* RetroactiveRecognition:

to:

* RetroactiveRecognition:SpecialEffectsFailure: The White Rabbit is clearly sped up in many shots, moving around in a wild, janky manner that makes it look like the puppet is breaking down.


Added DiffLines:

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: The film boasts some excellent practical effects and puppetry.
** Of special note is the Gryphon, who is not only a ''very'' convincing puppet, but also interacts directly with the tiny Mock Turtle. You might just assume the puppet was gigantic.
** The Mad Hatter's enlarged head is absolutely seamless, turning Martin Short into a pitch perfect recreation of John Tenniel's classic illustrations.

** The vast majority say that the film is the best and most faithful adaptation to date, even over the Disney film in the former respect. Other factions range from mixed opinions (it should have been either more faithful or cut shorter) to the complete negative (it's boring and rather bland).

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


* UncannyValley: Several of the characters, but the Duchess' baby is particularly disturbing.
** The March Hare also, there are reports that the costume scared Creator/TinaMajorino, the actress who played Alice, because of it's asymmetrical eyes.

* OlderThanTheyThink: This isn't the first time Alice has had brown hair and worn a yellow dress. [[https://eyesonalice.wordpress.com/2016/07/04/maria-louise-kirk/ Maria Louise Kirk's illustrations from 1904]] portrayed her with that color combination too. Creator/BrookShields also played a brunette, yellow-clad Alice in her guest appearance on ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' in 1980.

** The Gryphon and the Mock Turtle were this for the novel already, but the versions of them in this movie have to be the most fondly remembered of the adaptations made so far. Having Creator/GeneWilder as the actor playing the Mock Turtle also helps with this status, especially since this was one of Gene's final performances before he retired.
