* [[http://lukefarookhi.blogspot.com/2008/08/david-hall-and-alice-in-wonderland.html David Hall's early concept art]] for ''Disney/AliceInWonderland'' shown in various books and the DVD documentary Reflections On Alice. The Cheshire Cat has a mouth of pointy shark-like teeth and horrifically staring eyes, the baby's morph into the pig is horrific, the Mad Hatter and March Hare chase Alice with a large pair of scissors and a knife respectively, there’s a creepy dungeon complete with a few hanging corpses, Alice is about to be decapitated by the Queen of Hearts who is riding the blade, and it's all drawn in a horribly grotesquely realistic, ghastly style.

* Disneyland's original ''Disney/AliceInWonderland'' ride featured [[http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/danolson/Blog%20stuff/ALICEFIXED-1.jpg a large figure of the Cheshire Cat]] that laughed manically at riders as they rode by.

* There is a theory that Alice was high on drugs throughout the entire movie, which explains the many drippy 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.

** Not to mention the Knave of Hearts being executed, a member of the Queens entourage is her executioner, and the disturbing ending scene where the Queens castle turns into playing cards just as Alice is about to be executed. Seriously, this concept art would fit better for a horror movie.

* Originally, there was supposed to be a sequence fearing The Jabberwocky along with a song. It was never used in the final film. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFdL3QfVhnU 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.

* [[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 Tweedledums 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.
--> '''Doorknob''': [[WhamLine Oh, but you ''ARE'' outside...]]

* This mostly counts as a tearjerker, but during "Very Good Advice", everything around Alice, including, not only all the UglyCute Tulgey Wood creatures [[EverybodyCries crying along with her]], but the ENTIRE forest as well, begins fading away 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.

** Mild and funny, right? HA. Try being six years old and having a ''crippling phobia of doors''.

* As funny and cutely animated as he is, the Cheshire Cat and his general craziness can be pretty scare, particularly the way he always appears at first as nothing but [[SlasherSmile a large set of smiling teeth]].
