History YMMV / AliceInWonderland1985

* NightmareFuel: The first appearance of the Jabberwock and the moments leading up to it are infamously scary for what's otherwise a very upbeat and whimsical film. The creature itself has a frightening design and it's accompanied by startling music and thunder as it suddenly appears in Alice's living room, totally destroying the jovial atmosphere of the previous segments.

---> '''Alice:''' [[ShutUpHannibal I think you're a mean, old cat!]]

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: The Caterpillar is introduced coughing from the smoke of his hookah. Just five years later, Creator/SammyDavisJr died of throat cancer, most likely caused by his heavy smoking habit.

* HilariousInHindsight: Creator/RoddyMcDowell plays the March Hare here. [[WesternAnimation/BatmanTheAnimatedSeries A few years later]], he'd be playing the Mad Hatter as well (or at least a criminal inspired by and using his name).

* NarmCharm: Too theatrical looking, but it works. Natalie Gregory's awesome acting manages to sustain the silly costumes.

** The White Queen's transformation into a sheep may also count, since the next time Alice sees her she's human again and neither of them ever brings the bizarre scene up again.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The Caterpillar's song "You Are Old Father William" is a textbook example of this; he is briefly transformed into a human and Alice is suddenly dressed as a boy while they dance to the song. After the song, their conversation continues as if nothing happened. Interestingly though, the song comes straight from the book word for word unlike most of the other songs.
