History YMMV / AdventuresInWonderland

* MemeticMutation: "Wow, O.J. Simpson! It's really you! Right here in my room!" [[labelnote: Explanation]] A line from the unaired episode "White Rabbits Can't Jump" that became a meme after [[WebVideo/{{Defunctland}} [=DefunctTV=]]] did a video on ''Adventures In Wonderland" that mentioned the missing episode. [[/labelnote]]

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In "Off the Cuffs", the Queen, the White Rabbit, Tweedledum, Tweedledee, and Alice chant, "What in Wonderland can five people do when they’re tied together like they're stuck with glue? Hey!" multiple times.

** The name "Hedda Hatter," here used for the Mad Hatter's female cousin, was first used in Creator/HannaBarbera's 1966 adaptation ''Alice in Wonderland, or What's a Nice Kid Like You Doing in a Place Like This?" for a female assistant of the Mad Hatter's, voiced by [[TheDanza her namesake]] Hedda Hopper in her last role before her death.

* FoeYayShipping: The Queen and the Duchess have a small following as a pairing among fans, both for how much they [[VitriolicBestBuds enjoy competing with each other]] and for the way they mask their rivalry with affection, which includes the [[AffectionateNickname Affectionate Nicknames]] "Duchy" and "Twinkletoes."* HilariousInHindsight:

* HardTruthAesop: The lesson Alice learns from the Queen's attempts at sculpting in "Objects d'Heart" is "Just because you enjoy doing something doesn't mean you're good at it."

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: The opening sequence alone is enough. Then again, considering what it's [[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland based on]], this should come as no surprise.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation:

* {{Tearjerker}}: Yes, the show was wacky and always ended happily, but there were a few sad moments here and there.

* WhatDoYouMeanItWasntMadeOnDrugs: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_70P4c1UVIY opening sequence]] alone is enough. Then again, considering what it's [[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland based on]], this should come as no surprise.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In "Off the Cuffs", the Queen, the White Rabbit, Tweedledum, Tweedledee, and Alice chant, "What in Wonderland can five people do when they’re tied together like they're stuck with glue? Hey!" several times.

** In "Something to Sneeze At", when the Hatter thinks he's allergic to the March Hare, they miss socializing and having tea parties together -- and so the Hare joins the Hatter's tea party via video call. It doesn't really work that well, but Alice does comment on what a brilliant way this is for the two to hang out even if they have to keep their distance -- a couple of decades before the Internet was developed enough (not to mention a [[UsefulNotes/TheCOVID19Pandemic certain pandemic]] going on) to make socializing via video chat a lot more commonplace.
** In "What Makes Rabbit Run", the Caterpillar's story is about a lion prince [[ShoutOut named]] [[Music/EltonJohn Elton]], who doesn't want to be king because he'd rather play the piano. This aired two years before the release of ''WesternAnimation/{{The Lion King|1994}}'' with its songs by Elton John.

** The Alice in the show is not the original Alice, just an American girl from the 1990's with the same name, who likes to believe or pretend she's the Alice from Alice in Wonderland. The versions of the Wonderlandians we see are her interpretations of them.
** Is Mr. Pinniped real or just the Walrus' imaginary friend? "Deface in the Crowd" seems to confirm the former, but in other episodes, it's more ambiguous. You could argue there's an elaborate SplitPersonality situation going on.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: While the musical numbers range vastly in quality, several of the songs are quite catchy. It helps that the cast features talented musical theater actors and the composers included Mark and Bob Mothersbaugh of Music/{{Devo}}.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: In "Off the Cuffs," The Queen, the White Rabbit, Tweedledum, Tweedledee, and Alice chant, "What in Wonderland can five people do when they’re tied together like they’re stuck with glue? Hey!" several times.

* CultClassic: Like many shows from the pre-NetworkDecay Creator/DisneyChannel. Its fans were overjoyed when it was finally brought to Disney+.

* FoeYayShipping: The Queen and the Duchess.

** A minor one in "Christmas in Wonderland." When the Hatter and Hare are singing about making snow with their snow machine, one line of lyrics is "We'll turn it on and [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 let it go."]] If only they had met Elsa, the special's whole storyline of "How to make it snow in Wonderland?" would have been solved then and there.

** In "The Sound and the Furry," seeing April Hare (who is deaf) kicked out of Wonderland and forced to wander alone in a strange country is painful. It's especially bad because the situation is caused by one of the misunderstandings that appears in nearly every episode of the show--but this time, the stakes are much higher.
** During "Christmas in Wonderland," Alice introduces her Wonderland friends to the "real world's" Christmas traditions. The mention of snow makes the Queen especially sad, which confuses the White Rabbit--it's never snowed in Wonderland before, so he can't imagine why the Queen would feel bad about it. She then reveals that when she was a little girl, her parents spent one Christmas in a snowy cabin; it was the happiest moment of her childhood, but she never got to experience it again because her parents preferred going to the beach for their holidays. The Queen had resigned herself to never see snow and experience that joy again, but now that Alice has brought it up, the memories have returned and are breaking her heart. The scene ends with her sitting quietly at a table, on the verge of tears, as she says that she knows it's impossible for her wish to come true.

** The Queen, of all people, becomes one in "Christmas in Wonderland," as we see how much she misses having snow at Christmas (see TearJerker above).

** In "What Makes Rabbit Run," the Caterpillar's story is about a lion prince [[ShoutOut named]] [[Creator/EltonJohn Elton]], who doesn't want to be king because he'd rather play the piano. This aired two years before the release of ''WesternAnimation/TheLionKing1994'' with its songs by Elton John.
