Although there are a few similarities between the book and the movie, for the most part Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Walt Disney's Alice in Wonderland have major contrasting elements in plot and characters.Like all of Walt Disney's films, Alice and Wonderland's plot seems to be driven through each musical piece. The musical numbers almost seem to replace the more detailed plot and content in the novel. The complex plot in the novel includes a talking mouse who conducts a caucus race,and a Dutchess with an infant who turns to a baby pig. The movie clearly removes this detailed content and deals more with a broader turn of events topped with this muscial element. However, the film contains the basic elements within Carroll's novel. Throughout the course of the film, the audience observes the unpunctual rabbit, the river of tears, the Chesshire Cat, the Mad Hatter and March Hare, and lastly the infamous Queen of Hearts.
