Alice is in an open field with her pet cat when she notices a strange white rabbit in clothes passing by. She starts to chase after him when he runs off in a hurry shouting that he was late.
She follows him into a large burrow and accidentally falls down in a rabbit hole. Her blue dress helps her descend down the rabbit hole and things start becoming strange.
As she is floating down she floats past furniture and the background begins to transition into different colors. She passes by a mirror that shows her reflection upside down and a map of the world showing upside down, hinting that she was about to enter into Wonderland.
Alice drinks a bottle to shrink down to go through the door, but she forgets the key to unlock it. She eats a cookie that makes her grow and is now too big to go through the door. Upset, she starts to cry and floods the room with her tears. She drinks the bottle to shrink again and rides the bottle through the keyhole to get into Wonderland.
Tweedledum and Tweedledee halts her search for the white rabbit with a sad tale. The tale is about the Little Oysters who were curious and lured away by a walrus and a carpenter and were eaten. They tell her there was a moral to the story, Alice replies, “Yes, if you were to happen to be an oyster” and slips away to continue looking for the white rabbit.
She encounters a garden of talking flowers who all welcome her in. However, she was chased out for her odd appearance and was led to believe that she was a weed.
Alice is stuck between multiple paths and cannot figure out where to go next. The Cheshire Cat appears and suggests her to go see the Mad Hatter and March Hare to ask where the white rabbit is. But doesn't tell her how to get to them, so she takes her own path.
She finds the Mad Hatter and March Hare and sees that they are in the middle of a tea party, celebrating an unbirthday event. They ask her what her situation is, Alice tries but, gets frustrated whenever the two interrupts her and start saying things that didn't make sense.
Alice tries to follow the white rabbit again, but decides that she wants to go home instead. She tries to leave the way she came but realizes that everything has been changed and she is now lost in the forest. Unlike the colorful scenery she had been walking through before, she is now surrounded by darkness.
Alice searches for the Queen of Hearts in hopes of finding her way back home. She walks through a grey maze and sees a couple of card soldiers painting white roses red as they have planted them by mistake, clearly scared of facing the Queen's wrath. Alice joins to help them.
The villain, Queen of Hearts enters. The background behind her is grey which makes her bright red attire stand out more. Her tall stature compared to the short king, shows how much power and authority she carries in Wonderland.
The Queen makes Alice play against her in a croquet match. The game is completely rigged in favor of the Queen. During the game, the Cheshire Cat appears and plays a prank on the Queen, framing Alice as the one who did it. This enrages the Queen, but the king prevents Alice's beheading with a trial first.
