in the disney animated feature "alice in wonderland", the queen of hearts appears, as alice puts it in a moment of temper, as "a fat, pompous, bad tempered old tyrant". the character was voiced by verna felton. she is portrayed as a haughty sadist, who enjoys decapitating anyone who merely annoys her. her presence is all the more striking because of how tiny her husband the king is (he barely comes up to her knee). similar to the book, alice meets three cards painting the roses red, since they planted white roses by mistake. when the queen arrives, she orders those three cards beheaded, then turns her attention to alice. refusing to answer her questions with a presumption that only she can ask them, she quickly ropes her into a game of croquet. the game ends with the queen tripping herself over, due to the cheshire cat's mischievous antics. the queen angrily blames alice for it, but before she can give the order, the king suggests holding a trial for alice. the queen, grudgingly, but reasonably, agrees. the queen calls the march hare, the dormouse, and the mad hatter to witness, who hold an unbirthday party for her and cheer her up considerably. during the party, the cheshire cat reappears and upsets the dormouse. the frightened dormouse runs all over, and in an attempt to crush the dormouse, the king of hearts accidentally hits the queen on the head with the gavel, which is hastily passed into the march hare's hands, then the hatter's, and finally alice's. the queen, of course, blames alice for it and is going to have her beheaded. but alice eats mushrooms she had procured earlier, which make her grow bigger. although rule no. 42 says that anyone more than a mile high must leave the court immediately, alice feels free to call the queen a "fat, pompous, bad tempered old tyrant". unfortunately, she subsequently shrinks down to her normal size, but flees and is able to escape.
