Usually the format consisted of Alice coming home from school and talking to Dinah (her cat) about a problem facing her that day, then going into Wonderland and finding the residents of that world facing a similar crisis. At the end of each episode she would return to the real world with a solution to her problem. In some cases, Alice would have a problem with her little brother, her older sister, a friend, or some other dilemma, and by the show's end, she would know how to deal with it. In "To Tear Is Human," Alice learns a lesson in humility when she splits her pants in the middle of a charades game, making her not so quick to laugh at other people's misfortune. (Earlier in the episode, she had laughed at another student for dropping his lunch tray.)

Characters

  • Alice: The show's protagonist, played by Elisabeth Harnois. Alice is an average preteen, often facing problems in school, with her brother or sister, or some other issue. She often confides in her cat Dinah about her day. Alice has a special gift in that she is able to pass into Wonderland by walking through her mirror. Whenever she arrives, she helps her friends solve their problems, which in turn offers a solution to hers in the real world.
  • Redzilda The Red Queen: The ruler of Wonderland, played by Armelia McQueen. Redzilda who is The Red Queen, also known as the Queen of Hearts, is Wonderland's sole monarch. She is strict but fair, often citing her mother and grandmother's example in her ruling. Unfortunately, Redzilda is occasionally a source for trouble, usually due to her selfish attitude. As queen, she expects to get whatever she wants right away, and often pouts when things go wrong. She usually ends up eating crow by the end of the episode, but sometimes, she offers solutions to problems other Wonderland residents face. Deep down, she cares greatly for her subjects (especially the White Rabbit), throwing them parties and celebrating their accomplishments.
  • The White Rabbit: The queen's chief lackey, played by Patrick Richwood. The White Rabbit is Redzilda's personal chef, servant, butler, event planner, shopping assistant, and every other job that she can think of at the time. He wears roller skates to get around, and occasionally loses control-with humorous results. He is also exceptionally timid, unable to stand up to Redzilda when he is being treated unjustly. The White Rabbit is good friends with the other citizens of Wonderland, and he is often a notable accomplice in their schemes, given his proximity to Her Majesty. Though he occasionally complains, the White Rabbit is actually Redzilda's closest confidant, and he often sympathizes with her.
  • Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dee: The Tweedle Brothers that can rap, sing and dance at the same time, played by Robert Barry Fleming and Harry Waters Jr.. However, they always give Alice some of their good advices and singing songs just for fun and laughter all the way.
  • The Mad Hatter: Wonderland's resident oddball, played by John Robert Hoffman. The Mad Hatter lives with the March Hare, and is usually seen at his perpetually set tea table. He tends to be rather careless with his dishes and cups. The Mad Hatter is Wonderland's chief inventor, often devising crazy machines and potions to get himself and the gang out of trouble. However, the devices tend to get them into further trouble. He also has an affinity for disguises, such as fake beards and nose/eyeglasses. His catch phrase is, "How true that is."
  • The March Hare: The hare that manages to be bright and foolish at the same time, played by Reece Holland. The March Hare is quite intelligent, and he often assists his best friend the Mad Hatter in inventing and scheming. Unfortunately, the Hare lacks common sense, and is easily duped by others.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (4668 words)
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a work of children's literature by the British mathematician and author Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll.
In 1865, Dodgson's tale was published as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by "Lewis Carroll" with illustrations by John Tenniel.
By this perspective, at its essence, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is not a dream but a surreal nightmare involving loss of control, inability to communicate or reason, rampant uncontrolled change of one's self and everything around, and a total inability to gain any foundation in the world.
Alice (Alice's Adventures in Wonderland) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (181 words)
Alice is a fictional character in the books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel Through the Looking-Glass, which were written by Charles Dodgson under the pen name Lewis Carroll.
She is seen as a logical girl, sometimes being pedantic, especially with Humpty Dumpty in the second book.
Alice is popularly depicted wearing a pale blue knee-length dress with a white pinafore overtop, although the dress originally was yellow in The Nursery "Alice", the first coloured version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
