1915 film Bill appears about 13 minutes into the 1915 silent film version of
Alice in Wonderland.
Disney version Bill makes a brief appearance in the 1951
Disney animated film based on the book. In this version, he is portrayed as a
chimney sweep with a
Cockney accent, voiced by
Larry Grey. Bill is recruited by the White Rabbit and the
Dodo to go down the Rabbit's chimney to pull the "monster" (
Alice, made giant) out of the house. He seems to accept the task at first, but when he sees Alice in the window and realizes that he's been asked to retrieve a "monster", he tries to run in terror. However, the
Dodo catches him and forces him down the chimney, telling him this could be his moment of glory. Unlike in the book, Alice does not kick Bill out, since her hands and legs are sticking out outside of the house. Instead, he spreads a lot of soot, causing Alice to begin to sneeze. Hearing her inhale frantically, the White Rabbit hides and the Dodo is knocked off the roof as Alice wriggles inside, trying to suppress the sneeze. Bill, however, cannot escape in time, and Alice's sneeze is so big it blows all of the soot out of the house and rockets Bill into the sky, after which he is not seen again for the rest of the film. A lizard identical in appearance to Bill, voiced by
Wayne Allwine, is a member of
Ratigan's gang in the 1986 film
The Great Mouse Detective. Bill make cameo appearances in the film
Who Framed Roger Rabbit, where he is helping someone hold a ladder in the studios of Maroon Cartoons, and in the television series
House of Mouse, being seen walking along with Dodo in the opening sequence.
''American McGee's Alice'' Bill (under the name of
Bill McGill) makes a cameo in the 2000 video game ''
American McGee's Alice'', voiced by
Andrew Chaikin. He is much more
chameleon-like and appears to be a builder, and wears a toolbelt, cap and waistcoat. He has a very cynical outlook on life and repeatedly asks Alice for
brandy, until a gust from the
Duchess's house forces Alice inside, causing him to run in fear. He later appears again, and explains that he'll have the leeches in to clear up the remains of the defeated Duchess. Bill is last seen at the end of the game, during Wonderland's return to peace.
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland A character loosely based on Bill by the name Elizabeth appears in
Once Upon a Time in Wonderland, portrayed by
Lauren McKnight. Going by the nickname "Lizard", Elizabeth is a young woman who is one of
Caterpillar's Collectors. Alice meets her upon attempting to locate the
Knave of Hearts after the two split up. She tells Alice that she and the Knave were great friends in his earlier days, assisting him with many battles in Wonderland. She also reveals his love for Anastasia and that the real reason he escaped Wonderland was to forget her abandonment of him. Lizard later attempts to help Alice rescue the Knave but is knocked out by Jafar. She does regain consciousness where she sees Anastasia looking at the Knave's petrified form. Later, after bathing in the river, Elizabeth finds Cyrus's lamp where the Knave of Hearts is now residing. She makes some wishes which improve a nearby town. Elizabeth then admits to the Knave of Hearts that she has feelings for him. After unwittingly making her third wish for the Knave of Hearts to feel something for her, Elizabeth falls dead. The
Jabberwocky later finds Elizabeth's dead body and takes her eyes so that Jafar can track down Cyrus's lamp.
