Young Alice wakes up in a strange place. A worried looking white rabbit runs by and drops a fan, which Alice returns to him. Walking along, she passes a house where a noisy fight is taking place between the Duchess and a cook. The Duchess sings to her baby, which turns into a pig and runs away. Outside, Alice meets the Cheshire Cat. He disappears, but leaves behind his grin. Later, Alice stumbles onto a tea party which is being attended by the Mad Hatter, the March Hare and the Dormouse. To Alice’s amazement, they tell her there is no room at the table even though there are many empty places. The Mad Hatter explains that he killed time and now it is always tea time with no time to wash up. When each place is dirtied, they move on to the next. After they pour hot tea on the Dormouse, Alice leaves the party, meeting the Caterpillar. He asks her to recite “Old Father William,” but does not approve of her version of the poem. Alice wanders into a castle garden. At first, the Queen of Hearts threatens to cut off her head, but later asks her to dance with them. Alice saves the Duchess from execution and they go for a walk on the seashore, where they meet the Gryphon and the Mock Turtle. The Mock Turtle tells his history and the Gryphon sings a song. Alice is summoned to court where a trial is taking place. A jury is chosen to determine if the Knave of Hearts has stolen the Queen’s tarts. The White Rabbit confesses to stealing the tarts, which so angers Alice that she loudly protests. This annoys the Queen, who orders her executioners to cut off Alice’s head. Before they can carry out her orders, Alice wakes in a chair at home, just in time for tea. More on Wikipedia
