The caterpillar is implied to represent her father, which is probably why he was named "Absalom". There's a nod to Hamish's mother representing the Queen of Hearts, and some have seen parallels between the Knave and Alice's sister's fiance.

* BrokenAesop: All the best people are mad, and it doesn't matter what others think. But this message is then thrown out the window when Alice declares that her crazy aunt needs to seek help for her overactive imagination.
** As said in ArbitrarySkepticism, the movie shows that there is a line between mad/imaginative and delusional. Her aunt is clearly delusional/lonely/heartbroken and her belief in the prince is clearly a spoof of a fairy tale. Alice only wanted to help her aunt get over it, not say she should forget the dream. At no point did Alice say she should "forget imagination."
** The ArrangedMarriage plot at the beginning of the film sets up the aesop that forcing someone to walk lock-step with social expectations crushes a person's individuality and happiness. Then Alice goes to Underland where she is told that she must slay the Jabberwock BecauseDestinySaysSo ... and she does, even though there are obvious parallels between this destiny and the one back in England. She then goes back home, breaks away from her engagement and starts her own career. So which is it, then - ScrewDestiny or follow it to the letter?

** So it is written, so '''''will''''' it be done.

She did ''try'' to ScrewDestiny for a while, and even showed, eventually, that this was less GenreBlindness and more backbone (OffTheRails, as it were). But even ''that'' turned out to be part of the big prediction.

** There is an interesting zigzagging of this trope in the movie, what with Alice fleeing a forced marriage into Wonderland where she runs into another forced destiny, tries to screw it but still plays by it, carries out her destiny in Wonderland, but still manages to ScrewDestiny in England!
*** Not quite - Despite the prophecy, Alice had the choice to say no at the end, same as the acceptance of marriage was ultimately her choice as well.

No, he doesn't die, but the look on his face as Alice's chooses to leave send sends him into near [[TheWoobie Woobie]] territory]]. It doesn't hurt that [[spoiler:Alice said she knew the way back, implying that they could easily meet again someday]].

* DreamApocalypse: This is played with a little, despite the fact that this isn't a dream, despite Alice's constant insistance that it is. The Hatter mentions to Alice in a rather serious tone (as opposed to his usual one) that if she ''is'' dreaming all this, then he must not really exist (and she agrees with him). However, he doesn't seem ''too'' concerned about it; he quickly returns to his jovial attitude, saying that she must be a little crazy to have imagined someone like him. (Again, she doesn' deny it.)

*** It's also part of AuthorAppeal: Creator/TimBurton always draws things with huge eyes ([[WesternAnimation/TheNightmareBeforeChristmas Jack Skellington]], anyone?), so the effects team decided to follow it.
** While it isn't a direct use of this trope, one of the Hatter's pupils is visibly more dilated than the other--a sign of ''severe'' head trauma. A concussion would certainly explain his erratic emotions and babbling. WordOfGod has confirmed this.
*** That, and his trade is slowly killing him thanks to ''mercury vapor''.

This observation has nothing to do with the trope it\'s listed under, and it just looks like general criticism.

** Johnny Depp as The Mad Hatter was just him playing his typical weirdo roles. It would've been nice if he was cast as a different character and have someone else play The Mad Hatter.
