the march hare
coming across a tea-table in front of a house where the roof is shaped like ears, alice sees the march hare along with a hatter and a dormouse taking tea. joining them, they angrily tell her there's no room at the table, even though there is. irritated, alice decides to sit down anyway. the march hare delights in confusing her and the hatter asks an impossible riddle with no answer. taking out his watch the hatter complains that the march hare has tampered with it by putting butter in it. it turns out that time itself has stopped at the tea party as a result of the hatter's quarrel with time itself. because of a bad recitation at the queen of hearts's concert, the savage queen claimed he was murdering the time. time and the hatter fell out and as a punishment its always six o clock for the hatter now. the hatter laments his lost friendship with time and sings a little of the recitation he sang at the concert, which is a distorted parody of a popular nursery rhyme ("twinkle, twinkle, little bat...") the march hare suggests the subject be changed and the hatter votes for a story. after pinching and pulling the sleepy dormouse awake, the march hare and hatter beg for a story, whilst alice asks politely. the dormouse tells a bizarre tale of three sisters who lived in a well and drew treacle from it. a curious alice questions the logic of the story and is insulted by the hatter. angered, she turns to leave. no one notices her going, and she looks back to see the hatter and march hare trying to put the dormouse in the teapot.
alice in wonderland and through the looking-glass
upon arriving, the three land in a mallow marsh. the rabbit recounts that he himself did not see cyrus, rather he was told that the dormouse told him that he saw cyrus at the mad hatter's house, which has been abandoned for some time. alice and the knave find themselves stuck in quicksand (made of marshmallow), and the rabbit runs ahead to go find help. alice and the knave manage to escape, while ahead of them, the rabbit is ambushed by the red queen. he is taken back to her palace, where it turns out that he was forced by her to bring alice back to wonderland. the red queen tells the rabbit that he will be her eyes and ears in all of this, lest he be killed. the rabbit complies and sadly walks away, when the agrabahian sorcerer jafar (naveen andrews) begins to talk to her. jafar was the one who wanted alice back in wonderland. he tells the queen she is no longer needed, but she convinces him not to kill her when she reminds him that she is the only one who knows of alice's whereabouts. back at the marsh, the knave tells alice that he never wished to return to wonderland, and he would rather not continue on this journey. she takes off her heel, where it turns out she keeps three glowing gems that are actually wishes that cyrus gave her long ago. she offers one to the knave if he helps her see this adventure through. when asked why she doesn't use them to wish cyrus back, alice tells the knave that wishes are far too unpredictable, and that wishing cyrus back could likely teleport him to them as a hung corpse. the two begin to search for the hatter's house, and alice climbs a tree to get a better view of the forest, leaving her shoes with the knave. at the top, she spies the hatter's house. she is attacked by the cheshire cat (keith david), who has become much more violent since she was last in wonderland. she manages to get to ground level, noticing the knave and her shoes are gone. before she is killed, the knave returns, throwing a piece of size-altering mushroom into the cheshire cat's mouth. it shrinks to kitten size, and scurries off. the knave returns alice's wishes, alice assuring him that wishes will not work unless they are granted, not stolen. the two then make it to the hatter's house, where they find only an empty home filled with hundreds of hats. the rabbit appears again, telling them he searched all over for them. the knave tells alice it's likely all this was untrue, and cyrus is still dead. alice runs from the house, crying until she finds an amulet belonging to cyrus on the ground. she takes this as proof that he is still alive and tells the two she will not stop on her quest to find her true love. meanwhile, cyrus is held captive by jafar within a castle somewhere in wonderland. alice, the knave and the white rabbit continue their search, walking through a field in the distance.
