Then instead of picking the carrot, Alice picks up the White Rabbit who is still attached to the carrot, thus taking the whole carrot with him. Panicked by her new gigantic dimensions, Alice spots a garden out in front of the house and wonders out loud, “ Perhaps if I eat something, it will make me grow small.” Alice then attempts to pluck a carrot from the garden however, the White Rabbit tries to prevent her from doing so by grabbing onto the top of the carrot. Don’t mind if I do.,” and after taking a bite, proceeds to grow in size like before. Taking an EAT ME cookie, Alice says, “Thank you. Alice happens upon a lidded silver compote bowl (adorned with a carrot design), which contains a collection of colorful sugar cookies each with its own phrase: EAT ME, TRY ME, TAKE ONE.
We then see a version of these same cookies again a little while later when Alice is at the home of the White Rabbit. Tastes like cherry tart.” She proceeds to take another sip from the bottle, and as Alice begins to shrink down in size, she continues to describe the taste of the liquid as tasting like, “custard, pineapple, roast turkey.”Īfter shrinking down to a minuscule size, Alice is then presented with a small lidded gold box filled with cookies that are embellished with the phrases “EAT ME” and “TAKE ME.” Alice again complies, taking a bite out of an “EAT ME” cookie before growing in size. The very first food or drink moment in Alice in Wonderland occurs about eight minutes into the film when Alices encounters a small glass bottle with a tag tied around the neck, adorned with the words “DRINK ME.” Alice complies and after taking a sip from the bottle, exclaims, “Mmmm. In addition to being one of my favorite Disney classics, Alice in Wonderland contains quite a number of food and drink moments, making it an obvious choice for a food & a film feature. Released in 1951, Alice in Wonderland is Disney’s hand drawn animated take on Lewis Carroll’s cherished fantastical tale. The name of one of the three little sisters in the Treacle Well refers to Alice: ‘Lacie’ is a transformation of the letters from the word ‘Alice’.A curious girl falls down a rabbit hole, entering a whimsical world of wonder. He recommended her as a model, but whether Tenniel accepted this advice remains a matter of dispute Carroll sent Tenniel a photograph of Mary Hilton Badcock, another child-friend, who was the daughter of the Dean of Ripon. The illustrations of Alice by John Tenniel are not based on Alice Liddell. The character of Alice is based on a real girl, called Alice Liddell, who was one of the author’s child-friends. “Loving, first, loving and gentle: loving as a dog (forgive the prosaic simile, but I know no earthy love so pure and perfect), and gentle as a fawn then courteous – courteous to all, high or low, grand or grotesque, King or Caterpillar, even as though she were herself a King’s daughter, and her clothing of wrought gold: then trustful, ready to accept the wildest impossibilities with all that utter trust that only dreamers know and lastly, curious – wildly curious, and with the eager enjoyment of Life that comes only in the happy hours of childhood, when all is new and fair, and when Sin and Sorrow are but names – empty words signifying nothing!”
In the article ‘ Alice on Stage’, Carroll gives the following description of her: In Through the Looking-Glass, she is 6 months older and more sure of her identity. She is easily put off by abruptness and rudeness of others. Alice is polite, well raised and interested in others, although she sometimes makes the wrong remarks and upsets the creatures in Wonderland. She is a seven-year-old English girl (in ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’ she is exactly seven years old, in ‘Through the Looking-Glass’ she is seven and a half) with lots of imagination and is fond of showing off her knowledge. Alice is the main character of the story “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” and the sequel “Through the Looking-Glass and what Alice found there”.
