14
15A curious and imaginative young girl and the protagonist of the movie.
16----
17* AdaptationalIntelligence: In the original book, she tries several times to recite poems but always gets every line wrong. In the movie, she starts to recite "How Doth the Little Busy Bee" correctly, but the Caterpillar interrupts her to do the wrong version from the book instead. In all fairness, her getting the poems wrong in the book is implied to be caused by the strangeness of Wonderland muddling her mind, not something she normally does.
18* [[AdaptationalNiceGuy Adaptational Nice Girl]]: When it comes to Bill the lizard. In the original book, she intentionally kicks him out of the chimney. In the film, she accidentally sneezes him out and feels sorry for him.
19-->'''Dodo:''' Well, there goes Bill.\
20'''Alice:''' ''[looking up at the sky]'' Poor Bill.
21* AgeLift: The original book series has Alice state her age as seven years old. However, the animated film adaptations tend to lift her age to 10-12, as evidenced by the physical maturity level contrasts between her book and animated counterparts, as well as her original voice actress being a then-12-year-old girl.
22* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: Due to her sizeshifting, she does this twice to the denizens of Wonderland.
23* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Okay, Alice. You wanted a world where everything is nonsense. What do you think of it?
24* BreakTheCutie: She tearfully sings "Very Good Advice" when she feels lost and thinks she will never get back home. By the end of the song, she's crying even harder.
25* ButtMonkey: {{Troll}}ed by nearly everything and everyone Wonderland can throw at her.
26* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Downplayed, especially compared to the book. In Wonderland, she's of course the OnlySaneWoman -- and (perhaps due to her AgeLift) she's less obviously loopy than her book counterpart, as most of her off-the-wall comments and bizarre ideas have been cut. But even this incarnation of Alice will occasionally display a certain eccentric line of thought, focus on the wrong thing in the wrong situation, or get downright nonsensical. In the real world she's probably considered a bit odd... not to mention, considering all events of the movie [[AllJustADream took place in one of her dreams]]... that's one disturbed kid.
27* ConstantlyCurious: In the beginning, as she chases a white rabbit when she finds out he can walk and talk like a human.
28* DamselOutOfDistress: When she cries a river after being scared she would be trapped in Wonderland, she saves herself by luckily falling into a bottle. Then she avoids being set on fire by shrinking. She then escapes the Queen of Hearts by running away and waking up.
29* DubNameChange:
30** In Spanish, her name is Alicia.
31** In Finnish, she is known as Liisa.
32** She is called Liza in Albanian.
33* DullSurprise: Several of her reactions throughout the film are hilariously underwhelmed; for example, when she falls down the rabbit hole and calmly calls goodbye to her cat. Justified, since she's dreaming.
34* GoAmongMadPeople: Discussed in the opposite when Alice says that she doesn't "want to go among mad people!"
35* GratuitousPrincess: Isn't actually a princess, but she's a Princess of Heart in the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series.
36* FoolishSiblingResponsibleSibling: The Foolish to her sister's Responsible. She doesn't pay attention to her sister's lessons and wants to live in her own world.
37* HairOfGoldHeartOfGold: She's a kind girl with light blonde hair.
38* HartmanHips: The film emphasizes her having this body type when she enters the rabbit hole at the beginning. The top half of her body easily fits in, but she gets stuck and struggles to get through once she reaches her hips due to her butt being too big. Considering how mature Alice's personality is, giving her such a body type may have been a visual way to emphasize that.
39* HeroicSelfDeprecation: During the song "Very Good Advice" she feels worthless, claiming she never learns and is only able to bring trouble on herself.
40* IAmVeryBritish: Alice is an English girl (though it's not known ''where'' in England she lives), and thus speaks with a very posh accent.
41* IncredibleShrinkingMan: Again as a result of Wonderland's size shifting. She spends a large early part of the film insect sized and talking to the life below.
42* InkSuitActor: Kathryn Beaumont and Alice look(ed) alike.
43* InnocentBlueEyes: They represent her youthful innocence, curiosity, and imagination.
44* InopportuneVoiceCracking: When Alice attempts to hit a high note when she's singing "All In a Golden Afternoon", her voice cracks, and she can't go on. Apparently, it was an improvised moment for that scene.
45* {{Kid Hero}}ine: Alice is about 10 years old for her adventure through Wonderland as the story's protagonist.
46* KiddieKid: In ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'', Alice is 7 years old, so her personality makes sense. Most adaptations, including Disney's ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland'', {{age lift}} her to 10-12, so in these versions her personality comes off as slightly immature for her age. It makes more sense for a 7-year-old to be utterly bored by books without "pictures or conversations," or to cry a big pool of tears when she finds herself grown into a giant.
47* KindheartedCatLover: She adores her cat Dinah. Her initial reaction to meeting the Cheshire Cat enforces this trope.
48* LittleMissSnarker: Again, it's downplayed compared to the book, but she will often have a few choice comments in in reaction to the insanity around her.
49-->'''Queen of Hearts:''' That's the most important piece of evidence we've heard yet. '''WRITE THAT DOWN!!'''\
50'''Jury:''' Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, twinkle...\
51'''Alice:''' Twinkle, twinkle. What next?
52* LoonWithAHeartOfGold: The dream she had implies that she's a little off in her own world, but she's a real gentle girl.
53* MarilynManeuver: As she descends slowly through the Rabbit Hole, she floats towards a narrower, chimney-like section. She pushes on her skirt to fit through, causing her dress to fly up around her as she falls through the bottleneck, before her dress balloons out as a parachute again.
54* ModestyShorts: She wears knee-length pantalettes under her dress, and that's a good thing with all the size changing she does along with a few times she unintentionally exposes them for the viewers.
55* MsImagination: "If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense..."
56* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: Her speech to the Queen of Hearts is negated because she's shrinking down while giving it.
57* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]: Bit of an [[CloudCuckoolander oddball]], but Alice is still a sweet gal.
58* OnlySaneWoman: At least compared to the denizens of Wonderland that aren't the White Rabbit, she is more rational.
59* ParachutePetticoat: As she falls down the rabbit hole, her blue dress balloons up like a parachute and catches some air, slowing her descent and allowing her to observe her surroundings and ruminate about her situation.
60* PinballProtagonist: Wonderland kind of keeps throwing insane situations at her, and she must manage to live through all of it.
61* PluckyGirl: She's not afraid to speak her mind!
62* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: She gives a short and to the point one to the Queen of Hearts after she is accused and upsizes herself into a giantess.
63-->'''Alice:''' Your Majesty, indeed. Why you’re not a queen! You’re just [[PunctuatedForEmphasis a…fat…pompous…]]bad tempered old tyrant!
64* SizeShifter: Constantly, because of all kinds of magic substances she keeps encountering.
65* SignatureHeadgear: Her black hairband, which has become so strongly associated with her that she's responsible for hairbands being referred to as "Alice bands".
66* SkewedPriorities: Obsessed with catching up with the white rabbit, even as her life becomes more threatened or she undergoes bizarre situations such as being shrunk. She has a reality check later however, and just wants to get home.
67* SophisticatedAsHell: More in terms of maturity than in being crude. In the beginning of the film, Alice is extremely childish and immature but speaks in a proper and sophisticated way that makes her sound more sensible than she actually is. It slowly becomes more genuine as she becomes the OnlySaneWoman to Wonderland's crazier and crazier residents.
68* TookALevelInBadass: Just look at her telling the [[AxCrazy Queen]] [[BigBad of]] [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Hearts]] off.
69* TrueBlueFemininity: The only outfit she's seen wearing is her blue dress, which is reflected in her proto-feminine behavior in Wonderland.
70* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Often reacts to the bizarre events of Wonderland with mild perplexity.
71* YoungerThanTheyLook: She looks more like a proper Franchise/DisneyPrincess than a 10-year-old girl. Maybe that's why she's one of the [[Franchise/KingdomHearts Princesses of Heart]]?

76[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/91e626c65abdc1ae93cf7210430918c3.jpg]]

84
85The neurotic rabbit that Alice [[FollowTheWhiteRabbit is following throughout the movie]] and the reason she gets stuck in Wonderland in the first place.
86----
87* BarefootCartoonAnimal: He's elegantly dressed, wears glasses and even carries an umbrella, but he doesn't wear any shoes.
88* BreakTheCutie: Thanks to the Mad Hatter and March Hare, his watch--an unbirthday present--was destroyed at the tea party scene.
89* ButtMonkey: Alice (accidentally) demolishes his house, the Dodo ruins all his furniture, and that's before the Mad Hatter gets hold of his watch.
90* CharacterCatchphrase: "I'm late!"
91* FollowTheWhiteRabbit: Alice does this to him for the first half of the movie.
92* IconicItem: His watch.
93* ItWasAGift: His watch was an unbirthday present.
94* MinionWithAnFInEvil: He's not a particularly antagonistic character but later in the movie he's seen working for the Queen.
95* NervousWreck: Anxiety is his main personality trait. Of course, his worries about being late could be seen as {{Foreshadowing}} that he serves the Queen and he's panicky about [[DisproportionateRetribution what she might]] [[OffWithHisHead do to him]]. In the Polish dub it's actually made far more clear; His very first words are "Skrzyczy mnie królowa! Późno już!" which translates to "The Queen will yell at me! It's late already!".
96* OnlySaneMan: Almost as much as Alice. And like Alice, [[ButtMonkey it doesn't do him any good]]. Not that he doesn't have his oddball moments. For instance:
97* SkewedPriorities: The biggest concern he has about butter being spread all over the inside of his pocketwatch is the possibility of crumbs getting into it.
98* WaistcoatOfStyle: Complete with big gold pocketwatch on a chain.
99* WhiteBunny: The UrExample and trope namer for FollowTheWhiteRabbit.

109
110A sentient doorknob.
111----
112* AnimateInanimateObject: A sentient, talking doorknob. Downplayed in that he can't move around, since he's still just a part of an inanimate door.
113* CanonForeigner: The only character ''not'' to be taken from the original stories.
114* ChekhovsGunman: He appeared in the beginning of the movie, serving as the way into Wonderland. The Doorknob appears again in the film's climax where he serves as the exit from Wonderland. [[spoiler: He also reveals to Alice that she's already out of Wonderland by showing her sleeping form behind him.]]
115* CoolGate: Has an interdimensional portal inside him in ''Franchise/KingdomHearts''.
116%%* DeadpanSnarker
117* HeavySleeper: Especially in the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series, where he only cares about sleeping.
118* InnocentlyInsensitive: As helpful as he is, him cracking jokes when Alice becomes too big to go anywhere can come off as this.
119* NiceGuy: Probably the only one who's even ''remotely'' helpful to Alice in the whole movie.

133
134A minor character from the movie, though he has a bigger role than his book counterpart and is merged with another character, Pat the Gardener.
135----
136* AscendedExtra: To some degree.
137* BigFun: A cheerful, plump dodo bird.
138* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The first of the many crazy characters that appear in the film.
139* CompositeCharacter: With Pat from the book.
140* DoofyDodo: Though he's not so much stupid as he is subject to the bizarre leaps of logic of all Wonderland residents.
141* FeatherFingers: To the point that it actually ''hurts him'' when one of them gets burned.
142* HalfDressedCartoonAnimal: He doesn't wear shoes or pants.
143* {{Keet}}: And a suitably avian one too!
144* LargeHam: Seeing a pattern developing here?
145* SpeciesSurname: A dodo bird called Mr. Dodo.
146* TalkLikeAPirate: Downplayed, he likes to use nautical terms in his first appearance.
147%%* ToothyBird
148* WellIntentionedExtremist: PlayedForLaughs when he tries to burn the White Rabbit's house down to get rid of "the monster" (actually a ridiculously huge Alice).

158
159Two identical fat brothers and minor characters of the movie.
160----
161* {{Acrofatic}}: Both of them jump and make acrobatics as if they were human balloons or air horns (even making honk sounds while they're at it).
162* BoisterousBruiser: Both are fat, loud, and always scrapping for a fight.
163* CreepyTwins: Even though they are playful, there's something really off-putting about them.
164* LargeHam: Everyone here qualifies.
165* SingleMindedTwins: The two have pretty much the same personality.
166* TheStoryteller: They tell Alice the story of the carpenter and the walrus.
167* ThoseTwoGuys: Those two twins, actually.
168* TricksterTwins: They act mischievous and annoying towards Alice on purpose.
169* TwinBanter: Often speaking at the same time.
170* VagueAge: They dress and act like children, but their voices are adult men's and their heads are bald under their caps.
171* VocalDissonance: There are moments where they appear to be speaking together, but only one voice is heard.

174[[folder:The Walrus]]
175[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alice_disneyscreencaps.png]]
176
177The leader of the duo in "The Walrus and The Carpenter" story.
178----
179* AdaptationalVillainy: While neither he nor the Carpenter were particularly good people in the original poem, he was much more remorseful in the poem. Here, however, he's depicted as an arrogant, manipulative, greedy, evil aristocrat. Also, in the poem, the Walrus ate more oysters than the Carpenter, but here, he doesn't leave ''any'' oysters for the Carpenter to eat.
180* AteItAll: The Walrus tricks the Carpenter into going into the kitchen for some bread. When the Carpenter returns to the dining room, he discovers that the Walrus has eaten all of the oysters.
181* CharacterCatchphrase: "The time has come!"
182* DirtyCoward: Despite being larger than the Carpenter, and manhandling him effortlessly earlier on, the Walrus still runs away from him when the Carpenter finds out his partner cheated him out of his food.
183* FatAndSkinny: The Fat to The Carpenter's Skinny.
184* FatBastard: A very fat and very greedy con artist.
185* ImpactSilhouette: Leaves one in the front door of the shack-like restaurant in his haste to flee the angry Carpenter.
186* NoNameGiven: Only known as "The Walrus".
187* OhCrapSmile: When faced with the enraged Carpenter.
188* SluggishSeal: The Walrus panics when the Carpenter suggests sweeping the beach clean, because he doesn't want to do the work. He also manipulates the Carpenter into building a restaurant and preparing a sauce, under the impression that he and the Walrus are going to eat oysters together. However, while the Carpenter is busy, the Walrus eats all the oysters himself.
189* VillainOfAnotherStory: He never meets Alice because he's just part of a story told by Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum.
190* VillainousGlutton: He devours cute little sentient oysters.
191* WilyWalrus: He takes all the oysters for himself instead of sharing with the Carpenter, like he did in the poem. Also, this movie portrays the oysters as youngsters, making the Walrus seem [[WouldHurtAChild even more monstrous]]!

194[[folder:The Carpenter]]
195[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alice_disneyscreencaps_com_2005.jpg]]
196
197The Walrus's sidekick.
198----
199* BewareTheSillyOnes: He may be short and doopy-looking, but the angry expression on his face when he finds out the Walrus didn't leave him any oysters is so unnerving that the Walrus runs for it.
200* EvilRedhead: He's a redhead and in cahoots with the Walrus to eat oyster children.
201* FatAndSkinny: The Skinny to the Walrus's FatBastard.
202* FieryRedhead: He is a redhead and he angrily chases the Walrus out of his shabbily, hastily built restaurant for eating all the oysters.
203* NoNameGiven: Only known as "The Carpenter".

207[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/profile___curious_oysters.jpg]]
208
209A family of young oysters and their mother.
210----
211* EatenAlive: The way they get eaten by the Walrus.
212* OnlySaneWoman: Mother Oyster. She avoids death because of it.
213* OutlivingOnesOffspring: One wonders how Mother Oyster will react when she learns her children have been eaten. Though considering that they appear at the end, she might have nothing to worry about.
214* TooDumbToLive: No prizes for guessing what the oysters not taking their mother's advice to heart about staying in the sea led to.
215* UnexplainedRecovery: The young oysters appear at the end running around the rock Mr. Dodo is standing on with the other characters. However, as every character in Wonderland are all ultimately revealed as figments of Alice's dream anyway, it's probably justified [[note]]as in being mere figments meant they were only as alive or dead as one imagined them to be[[/note]].

218[[folder:The Flowers]]
219[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/alice_disneyscreencapscom_3199.jpg]]
220!!!'''Voiced by''': Doris Lloyd (Rose), Norma Zimmer (White Rose)\
221
222A group of sentient (and singing) flowers.
223----
224* AdaptationalJerkass: DoubleSubverted. In the source material, the flowers are just petty to Alice. Here, they invite Alice to hear them sing, accuse her of being a weed and chase her away from their bed.
225* AlphaBitch: They look down on Alice because she isn't a flower like them, calling her "nothing but a common mobile vulgaris" and a "weed".
226* BeautyIsBad: Beautiful flowers on the outside, but not that nice at all.
227* BitchInSheepsClothing: They initially appear to be rather friendly, singing a lighthearted and happy song about themselves, but when Alice tells them she's not a flower, they change attitude and start being openly mean to her.
228* EnfantTerrible: When Alice gets shoved into the pansies, they all yell "We don’t want weeds in our bed!" and shove Alice back on her feet.
229* EvilAllAlong: They're mainly xenophobic towards anyone who isn't a flower, and might've become violent to Alice had she not ran away.
230* FantasticRacism: The flowers are very nice and accommodating to Alice until they discover she is not a flower. Then they become hostile, having decided that if she is not a flower, she must be a weed.
231* FoulFlower: They quickly reveal themselves to be a bigoted and judgmental lot when they suspect Alice of being a weed.
232* {{Jerkass}}: They're really quite rude to Alice, especially Iris.
233* TokenGoodTeammate: The little rose bud definitely qualifies.
234-->'''Daisy''': Hahaha! Just look at those stems!\
235'''Iris''': Rather scrawny, I’d say.\
236'''Rose bud''': I think she’s pretty!\
237'''Rose''': Quiet, bud!
238* WhenTreesAttack: Flowers in this case, going rogue against Alice whom they consider her a weed. Justified, considering they're nearly the size of trees to Alice.

248
249A blue insect who smokes a hookah.
250----
251* AdaptationalJerkass: Like the Cheshire Cat, he's more of a {{Jerkass}} in the Disney movie than in the book.
252* BerserkButton: He got really angry over Alice saying that three inches in height is nothing. Taking offence as he is just as tall, yelling that his height is ideal, and literally puffing out.
253* BlowingSmokeRings: Or in this case, letters. And a few other illustrations.
254* CharacterCatchphrase: "Who are you?"
255* HypocriticalHumor: He complains about Alice's impatience and temper with him. Just a moment later, he gets angry at Alice for mocking his height and then loses patience when Alice keeps asking what he means (in this case, the mushrooms that allow one to grow).
256* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Like in the book, though the jerk part is slightly more pronounced--he's haughty, impatient and short tempered, but he does give Alice helpful advice.
257* LargeHam: He isn't as loud as most of the other characters but he still hams up his questions with emphasis on the letters.
258* MasterOfIllusion: Can create images with the smoke from his hookah.
259* TheNapoleon: He's only three inches high, and he snaps at Alice when she accidentally insults his height.
260* {{Pride}}: He takes pride in his three inch height.
261* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "WHO. ARE. YOU?"
262* SecondFaceSmoke: Tends to exhale his smoke into Alice's face too frequenly.
263* SmokingIsCool: Smokes a hookah, just like the book.
264* SpeciesSurname: A caterpillar called Mr. Caterpillar.
265* SuddenlyShouting:

277'''Voiced in Japan by''': Tokio Seki\
278
279A mysterious pink and purple striped cat with a devious, mischievous personality.
280----
281* AdaptationalJerkass: The book version, despite his oddness, was helpful. While not malicious outright, the film's version serves more as a {{Troll}} victimizing Alice and exacerbating her situation. His portrayal in the ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' series is mainly neutral--in fact, in the manga of the first game, Maleficent offers him a place in her council of villains, and he declines. He does help Sora with proving Alice's innocence, but later on sends a Trickster to attack him (Though he may have been giving a quick warning before it arrived). He's at his worst in the manga adaptation for ''Manga/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2'', where he [[spoiler:throws a hedgehog at the Queen of Hearts and frames Roxas for it]].
282* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Seems like some people at Disney thought he was ''too'' much of a {{Jerkass}} and in one 1975 novelization of the movie he's back to being the friendliest and most helpful Wonderlander. While he still get Alice into trouble at the croquet game, it's unintentional on his part; he lets everyone see that he's the one who's pranking the Queen, leading to a variation of the classic "can you even behead someone who doesn't have a body" argument from the book. It's only when the Cheshire Cat proves impossible to kill that the Queen decides to target Alice instead. At the trial, the Cat redeems himself with a pseudo-BigDamnHeroes; instead of showing up to make things worse for Alice at the trial, he (or rather his smile) shows up to distract the Queen with a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, allowing Alice to escape in the confusion.
283-->'''Cat:''' No point in talking to me, Queenie. I'm just a grin; I don't have any ears, so I can't hear a word you're saying.\
284'''Queen:''' Why are you even talking to me if you can't even hear what I'm saying?!\
285'''Cat:''' Isn't that what you do all the time? Talk, talk, talk, never listen.\
286'''Queen:''' I'm Her Majesty the Queen! I will not be spoken to like that, not by a little girl and certainly not by a ''grin!'' Guards! Off with this grin's head!\
287'''King:''' Errrr... Dear? I already told you...\
288'''Queen:''' ''What'' did you already tell me?!\
289'''King:''' You can't kill a grin! And the executioner says he's too old to learn how!\
290'''Cat:''' Too bad, Queenie. You're just going to have to listen to me.\
291'''Queen:''' And who are you even addressing, monster?! I will not be referred to as "you"! You are to call me ''Your Majesty!''\
292'''Cat:''' And even with all that, the one I'm addressing is ''you...'' the only monster here.
293** In later appearances in other stories and spin-offs, he's been softened up a bit and is more of a BlueAndOrangeMorality type.
294* AmazingTechnicolorWildlife: This adaptation is probably the one that started this for other adaptations. In the colored version of the original book, he looked like a bigger version of an ordinary brown cat.
295* CatsAreMagic: He can disappear and reappear at will.
296* CatsAreMean: He gives Alice horrible advice on who to ask for help, gets her in trouble with the queen constantly, and causes a big chase scene at the end with everyone in Wonderland after Alice.
297* CatsAreSnarkers: He comes across as snarky in a smug way when he's trolling Alice.
298* CharacterCatchphrase: He sings the first part of ''Literature/{{Jabberwocky}}'' almost every time he appears, but he's particularly fond of starting and finishing conversations with ''"And the mome raths outgrabe..."''
299* CheshireCatGrin: The TropeNamer. The Cheshire smiles an unsettling and unnerving wide toothy smile all the time.
300* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: "Almost everyone is mad here. Ha... ha ha ha ha ha! You may have noticed that I’m not all there myself.... "
301* CuteAndPsycho: While he does seem to be a very endearing, likable and funny character, the Cheshire Cat and his general craziness can be pretty creepy, especially with his sadistic need to screw with Alice by getting her in trouble with the queen.
302* FalseFriend: He acts friendly to Alice but is not very helpful, and in the final act he outright causes the problems to put Alice in the verge of losing her head.
303* FatBastard: He seems to delight in getting Alice into trouble with the Queen. Whether Alice is actually the intended target of his mischief or he simply enjoys angering the Queen is not made clear.
304* IdioticPartnerConfession:
305-->'''Alice''': Now as for you, Your Majesty... ''*starts shrinking*'' "Your Majesty," indeed! Why, you're not a queen! You're just a fat, pompous, bad-tempered old -- ''*finally realizes she has shrunk down to normal size and is smaller than the Queen*'' -- tyrant.\
306'''Queen of Hearts''': ''*smiling dangerously*'' And what were you saying, my dear?\
307'''Cheshire Cat''': ''*suddenly appears*'' Well, she simply said you're a fat, pompous, bad-tempered old tyrant! ''*chuckles and disappears again*''
308* ItAmusedMe: His whole motive for angering the Queen? "It's loads of fun."
309* {{Jerkass}}: In the movie, at least. While in his first two appearances he appears to be quite friendly and not overly malicious, in the later parts of the film he seems to go out of his way to get Alice into trouble, for no good reason.
310* KickTheDog: After letting Alice take the blame for his pranks against the Queen, he vanishes, only to return at the end of Alice's trial, after Alice's failed attempt to stand up for herself, to make sure things go as bad as possible for her.
311* AKindOfOne: Introduces himself as ''a'' Cheshire Cat
312%%* LiteralistSnarking: Does this a lot.
313* MysteriousPurple: The Cheshire Cat is a mischievous and mysterious [[CatsAreMagic magical cat]]. He appears quite literally out of thin air to either {{Troll}} or occassionally help Alice. Whether or not he has good intentions towards Alice is unclear: he intentionally lets Alice take the blame for his pranks, which puts her at risk of being ''beheaded'', only to [[spoiler:show up later to confess and provide a way for Alice to escape]]. Naturally, he is pink and purple striped all over, combining this trope with PsychoPink.
314* PerpetualSmiler: Right on par with his book counterpart, he is never seen without a smile.
315* RealityWarper: Moreso here than in the original book.
316%%* TeleportersAndTransporters
317* {{Troll}}: Best summed up in the following exchange with Alice:
318-->'''Cheshire Cat:''' Oh, and by the way. If you'd really like to know, he went that way.\
319'''Alice:''' Who did?\
320'''Cheshire Cat:''' The White Rabbit.\
321'''Alice:''' He did?\
322'''Cheshire Cat:''' He did what?\
323'''Alice:''' Went that way.\
324'''Cheshire Cat:''' Who did?\
325'''Alice:''' ''[getting frustrated]'' The white Rabbit!\
326'''Cheshire Cat:''' ''What rabbit?''\
327'''Alice:''' But didn't you just say...[[RageQuit oh dear]]!
328* VisualPun: Is fond of making these.
329-->'''Cheshire Cat''' (while his head is off his body and he's standing atop it like a circus ball): Can you stand on your head?

428
429The main antagonist, she is the despotic ruler of Wonderland.
430----
431* AdaptationalBadass: In the book, her calls for beheadings had no actual consequences, as the King secretly pardoned all her intended victims. Here, she really does have the power to get people killed on a whim.
432* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Her appearance in the comic "Walt Disney's Unbirthday Party" depicts her as much more pleasant and friendly (albeit still somewhat hot-tempered) than her appearance in the movie.
433* AdaptationalVillainy: In the original book, she still has her famous temper and is just as prone to sentencing beheadings, but she's not openly antagonistic to Alice and in fact treats her with kindness from time to time; furthermore, the King is quick to pardon anyone she tries to kill, and her people largely shrug off her threats as empty shouting. The film, by contrast, makes her the closest thing the plot has to a villain, given that she seems to actively want Alice dead; her subjects are also shown to be genuinely terrified of her and go out of their way to help her cheat in the croquet game because she ''has'' to win. Other adaptations of the Disney story will have her on the "villain" side, too.
434* AdiposeRex: The fat Queen of Hearts is a female example.
435* AllCrimesAreEqual: Her answer to any perceived offense is to order the perpetrator's beheading.
436* AxCrazy: She is too eager to chop of heads for any infraction. From lying to her, to failing to cheat on her behalf.
437* TheCaligula: An AxCrazy ruler whose answer to everything is a beheading.
438* CharacterCatchphrase:
439** "OFF WITH HIS/HER/THEIR HEAD(S)!"
440** She has a tendency to remind people that "''ALL'' WAYS ARE MY WAYS!"
441* CompositeCharacter: Of the Queen of Hearts and the Red Queen from Lewis Carrol's books. She also has some qualities that are similar to the Duchess.
442* DirtyCoward: When Alice turns into a giant during the trial, she is the most scared.
443* TheDreaded: Everyone is terrified of her and her reactions, except maybe the March Hare ([[HamToHamCombat who has no problem screaming in her face]]) and the [[{{Troll}} Cheshire Cat]].
444* EvilIsHammy: If her catchphrase wasn't evidence enough.
445* FatBitch: As Alice puts it, a "fat, pompous, bad tempered old tyrant".
446* FauxAffablyEvil: She pretends to herself and by extension to Alice to be nice when telling her she should act like a proper lady shortly before threatening to cut off her head.
447* GaleForceSound: Her voice is powerful enough to blow the jury members out of their box at one point.
448* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: She has a huge temper and has anyone who upsets her executed. It's no surprise that she provides the trope image.
449* {{Gonk}}: Just as unattractive as she is unpleasant.
450* HairTriggerTemper: One of the most famous examples. Tries to remain calm at the beginning, but any minor thing not going her way is enough to driver her to yelling.
451%% * Happily Married: With the King of Hearts, oddly enough.
452* HighCollarOfDoom: Her dress has a large, white collar, and she's not a nice person. The collar even creates a contrast when she's angry, emphasizing how red her face is.
453* ItsAllAboutMe: In Wonderland, ''ALL'' ways are ''HER'' ways.
454* {{Jerkass}}: It's not just her temper, she actually enjoys being cruel to people.
455* KarmaHoudini: Nothing bad happens to her, though [[spoiler:she's just a figment of Alice's dreams]], anyway.
456* LargeAndInCharge: She is obviously the one giving allt he orders, and she is literally the largest person in the kingdom, from what we see.
457* MoodSwinger: She has huge mood swings, from content to enraged at a moment's notice.
458* NoIndoorVoice: She screams most of her sentences.
459* PetTheDog: Her one good trait is that she actually does appear to love her husband, and will actually do things like holding a trial instead of an execution and not just rushing through said trial if her husband really wants it and asks politely for it.
460* PimpedOutDress: A red, black, and white[[note]]and in some art and merch, you can see the white trimming is [[PrettyInMink actually ermine]][[/note]] dress to go with the card motif.
461* PlotIrrelevantVillain: The movie is really just wacky nonsense. There really isn't much plot for her to be relevant ''or'' irrelevant to.
462* PsychopathicWomanchild: She's basically a spoiled bratty child trapped in the body of a tyrannical adult queen.
463* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Courtesy of the natural playing card colors.
464* SlasherSmile: Lots of them. The animators put a lot of imagination into showing just how much the Queen seems to ''enjoy'' losing her temper.
465* SuddenlyShouting: She can change from shouting as loud as possible to a sweet tone in a single sentence.
466-->'''Queen of Hearts:''' [-That's the most important piece of evidence we've heard yet!...-] '''''WRITE THAT DOWN!!!'''''
467* TemptingFate: "LET ME HAVE IT!!!" ''[gets hit in the face with some jam]''
468* TinyGuyHugeGirl: She's much taller than the King of Hearts.
469* VillainSong: "Who's Been Painting My Roses Red?"
470-->"For painting my roses REEEEEEED\
471Someone will lose their head!
472* WouldHurtAChild: She's perfectly willing to have a little girl beheaded. All because [[DisproportionateRetribution she made her lose her temper]].

482The Queen's short and submissive husband.

492--> '''White Rabbit''': Her Imperial Highness, Her Grace, Her Excellency, Her Royal Majesty, the Queen of Hearts! ...and the King.

509* ShesAManInJapan: Dinah becomes a male cat named Oreste in the Italian dub, for complicated reasons of language adaptation.[[note]]In a later dialogue, the Mad Hatter understands "tea!" after Alice spells C-A-T (referring to Dinah) but this joke doesn't work in Italian, so they made Alice say "O-Res-TE", so the Hatter can say "Tè!" (Italian for "tea").[[/note]] Same in the Polish dub, where she is renamed "Jacek" (Polish for Jack) and Alice refers to her as "mały" (Polish for "little one" except that female version would be "mała").

521* OnlySaneWoman: The sanest character in the entire movie. Justified, as she never goes to Wonderland (due to being just a dream).
522* PracticallyDifferentGenerations: She seems to be in her late teens or twenties, while her little sister Alice is a preteen, or at most an early adolescent. She could be mistaken for Alice's ''mother'', or her governess, if the closing credits didn't reveal that she's her sister.
