against her from within it. The White Rabbit is her courier and also sometimes acts as a sort of herald, while the two Tweedle brothers are her court jesters (after they get captured). | |

Color-Coded Eyes | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_3c670a1b | comment |
Color-Coded Eyes: The Hatter and the Cheshire Cat both have very intense, green eyes that positively glow when either or both of them are in a very good mood. This helps distinguish the Hatter's normal, gentle personality from his much more vicious and violent personality, which has flaming orange eyes. It also allows the Cheshire Cat to disguise himself as the Hatter and be executed instead of the Hatter. The execution doesn't work because the Cheshire Cat can lose his head without losing his life, unlike the Hatter, who would have been killed. It's the slight difference in the shape of the vivid green eyes that reveals which Hatter is really being 'executed'. | |

Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_3cb1d38d | comment |
Bad Boss: The Red Queen is sort of a hypocrite here. On one hand, she orders her minions executed for trivial reasons, eats their children, and sadistically uses them like furniture. On the other, the Knave of Hearts gets off with nothing more than a few slaps to the face when Alice escapes with the Vorpal Sword (something you'd think would really be bad for them) because he was too dumb to know that she was the one staying in the castle as a guest. Of course, part of that was the Queen's fault too, but she wasn't one to accept blame. | |

Adaptational Heroism | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_3f45f1e6 | comment |
Adaptational Heroism: The Hatter certainly wasn't a villain in Carroll's books, but he really wasn't a hero either, at least not the type with the Knight in Shining Armor attitude he is here. In fact, most of Alice's allies here count as this trope, but especially the Hatter. The Cheshire Cat. In this movie, he's more willing to help others than to get them in trouble. For a sense of scale: he did everything in his power to make the Queen of Hearts angry and get Alice's head chopped off in the original animated movie, whereas in this one, the first thing he does is offer to heal her and later saves the Mad Hatter from getting his head chopped off. Note that this is a case of Recursive Adaptation, as the Cheshire Cat wasn't as much of the jerk in the original books. | |

Broken Aesop | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_401d4116 | comment |
Broken Aesop: There's a prominent moral, especially early on, of Screw Destiny - in Underland, everyone keeps telling Alice to follow some arcane prophecy and she keeps turning them down, which is meant to be analogous to her refusing to get married in "the real world." A major moment is when she defies the destiny altogether and decides to run off on her own. Except seconds later, it turns out that defiance was part of the prophecy. At the end of the movie, Alice fulfills the prophecy, and everything is lovely. So, was Alice learning the opposite lesson, that sometimes the plans people have for you are good ones? Apparently not, because when she returns to the real world, she still refuses to get married, and this is treated as a good thing. The main difference is that Alice was being forced onto a path to her destiny in the "real" world (bad), but in Underland she was able to start making choices on her path that ultimately still led to her destiny (good). The aspects of rebellion, progress, and fighting the power, both in the real world and in Underland, are undermined heavily by the fact that the White Queen had been in power for a long time as a result of her birthright. The Red Queen is the one who is actually a relative outcast (implied to be The Un-Favorite) who represents a new paradigm, and her taking control is treated as horrible in every way. The film's ending isn't so much an advancement of society as it is bringing things back to the good old days... albeit with the denizens of Underland more grateful for being freed from their servitude... and the sequel film shows that the Red Queen's birthright was given to the White Queen for reasons of maturity and temperament, not due to one sister actively supplanting another. There's a strong undercurrent of "girl power" in the film, what with its conversion of Alice from precocious youth to Action Girl and the constant reminders of Victorian-era sexism, but the film also goes out of its way to depict Alice's questioning nature and knowledge as something unusual (rather than in the book, where they're treated as common even in a girl her age) and credits them to her father. Meanwhile, most of the characters in Wonderland that were jerks, idiots, and Know Nothing Know It Alls that Alice opposed with her genuine wit and wisdom are rewritten to be more heroic, often accomplishing far more impressive tasks than Alice or doing actually plot-relevant stuff while Alice sits on the sidelines, and almost all of the characters to receive this treatment are male. While the movie reminds the viewer multiple times of the idea of women being only valued for their appearance, it also has characters insult the Red Queen for having a big head whenever possible. However, since Alice was half-convinced through most of the film that she was dreaming, that could explain her passivity; also, Wonderland wasn't actively in any sort of rebellion in Carroll's version, so heroics weren't exactly part of the status quo. As for the insults... again, those were the covert aspects of the rebellious society, not the overt; the Queen's court was all about appearance, with courtiers putting on big false body parts to curry favor with her, small creatures being bullied and used as furniture/sports equipment, and Alice only managing to become the Queen's favorite because she was nine feet tall at the time. | |

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: Zigzagged, and it's an important part of how Alice eventually succeeds. Wonderland is real, but Alice doesn't believe it is, and she has to convince herself otherwise. She thinks she's in a dream because everything that's happening seems impossible to her. The only way she can stand up to the Jabberwocky - much less defeat him - is to convince herself to believe it's real and what she thinks is impossible is, indeed, possible. | |

Unresolved Sexual Tension | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_50ca4422 | comment |
Unresolved Sexual Tension: Alice and the Hatter have a lot of chemistry and are instinctively very protective of each other. The other characters seem to be aware that there's some kind of unspoken bond between the two and tolerate it, with the exception of the Dormouse. Interviews and supplementary information reveal that the original script did intend to have Alice and the Hatter kiss, and that the Dormouse is secretly in love with the Hatter. The kiss is written out, but the romantic subtext and the Dormouse's animosity is kept in. | |

Royal Favorite | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_51401ffe | comment |
Royal Favorite: Alice grows to become nine feet tall after eating the "Eat Me" cake, and thanks to this, she manages to ingratiate herself (under an assumed name of Um) with the Red Queen, who states that "Um" is her "new favorite". Free to explore the Queen's palace, Alice finds the Vorpal Sword and cures and befriends the Bandersnatch. Interestingly, this is an inversion of the Queen of Hearts in the original "Alice in Wonderland" - when Alice grows big there, the Queen demands that she gets cut down to size... starting from the top. | |

Throwing Your Sword Always Works: The Dormouse again, when the Jub-Jub Bird corners her and Bayard the bloodhound on the battlefield. After the final battle, the Hatter throws his scissors right into the Knave's wrist, just as he is about to murder the Red Queen (to whom he was forcibly handcuffed as punishment). | |

Broad Strokes | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_547196be | comment |
Broad Strokes: The movie is a continuation of the original stories. However, because the film takes a lot of characters and elements from the Looking Glass story and puts them into Wonderland (such as the White/Pale Queen and the Queen of Hearts also being the Red Queen) means that Alice never visited the world of the Looking Glass and her adventures in Wonderland played differently to how they happened in the book. | |

When she accepts the Vorpal Sword from Alice and looks like she's on the verge of an orgasm while holding it, she puts it away quickly rather than be tempted into becoming a Lady of War. | |

Troubled Backstory Flashback: The Hatter has a very tragic backstory that is only briefly seen in flashback, and which is implied to be the origin of his split personality, as it appears to be that moment when his eyes first turn orange; in the current storyline, it is references to that back story that almost always trigger the eye color change in the Hatter. | |

Adaptation-Induced Plot Hole | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_56723175 | comment |
Adaptation Induced Plothole: In the original book it makes perfect sense for the Queen of Hearts to have an army of lower cards serving her. But there's no real reason why the Red Queen, who's not a playing card, would have one. It is perhaps slightly explained by the fact that they serve out of fear of the Jabberwocky, not actual loyalty. It could also be a result of her being a Composite Character of the Queen of Hearts and the Red Queen, who were originally from different books. | |

Fantastic Racism | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_57b80b45 | comment |
Fantastic Racism: The reason why the Red Queen accepts Alice into her court without question. Alice claims to be from a town that mocked her for her large size, and that she came to the court of the Red Queen believing that she would be more tolerant. The Red Queen has absolutely no problem with this, given her own disproportionate head-size. Sure, this is because of her own condition, but the fact that she didn't order Alice's death because she happened to have a massive head that happened to match her body size is fairly impressive. | |

Creative Closing Credits: The film had a very pretty scene for the cast list and Avril Lavigne's song that showed the clouds shifting, mushrooms growing (and glowing), and the bare Goth Spirals branches blooming to show that Underland is healing after the Red Queen's defeat. In the 3D version, this is windowboxed, with the growing fauna spilling out onto the blank areas of the screen, giving the impression that the screen is a window to Underland. This awesome sequence can be seen here. | |

Wild Mass Guessing: Depp's take on the Mad Hatter is a historical one: Hatters went mad due to working with mercury (which can turn hair and eyes red while bleaching skin and cause anxiety, hallucinations, and possibly schizophrenia), and the Mad Hatter has had mercury poisoning for a very long time. He also went with the Edgar Allan Poe angle to the Raven/writing desk riddle. | |

Eye-Dentity Giveaway | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_6a9ffc1a | comment |
Eye-Dentity Giveaway: At one point in the film, the Mad Hatter (who has been taken prisoner by the Red Queen and sentenced to death) walks out into the courtyard, his hands bound, and lays his head on a chopping block. After keeping his hat on, at his insistence, the camera closes in on his face the moment before the axe comes down on his neck, and we see him grinning, whilst his eyes are turquoise instead of their normal green, and with oval-shaped slits for pupils. Right as the axe comes down, instead of cutting through flesh and severing his head, the Hatter's entire body vanishes, except for his hat, which floats into the air until it reaches the Red Queen's balcony — and then, below the hat appears the head of the Cheshire Cat himself, who used his shapeshifting powers to impersonate the Hatter, whilst setting him free to instigate an uprising against the Queen. | |

Meaningful Name: The Knave's real name is Stayne (Stain), and he certainly is one on Underland. The Red Queen's real name is Iracebeth, a play on the word irascible, which she very much is. Iracebeth also sounds a lot like Erzebet. It's also quite similar to Elizabeth, after whom the Red Queen is visually modeled. The White Queen's real name is Mirana, a variant of Mira, which means "peace." It's also similar to 'Miranda', which in Latin means '(she who is) worthy of admiration' or 'she who must be wondered at' - which is apt considering most people's response to her. It also sounds a little like "mirror", aka "looking glass"! | |

The Fettered: The White Queen is hindered by her vow to harm no creature, and thus cannot take her crown by force lest she have to hurt her sister in the process. | |

Like Brother and Sister: The original script called for romance between The Hatter and Alice. Although the kiss was removed, the romantic subtext was not, but Johnny Depp stated in interviews that he prefers to think of them as being this trope, protective of each other in the way a brother and sister are. | |

Politically Correct History | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_7e74d66f | comment |
Politically Correct History: Alice is rebellious in ways which wouldn't even have occurred to girls of her day. She holds attitudes which would have shocked and offended the feminists of her era; for example, in the late 1800s, her refusal to wear a corset would be as scandalous as refusing to wear a shirt today. What's more, scientific opinion at the time was that corsets were healthy for women; it wasn't a solid consensus, but it was popular enough. This results in an Alice who reads as a progressively feminist girl, born in the last few decades of the 20th century, who has been transported to Victorian England; at the very least, her perspectives on gender norms could paint her as one of the earliest suffragettes, just a generation or two off. Her father's former business partner offers her (an unmarried 19-year-old girl) a 50/50 partnership in a fledgling business as if it were no big deal and only a little strange. In that time period, such a decision might well have destroyed his business reputation - far more impactful than some raised eyebrows. | |

The Hatter certainly wasn't a villain in Carroll's books, but he really wasn't a hero either, at least not the type with the Knight in Shining Armor attitude he is here. In fact, most of Alice's allies here count as this trope, but especially the Hatter. | |

Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_9f063f19 | comment |
Tough Leader Façade: The White Queen spends most of her time looking elegant and floating around waving her arms in the air; but during her first appearance, she asks her courtiers to excuse her for a moment, and the second they leave, she drops her arms, picks up her skirts, and runs to greet Bayard in a gush of emotion. She's making use of Obfuscating Weirdness. | |

Awesome Moment of Crowning: After Alice slays the Jabberwocky, the Red Queen's crown floats over to land on the White Queen's head, transforming in its design as it goes (though, of course, the Cheshire Cat was holding it). | |

Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_a236dd4c | comment |
Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Several of the Talking Animals, including the White Rabbit and the frogs in the Red Queen's court. Somewhat justified, because the Red Queen gives her servants red garments, red markings, and heart motifs to claim them as hers. Lampshaded when the White Rabbit speaks deprecatingly of the animals in the real world that run around naked and "shukrn" in public, though he doesn't seem to mind Bayard, his family, or the Cheshire Cat being as such. | |

Good Is Impotent: While this is what often happens to Actual Pacifists and friends to all living things in Grimmified versions of fairy tales, both the White Queen and Alice avert this completely. The White Queen is a genuinely decent (if creepy) person, but if she tries to give you a Last-Second Chance, you'd better take it. Otherwise, see Fate Worse than Death above. Alice takes about 20 levels in Badass over the course of the movie - without going Darker and Edgier. | |

The Dark version is the Red Queen and the Knave of Hearts, although unlike most versions, he tries to kill her in the end. | |

Red Eyes, Take Warning | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_a939a527 | comment |
Red Eyes, Take Warning: The Hatter normally has intense green eyes and an energetic but gentle personality. However, he does have a darker, more violent personality that the other Underlanders fear. The first sign of his personality change is his eyes shifting from green to a fiery orange-red color; at which point, characters either try to pull him out of the dark mood or flee. | |

Oh, Crap!: A few throughout the film: The Dormouse, after telling Alice to run and accidentally calling her by her real name in the Knave's presence. After passing out in the Bandersnatch's shed because of her injury, Alice promptly does this when she wakes up, due to having the Bandersnatch growling right next to her face. Alice and the Hatter both have this look on their faces when they see the Jabberwocky lumbering towards them. The Red Queen after realizing that the Jabberwocky has been slain. | |

He repeatedly calls her a stupid girl, derides her (in an almost sleepy voice) about how she is clearly not Alice, and how dense she's always been, having misnamed Underland as "Wonderland" when she visited the first time. He drops the snark when she finally cottons on that everything is real. | |

Fate Worse than Death | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_b1346878 | comment |
Fate Worse than Death: The White Queen decrees that the Red Queen is to be ignored until the end of time, banished to outer Underland with the Knave of Hearts as her only companion. Considering that the only reason anyone — including even faceless card Mooks — hung around the Red Queen was fear of the Jabberwocky, it's a clear case of Laser-Guided Karma. Stayne's fate too. He's forced to accompany the Red Queen in her exile until Underland is destroyed. Lampshaded: In the White Queen's defense, she made a final plea for peace with her sister before the battle started, and it was ignored completely. You could argue that the Red Queen had only herself to blame after that. | |

Obfuscating Insanity | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_b4fce1ab | comment |
Obfuscating Insanity: The Hatter is very aware that there is something wrong with his sanity, he knows how the people around him react to insanity, and he knows that everyone thinks he's insane. Knowing that the Knave of Hearts dismisses insane people as useless (especially him and the Hare), the Hatter deliberately plays up his insanity to keep the Knave thinking he's harmless. In the process, he fools the Red Queen as well. In the end, he turns out to be much more capable and much more badass than either of them realized. | |

Empathic Weapon: The Vorpal Sword never shows any outright signs of life, but it likely is. Many characters suggest that it plays more of a role in fighting the Jabberwocky than Alice does, and she simply has to be the one who holds it. When Alice doubts that she can fight the creature, Absolem assures her that she simply has to "hold on" and let the sword do the work, and the Jabberwocky himself regards the sword as his "ancient enemy" while calling Alice its "insignificant bearer". | |

The Un-Favorite: The Red Queen, or at least from her own perspective; she insists that her parents favored her little sister, the White Queen. This is her Freudian Excuse for being such a psycho. The sequel film shows that Iracebeth's own lack of grace contributed to her loss of favor, and that her sister had no desire to supplant her sister in any respect, but accepted what their parents decreed all the same. | |

Of Corset Hurts | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_be795a6c | comment |
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. (Never mind that if she wasn't wearing the corset, she probably wouldn't have been able to get her dress on in the first place...) note Actually, that's a common misconception, and odds are she still would be able to: even in the Victorian era, most corsets weren't all that tight, and served more to support the bust than to shrink the waist. Alice's objection to corsets is really more analogous to burning her bra. Her objection to stockings, however, is never really explained, though it's possible that she's not a fan of garters or garter belts (which would have held the stockings in place). | |

Dull Surprise | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_c1b2c63f | comment |
Dull Surprise: Pretty much all of Alice's dialogue is delivered in a flat manner - regardless of what's actually happening at the time. She also doesn't react at all to losing her clothes after becoming a giant and outgrowing them. It may be that her preconception of everything being a dream changes how she reacts to it - it doesn't seem real, so the impact is automatically less, especially when she expects to wake up any minute. | |

Shout-Out | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Alice's father's name is Charles; Lewis Carroll's real name was Charles Dodgson. Charles Kingsley, author of The Water Babies, was another famous Victorian children's author whose work influenced Lewis Carroll. Alice is given the surname of Kingsleigh in this adaptation. The twisted tree near the entry door to Wonderland is very similar to the one in Sleepy Hollow (1999). The Jabberwocky acting as the Red Queen's Sentinel, similarly to American McGee's Alice. The Knave's comment to the Red Queen, "Is it not better to be feared than loved?" is in fact a shout out to Macchiavelli's The Prince. There seem to be a few shout-outs to that other Big Effin' 3-D CGI movie that came out only a few months before, such as the floating seed pods, and having to lead an army to fight a dragon with a dangerous creature they befriended, but it's probably that movie referencing this one's story plus another big effin' movie trilogy's tropes. The first shot of the Hatter sitting in his cell is a visual allusion to the shot of the falsely-imprisoned man◊ in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. "Alice's Theme" contains the lyric "Remember what the Dormouse said", which is taken directly from Jefferson Airplane song "White Rabbit". To Hook. An iconic English literary character returns to a fantastical land after many years away to face old adversaries. Both films contain flashbacks of the protagonist’s past, which feature scenes from the books the films were based on. To American McGee's Alice. A grown-up Alice returns to Wonderland, which has become significantly less whimsical than when she first visited thanks to the cruel reign of the Red Queen/Queen of Hearts, who uses the Jabberwocky as an enforcer. | |

And You Were There | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_c8db76f6 | comment |
And You Were There: Played with a bit: most obviously, the sisters remind Alice of Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum. Less explicit is the fact that both the Hatter and Hamish have red hair, and the Hatter represents everything that Hamish is not. The caterpillar is implied to represent her father, which is probably why he was named "Absolem." There's a nod to Hamish's mother representing the Queen of Hearts, and some have seen parallels between the Knave and Alice's sister's husband. A parallel could also be drawn between Alice's sister and the White Queen. | |

Screw Destiny | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_ce75a983 | comment |
There's a prominent moral, especially early on, of Screw Destiny - in Underland, everyone keeps telling Alice to follow some arcane prophecy and she keeps turning them down, which is meant to be analogous to her refusing to get married in "the real world." A major moment is when she defies the destiny altogether and decides to run off on her own. Except seconds later, it turns out that defiance was part of the prophecy. At the end of the movie, Alice fulfills the prophecy, and everything is lovely. So, was Alice learning the opposite lesson, that sometimes the plans people have for you are good ones? Apparently not, because when she returns to the real world, she still refuses to get married, and this is treated as a good thing. The main difference is that Alice was being forced onto a path to her destiny in the "real" world (bad), but in Underland she was able to start making choices on her path that ultimately still led to her destiny (good). | |

Broken Bird | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_d08595d3 | comment |
Broken Bird: The Hatter. As it gets explained to Alice via flashback (and is made more explicitly clear in supplemental material), his entire family was killed the day the Jabberwocky ambushed Witzend and the White Queen lost her crown. The Hatter himself only survived the invasion because he rushed to get the White Queen to safety; he returned to the scene afterward and found everything burning and everyone dead. This is one of the two main reasons for his madness, the other being mercury poisoning (a common malady for Victorian milliners). | |

Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_d238fd9d | comment |
Shapeshifting Excludes Clothing: Whenever Alice shrinks or grows, her clothing remains its original size, forcing some creative costume changes until the White Queen finally puts her back to normal. This is a contrast from the original text, in which her clothes changed size with her. Presumably this was done for the sake of fanservice. | |

Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_d6e79fda | comment |
Good Eyes, Evil Eyes: Alice in Wonderland, as a movie, has an abundance of eye tropes. Nearly every character, including Alice, has exaggerated or unique eyes. Even the Dormouse gets a close up of its eyes. The Hatter's eyes are also part of a very subtle scene transition. Additionally, the eyes help distinguish good guys from bad guys. | |

Action Girl | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_dae5c997 | comment |
There's a strong undercurrent of "girl power" in the film, what with its conversion of Alice from precocious youth to Action Girl and the constant reminders of Victorian-era sexism, but the film also goes out of its way to depict Alice's questioning nature and knowledge as something unusual (rather than in the book, where they're treated as common even in a girl her age) and credits them to her father. Meanwhile, most of the characters in Wonderland that were jerks, idiots, and Know Nothing Know It Alls that Alice opposed with her genuine wit and wisdom are rewritten to be more heroic, often accomplishing far more impressive tasks than Alice or doing actually plot-relevant stuff while Alice sits on the sidelines, and almost all of the characters to receive this treatment are male. While the movie reminds the viewer multiple times of the idea of women being only valued for their appearance, it also has characters insult the Red Queen for having a big head whenever possible. However, since Alice was half-convinced through most of the film that she was dreaming, that could explain her passivity; also, Wonderland wasn't actively in any sort of rebellion in Carroll's version, so heroics weren't exactly part of the status quo. As for the insults... again, those were the covert aspects of the rebellious society, not the overt; the Queen's court was all about appearance, with courtiers putting on big false body parts to curry favor with her, small creatures being bullied and used as furniture/sports equipment, and Alice only managing to become the Queen's favorite because she was nine feet tall at the time. | |

Historical In-Joke | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_dfe57573 | comment |
Historical In-Joke: The Hatter's design goes back to the phrase "mad as a hatter" which inspired Carroll to create the character. The phrase arose from cases of mercury poisoning in hatters due to the lack of knowledge about toxins. Said poisoning created mental instability and made hair red and skin very pale - all traits given to the Hatter to reflect the original idiom. However, it's only half the reason why he's mad; the other half being losing his entire family in a Jabberwocky attack. | |

Composite Character: The Red Queen comes off as a combination of the Red Queen from Through the Looking Glass and the Queen of Hearts, though she's more of the latter, going by her "Off with their heads!" attitude and penchant for tarts. If Tenniel's illustrations on the original book are to go by, her massive head comes from the Duchess being thrown into the mix as well. The Dormouse may have been combined with the Mouse, since she first appeared at the beginning (which the Mouse did in the original novel). | |

Pimped-Out Dress: The Queens and their courtiers. Also, Alice gets several over the course of the movie to match her ever-changing size (with the Hatter making one in seconds while she was tiny). | |

Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_e5d8460d | comment |
Unexplained Recovery: The Bandersnatch's eye. Played with in the case of Alice's scratched arm after the Bandersnatch licks it better. The inflammation disappears and the bleeding stops, but it's still pretty visible, even when she returns to London in the ending. | |

Recursive Adaptation | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_e88804e0 | comment |
The Cheshire Cat. In this movie, he's more willing to help others than to get them in trouble. For a sense of scale: he did everything in his power to make the Queen of Hearts angry and get Alice's head chopped off in the original animated movie, whereas in this one, the first thing he does is offer to heal her and later saves the Mad Hatter from getting his head chopped off. Note that this is a case of Recursive Adaptation, as the Cheshire Cat wasn't as much of the jerk in the original books. | |

Exact Words | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_e9e35e8f | comment |
Exact Words: When the resistance goes to meet Absolem the Caterpillar, the White Rabbit asks if this particular girl is "the right Alice"; the insect replies "Not hardly." He later points out that he never said she wasn't the prophesized Alice—rather, she wasn't ready to be when the group first met. Alice needs to find her inner courage and strength and assert them as a hero would, and thus become the savior that Underland needs; once she confidently declares her identity, Absolem smiles and remarks "Alice at last!" | |

Despite being named for the shortened version of the first book, the movie is actually a "pseudo-sequel" of sorts. Alice is actually returning to Wonderland (although the film calls it "Underland"). | |

Cain and Abel: The vicious Red Queen jealously loathes her younger sister, the benevolent White Queen, because the latter is adored by the populace (and, to judge by a throwaway line toward the end of the film, was also their parents' favorite while the two were growing up). | |

The Mad Hatter: "You're entirely bonkers... but all the best people are." The March Hare also thanks the Knave for the compliment of calling him mad. The Hatter himself tends to shake off that there's something "wrong with him" with a vigorous "I'm fine." Interestingly, the original script had the Hatter as an extremely lucid character. | |

0% Approval Rating: The Red Queen. As the Knave of Hearts comments to her, and she later agrees, "It's better to be feared than to be loved." The only reason anybody ever followed her is because of her big dragon. After the thing dies, they immediately turn on her. In other words, she never learned the other warning of The Prince: "Avoid being hated." The White Queen has clearly read the book. | |

Never a Self-Made Woman: Yes and no; despite Alice's father having very little screen time, once Alice understands who she is, she labels herself as her father's daughter, then proceeds to continue his work, choosing to go into business and leave home to establish trade routes, rather than get married to a 'suitable' member of the aristocracy. She's doing what the eldest son of a family would be expected to do, rather than a daughter. | |

Attempted Rape | |
Alice in Wonderland (2010) / int_f85354eb | comment |
Attempted Rape: At one point, the Knave of Hearts pins Alice between him and a wall in the hallway and rather seductively (and creepily) whispers to Alice how he "likes largeness." However, Alice fends him off easily, being nine feet tall at the moment (compared to the Knave's seven). If she had been her normal size... well, actually, he would have left her alone. This probably got as close to the trope as the movie could get while still keeping the rating it had, more or less. | |

Beauty Is Never Tarnished: Alice falls down a rabbit hole, gets shrunk, enlarged and stuffed in a teapot, then fights the Jabberwocky... all without a curl on her head getting tangled. (Though to be fair, she probably got to have a bath while she was in Marmoreal.) There's one small aversion in that even when she returns to her daily life, she still bears the scars from the Bandersnatch attack. | |
