Alice is sitting by a brook with her sister, throwing rocks in the water. Later, she is in her
sitting room, throwing rocks into a cup of tea. A creaking noise draws her attention to a
taxidermic White Bunny in a
glass case. Alice hides beneath a writing desk while the Bunny comes alive, dressing himself and retrieving a pair of scissors from a hidden drawer, which he uses to smash the case, freeing himself. Alice chases the Bunny into a writing desk on top of a hill; crawling into the drawer after him, she soon finds herself in a cellar. She accidentally falls backwards into a dustbin and finds herself in an elevator that takes her past all sorts of objects on shelves. The elevator stops and deposits her atop a pile of leaves. The leaves begin to stir on their own, revealing another desk in which Alice finds a tiny key. Alice uses the key to open a miniature door, through which she sees the Bunny disappear into a painted garden; she herself is too large to fit through the door. She finds an unlabeled bottle of a dark, inky liquid. Drinking it changes her into a little
china doll in her likeness. She then finds a
kolach that causes her to grow large, again rendering her unable to fit through the door. Frustrated, Alice cries until the room floods with tears. The White Bunny rows by, dropping a tray of tarts. Eating one returns Alice to her doll size and she is able to retrieve the key and chase the Bunny. Once through the door, Alice finds herself at the banks of a brook and encounters the White Bunny, who mistakes her for his maid and commands her to fetch scissors from his house. Inside, she drinks from another ink bottle and returns to her true size, trapping her inside the now too-small house. The Bunny and his animal companions try to force her out by sending
a skull-headed lizard through the chimney. Alice kicks him away, causing him to burst and spill his sawdust innards. The furious animals imprison Alice inside an Alice-shaped doll shell, which they lock inside a storage room filled with specimen jars. Alice breaks free of the doll shell and discovers a key inside a sardine can. She uses the key to escape the storage room, stepping into a
hall of doors. Behind one of them, she meets
a stocking-Caterpillar in a room swarming with sock-worms that bore holes in the floor. The Caterpillar tells her that eating one piece of his
darning mushroom causes things to grow, while the other piece causes things to shrink. Alice follows the sound of a screaming baby to a tiny dollhouse, which she enlarges by eating a piece of the mushroom. She discovers the Bunny inside tending a piglet in baby's clothes. The Bunny escapes while Alice chases the piglet downstairs, where a mechanical tea party is being hosted by a
wind-up March Hare and a marionette
Hatter. The Bunny runs away to the
attic and Alice chases. Behind a
curtain of clothes, Alice reaches the painted garden. The
King and
Queen of Hearts march into the garden with a troop of playing cards. The Queen commands the White Bunny to behead two fencing Jacks, among others; he does so with his scissors. The Queen invites Alice to play croquet, but Alice becomes angry when the mallets and balls turn into chickens and hedgehogs. In a courtroom, she is put on trial for eating the Queen's tarts. Alice tries to explain herself but the King commands her to follow a script. Annoyed, Alice starts eating the tarts and the Queen demands Alice's head. Alice asks "Which one?", and her head morphs into the heads of the other characters. The Queen demands
all her heads be severed, and the Bunny advances with his scissors. Alice wakes in her sitting-room. Around the room are the various household objects that populated her dream: Playing-cards, china dolls, marionettes, an inkwell, and socks in a sewing-basket. The case that formerly contained the taxidermic bunny is still broken and empty. Opening the hidden drawer in the case, she finds the White Bunny's scissors. Examining the scissors, Alice thinks to herself, "He's late, as usual. I think I'll cut
his head off". ==Cast==
