Alice breaks off two pieces and nibbles them alternately (first growing very large and unintentionally aggravating a Nesting Mother Bird, who accuses Alice of being a "serpent", then shrinking very small). The flowers at first befriend Alice, but then mistake her for a weed and angrily drive her out of the flowerbed before she can "take root." She engages a hookah-smoking caterpillar who turns into a butterfly, though not before giving her cryptic advice about the mushroom she is sitting on. The Dodo tries to help by first sending Bill the Lizard Chimney Sweep down the chimney, and then setting the house on fire but Alice eats a carrot from the garden and shrinks down to three inches.Īlice sings "All in the Golden Afternoon" with a garden of talking flowers, who originally appeared in Chapter 3 of Through the Looking-GlassAlice chases after the Rabbit again, and in another example of a vignette borrowed from Through the Looking-Glass, she finds herself in a garden of talking flowers and strange insects. After sneaking away to the White Rabbit's house, Alice is at first mistaken by him for his maidservant and then grows to such a large size that she gets stuck inside the house. Alice meets Tweedledum and Tweedledee, two fat twin brothers who recite "The Walrus and the Carpenter", in a sequence that first appeared in Through the Looking-Glass. On shore, a Dodo bird leads a group of animals in a futile caucus-race to get dry. Both she and the bottle drift through the doorknob's keyhole mouth and out to a sea made from Alice's tears. She becomes so small that she drops inside the bottle.

The Doorknob points out that the "Drink me" bottle still has some fluid left inside, so she finishes the last drop. She begins to cry her massive tears flood the room. The Doorknob directs her to a cookie marked "Eat me." The cookie makes her grow so large that her head hits the ceiling. The door is locked, and the key appears on the table, which she can not reach. The Doorknob suggests Alice drink from a bottle marked "Drink me." The contents shrink her to a tiny fraction of her original size. At the bottom, she follows the Rabbit into a large chamber-like hall, but he escapes through a tiny door. She and Dinah follow him into a rabbit hole, where Alice suddenly falls down into a deep well, leaving Dinah behind. Alice sees a White Rabbit wearing a waistcoat and carrying a large pocket watch. At that moment, Alice dreams of living in a world of nonsense ("A World of My Own", as she explains and sings to her little kitten Dinah). Alice's sister scolds her, gently but firmly, for her lack of attention. The original recording for the film was in the key of G major, but the jazz standard is usually played in C major as it was by both Evans and Peterson.On the bank of a tranquil river, Alice grows bored listening to her older sister read aloud from a history book about William I of England.
DISNEY ALICE IN WONDERLAND SOUNDTRACK 1951 MOVIE
Rosemary Clooney recorded the ballad with "The Unbirthday Song" which also appeared on the soundtrack to the movie, and Michael Feinstein has also recorded it along with the other songs from the movie in a medley. Evans recorded it at the Village Vanguard which featured on his 1961 album Sunday at the Village Vanguard. In his book The History of Jazz, Ted Gioia cites "Alice in Wonderland" as one of Evans's most beautiful performances, likening its "pristine beauty" to his "Waltz for Debby".
