As she says this, she shrinks to 'just the right size'. Alice drinks the drink (after considering that it may be poison) and says it taste like a cherry tart, custard, pineapple, and roast turkey. At the advisement of the doorknob, Alice drinks from a bottle on the table (which magically appears). At one door, in particular, is a cheerful doorknob placed on a door too small for her. She continues her pursuit of the rabbit to a round, cavernous room with doors on all sides. Her dress catches her fall like a parachute, slowing her descent, and after floating past assorted household objects such as chairs and pictures aloft in the hole, taking in the wonder of it all and asking several questions about what will happen to her should she ever reach the bottom of the hole or it goes on endlessly, even trying to pass the time with reading a book she grabs before being distracted, she lands safely at the bottom. She follows the rabbit into a small rabbit hole, where the ground gives way while she's focused on talking to Dinah, and she tumbles end over end down an endless black hole, only able to wave goodbye to Dinah as she falls out of sight of her kitten. Filled with curiosity over what a rabbit could be late for, Alice hurries after him, begging the rabbit to wait. Near a brook, she spots a White Rabbit with a waistcoat and an oversized pocket watch fretting endlessly over how late he is running. Alice slips away with Dinah, going off about " a world of her own". Her dress is wide enough to make a parachute, so she can float down to Wonderland.Īlice is sitting in a tree with her pet kitten, Dinah, listening to a history lesson being given from her older sister, who repeatedly reminds Alice to stop daydreaming and pay attention. She also sports black strapped Mary Jane shoes with brown/gray soles. Underneath her dress, she wears a white corset, a white petticoat, a frilly white knee-length and matching thigh-high stockings, a frilly white knee-length and matching pantalettes, and a matching lace slip. She has big blue eyes, fair skin, and blonde, thick, medium-length hair held back by a black ribbon tied in a bow.Īlice's signature outfit is a cerulean and light blue short-sleeved knee-length white skirted dress, with a white pinafore apron on top.
Her figure is slender and appears fairly petite, and it may be indicated that she has fairly wide hips as she gets momentarily stuck in the Rabbit Hole due to them. She is also very adventurous, idealistic, and curious.Īlice is a young, pretty girl living in what is assumed to be the Victorian era. Still, she's intelligent, polite, honest, and articulate, if not given a reason to be otherwise as aforementioned. Alice's pedantic eagerness to show off her knowledge, coupled with her push for respect, sensibility, and fairness, proved to be adverse to the chaotic environment in Wonderland, as her resistance to Wonderland's nonsense landed her in many precarious situations that ultimately get Alice chased from Wonderland. This gives some idea of Alice's large imagination, and at first, Wonderland seemed like the perfect place for Alice, as it allowed her to indulge in her imaginings as well as her intense curiosity. Prior to arriving in Wonderland, she sat on the bank of a river listening to her sister reading lessons, which she didn't like, as the book her sister was reading, had no pictures, and claimed, "In my world, the books would be nothing but pictures!" Alice, however, does enjoy reading, just not the books her sister prefers. Kat Cressida has also voiced Alice for a brief period of time in a few projects for Disney.Īlice is depicted as a daydreamer first and foremost. After Beaumont retired from acting in 2005, Hynden Walch has now taken over the role of Alice for Beaumont and has been her current voice actress since. This enabled keeping the wonder and childlike quality of a young girl while allowing for some maturity.
This was performed by Beaumont, the voice of Alice, who was drawn looking a bit older than her 7-year-old storybook counterpart. Like many Disney animated heroines, Alice was portrayed by a real-life actress as reference material for the animators. For the voice of Alice, Walt Disney wanted one "that would be English enough to satisfy British audiences and preserve the feeling of an English literary classic, but not so English that it would put off American audiences." He found that in the young actress Kathryn Beaumont, and within hours of her audition, Disney gave Beaumont the part. Walt Disney himself had specific instructions for how Alice should sound.
