* Originally, there was supposed to be a sequence featuring the Jabberwock along with a song. It was never used in the final film. [[https://youtu.be/C6blExDWOq8?si=Hwcup8C_Z_sy0ui0 A demo from the late 40's was recorded.]] The vinyl noise dated from the 1940s gives an even scarier sound, along with the sketches of the Jabberwock.

** There's also the laugh itself, making a guy like [[BewareTheQuietOnes Sterling Holloway]] actually sounding a little frightening.

Uncanny Valley is IUEO now and the subjective version has been split; cleaning up misuse and ZCE in the process


** The one that tends to lean the most towards the UncannyValley is one of the umbrella birds [[InelegantBlubbering bawling streams of tears all over its coat]], all while making ''no sound at all''. Plus, being the first creature to fade away, it FREEZES mid-cry while doing so.

Fan theories, speculation, and Fridge Horror don't belong on Nightmare Fuel pages.


* There is a theory that Alice was high on drugs throughout the entire movie, which explains the many trippy imagery and constant drug references. It’s speculated that the flowerbed Alice wanders into at the beginning of the film has infected her brain with it’s supposed toxins, thus everything from Wonderland was just an illusion and she somehow made it back to the tree when the drug was taking affect and she completely passed out when she arrived at the tree. Keep in mind that Alice is a pre-teen girl who is too young to know about drugs and the effects they have on your health, so to actually know that a young girl has just been doped on toxins thoughout the movie is a chilling thought and it took at least an hour and twelve minutes for her to sober up.
** Unlikely, there are very few plants that can cause that kind of effect in an unrefined state, especially in Victorian Britain where this takes place (if it was in a rainforest somewhere, maybe...). However, it's not completely implausible, considering what was considered common medicine at the time. Cocaine and opium were common treatments for almost anything back then.

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIeW5LWGiAg The entire ending sequence]], with Alice trying to escape as Wonderland seemingly unravels around her, as she backtracks through the hedge maze, onto the beach and rejoins the Caucus Race [[MindScrew where the Walrus, Carpenter and the oysters have now appeared]] despite only appearing in Tweedledee and Tweedledum's story before, through the Tea Party where the Hatter and Hare drags her into a giant cup of tea that bottoms out into the Pool of Tears. There she finds the Caterpillar, floating on his mushroom. After she begs for help, he just blows smoke in her face, which suddenly transforms into a long swirling vortex. Alice runs through it, pursued by the Queen and seemingly all of Wonderland. She finally returns to the Doorknob, running towards it in slow motion (and the door is suddenly no longer attached to a wall), only for the Doorknob to tell her he's still locked, and she's trapped. When she begs him that she ''has'' to get out... he tells her she already IS out.

* The Cheshire Cat's CutSong, "I'm Odd," sounds downright ''sinister.''

to:

* The Cheshire Cat's CutSong, "I'm Odd," sounds downright ''sinister.'''' Mainly because it's about the Cheshire Cat reveling in his own madness.
