let’s see how deep the rabbit-hole goes
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’ll
be exploring ten pieces of trivia you
should know about Alice in Wonderland
two for the price of one kicking off our
trivia list is a factoid about the 1951
Disney classic did you know that film
combined the stories of the original
novel and its sequel through the
looking-glass
unfortunately the dragon like Jabberwock
which most people incorrectly call the
Jabberwocky
was nowhere to be seen
dear I’m sure he came this way do you
suppose he could be hiding since Disney
figured the monster would scare the
bejesus out of kids the author Charles
Lutwidge Dodgson is not just one of the
most British names we’ve ever heard it’s
also the real name of Alice author Lewis
Carroll Dodgson was a mathematics
lecturer and tutor at Christ Church
University in Oxford England but he
suffered from stammering epilepsy
partial deafness and ADHD at now my idea
as you would say it’s a wonder he ever
got this tale told but Wonderland was
his only success as a storyteller sly
reference Lewis Carroll’s 1865 novel
began with Alice wandering off from a
boring sister with her was her cat Dinah
Dana dear you think I’m grown-up don’t
you and the Kitty’s name was taken from
the song I’ve been working on the
railroad that was of course a slick
reference to the semi forced labor of
blacks and Chinese at the time so by
taking a trip down the rabbit hole Alice
was like fighting for civil rights acid
trip hey guess what Disney was
definitely not immune to book snobs with
their 1951 animated classic as with most
book to film adaptations literary fans
agonized over the many inaccuracies and
omissions in fact
Alice only became a hit in the 60s
thanks to hippies and their love of
mind-altering substances from then on
the story was associated with drug
culture and it’s no wonder really there
was a caterpillar that sits on a
mushroom smokes a pipe claimed to have
magic powers and gave lessons like a
frickin professor
Oh God I hardly know sir I came so many
times think this morning you see I do
not see pair of Downers
once Alice used the potion to get
through the small doorway into
Wonderland she met the twins Tweedledee
and Tweedledum even though they were
kind of annoying these guys seemed
harmless at first but dig a little
deeper and you got their real meaning
they represented the twin evils or if
you prefer the two sides of depression
bummer
the Cheshire Cat and the Queen of Hearts
our grinning cat friend was quite the
oddball character and we know that Lewis
Carroll was all about the deeper
meanings ever wonder what the Cheshire
cats deal was turns out he was
representing the shifting state of
Alice’s mind and sanity as he was
constantly fading in and out the Queen
of Hearts on the other hand was always
demanding the removal of heads or in
this case the end of her hallucinations
that’s why she was so judgmental towards
Alice and her behavior she condemned her
for expanding her mind which the Queen
thinks made her head too big
missing cards in Disney’s animated
classic The Queen of Hearts henchmen
were carefully animated and meticulously
tracked to make sure each card was
properly represented however all the non
heart face cards were left out
signifying that she was not playing with
a full deck well who if you catch her
drift the Tea Party the Tea Party was
another veiled substance abuse reference
the Mad Hatter and the March Hare kept
changing places in an attempt to get
clean of their alcoholism I haven’t used
my cup without a couple gown but they
quickly returned to their habits despite
their efforts to evoke change try rehab
boys look at the time the White Rabbit
was one dapper dude and he wouldn’t be
caught dead without his pocket watch of
course this represented something far
more profound the pocket watch
symbolized the last sense of accuracy
and objectivity in the world of
Wonderland
[Music]
two days flow that’s what it is so when
it was smashed apart Alice’s final link
to reality was broken along with it
causing her to become fully lost in the
fantasy mome Raths and all ten six
rounding out our trivia list is the card
that sticks out of the Mad Hatter’s hat
it read ten six you would think that you
would like to do up and this inspired
fans to mark October 6 as the silliest
day of the year Mad Hatter day but turns
out the cards meeting was pretty simple
it was the hats price tag meaning it
costs 10 shillings and sixpence enjoy
