** The Doorknob is the only one that is fairly polite to Alice during her adventure, gives her helpful advice, and at the end [[spoiler:is the one to let her know that her entire adventure is just a dream, allowing her to escape by waking up.]]

* SummonedBySobbing: At the end of the film's second act, Alice gets lost in the Tulgey Wood and cries when it seems there's no way out. As her surroundings disappear during her crying spell, the Cheshire Cat appears to offer assistance (or whatever "assistance" means in his book) by providing her with a shortcut to the palace of the Queen of Hearts.

* ChimneyEntry: Bill the Lizard is sent down the chimney of the White Rabbit's house to get an enlarged Alice. Unfortunately, he accidentally sends clouds of soot from the chimney into the house, which makes Alice let out a SneezeOfDoom that blasts Bill into the sky.
* DelayedOhCrap: Twice during the scene where Alice grows large in the White Rabbit's house.
** Bill the Lizard's reaction when encountering Alice:
--->'''Dodo''': You just [[ChimneyEntry pop down the chimney]] and haul that monster out of there.
--->'''Bill''': Righto, guv'nor. (sees Alice) Monster!?
** Dodo gets another good idea to get a giant Alice out of the house.
--->'''Dodo:''' That's it, we'll burn the house down!\\
'''White Rabbit:''' Yes, burn the house-- [[BigWhat WHAT!?]]
* DelayedReaction: This is how Alice first encounters the White Rabbit. When her cat Dinah sees him and starts meowing frantically, Alice treats it as an UnusuallyUninterestingSight...before she realizes exactly what she's saying.
-->'''Alice:''' ''(Nonchalantly)'' Oh, Dinah, it's just a rabbit with a waistcoat ''(with realization)'' and a watch?!

* MickeyMousing: The orchestral soundtrack often accentuates character movements. For example in the early scene where the White Rabbit takes a run for the rabbit hole.

Added DiffLines:
* SneezeOfDoom: While Alice is a giant and stuck in the White Rabbit's house, Dodo sends Bill [[ChimneyEntry down the chimney]] to get her out. Of course, this causes a ton of ashes to come out of the fireplace resulting in Alice sneezing, which ejects Bill out of the house.

* PragmaticAdaptation: The film is actually a combination of the original book and its sequel "Through The Looking Glass". Keeping every character from the books would basically be impossible, so the movie uses the most iconic ones from each book, while the plot itself is based off Wonderland. Tweedledee and Tweedledum, The Walrus and The Carpenter and the singing flowers are originally from ''Through the Looking-Glass''.

Most notably The Duchess, who lends some of her personality to the Queen Of Hearts, her pepper-loving cook, the Mock Turtle and the Griffin. The Jabberwock was also planned to be in the movie despite being from a poem only in Through the Looking Glass, the sequel to the Alice In Wonderland book, but was omitted, although a few lines from the Jabberwocky poem remain.

* SlidingScaleOfAdaptationModification: Type 3 (PragmaticAdaptation). The film cuts out a lot of characters from the first book to keep the length of the film reasonable, and it sandwiches in a few other elements from ''Through The Looking Glass'' as well.
