If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrariwise, what it is, it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?

~ Alice talking to Dinah.
Alice is the titular main protagonist of Disney's 13th full-length animated feature film Alice in Wonderland and the overarching protagonist of the Disney Junior show Alice's Wonderland Bakery.
She is loosely based on the character with the same name from the Lewis Carroll's books Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Alice Through the Looking Glass. The voice and the reference for animators of the character in the movie were done by Kathryn Beaumont, Alice who has also done the voice on the self-titled attraction at Disneyland as well as in other media involving Disney, including the TV series, House of Mouse and the first Kingdom Hearts video game. Kathtyn eventually reprised her role once in Alice's Wonderland Bakery
But her original voice actress, Kathryn Beaumont has retired and Alice is now, from Kingdom Hearts 2.0 Remix onward currently voiced by Hynden Walch who voiced Starfire from Teen Titans and her reboot incarnation in Teen Titans Go! and Princess Bubblegum from Adventure Time.
In live action film, a grown-up Alice Kingsleigh was portrayed by Mia Wasikowska in the Tim Burtonfilms, and by Sophie Lowe in the television series Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.
Alice is a cute pre-teen girl, who is fair-skinned with thick shoulder-length blonde hair, rosy cheeks, a black hair ribbon tied in a bow, blue eyes, red or dark pink lips, hot pink nails and wears a cerulean blue puffy short-sleeved knee-length dress with a white pinafore apron, white thigh-high lace stockings, white corset, frilly white knee-length pantalettes, matching petticoat and black strapped Mary Jane shoes with brown/grey soles.
Biography[]
She is depicted as a daydreamer first and foremost. Prior to arriving in Wonderland, she sat on the bank of a river listening to her big sister reading lessons. But Alice didn't like the book as it had no pictures, and claimed, "In my world, the books would be nothing but pictures!" This gives some idea of Alice's large imagination. And at first, Wonderland seemed like the perfect place for Alice, as it allowed her to indulge in her imaginings as well as her intense curiosity. However, Alice's quick temper and eagerness to show off her knowledge often proved to be bad qualities in Wonderland and landed her in many precarious situations. She likes daydreaming, flowers, and tea, but she dislikes being tickled, books with no pictures and rudeness.
Appearances[]
Alice in Wonderland (1951 Disney film)[]
Alice with her kitten, Dinah
Alice first appears in the film as she is busy working on a flower wreath while doing her best to listen to her big sister as she recites Alice's history lesson to her. When Alice's kitten Dinah shakes the wreath off her and onto Alice's sister, needless to say, Alice's sister is not amused and politely, though annoyingly, asks Alice to listen to her history lesson. Alice apologizes, grumbling about why she should listen to a book that has no pictures in it. Her sister counters her grumbling by reassuring her that there are a many a book in the world that do not have pictures in them. However, Alice simply retorts that while that may be true in "your world", in her world, the books would be nothing but pictures, leaving her sister amused, but calling Alice's dreams nonsense before returning to the lesson.
However, Alice is inspired by what she just said, and talks to Dinah about where she dreams of a world of her own, such as how Dinah would not meow in Alice's world, but would reply in English, "Yes, Miss Alice" instead. It is around this time that Alice, unknowingly, dozes off to sleep and begins to dream about Wonderland.
It starts when Dinah alerts her to spotting the White Rabbit. Upon getting shocked herself at seeing him, Alice immediately gives pursuit of him as he frantically says he's late for a very important date, disappearing down his rabbit hole. Despite concerns from Dinah, Alice squeezes herself into the rabbit hole and proceeds down the tunnel, but not paying attention to where she's going as she was talking to Dinah at that moment, Alice doesn't see the slope angle downward, and she falls forward into a bottomless pit. Fearing this is the end for her, she waves goodbye to Dinah before falling out of sight. However, as she tumbles and turns upright, enough air catches under her dress and causes it to blossom open like a parachute, slowing her fall to a gentle float as she takes in the surprise of how she'll survive her fall thanks to this. After being momentarily interrupted talking to herself by her apron coming loose from her dress and smothering her face before she flattens it out again, she is amazed by what she sees as she floats down the rabbit hole with the walls and various objects and knickknacks floating in place. She even takes a book from a nightstand to read to bide her time, but is quickly bored and distracted by other things before landing in a rocking chair and relaxing before she slides out of it, and her dress redeploys into its parachute form. Reaching a bottleneck in the hole, she deflates her dress to slip through, then quickly releases it to blossom out again, before turning upside down as she questions about if she'll end up on the other side of the Earth where people walk upside down. Laughing it off as silly, she soon finds her floating downward halted as she catches on something, spots the White Rabbit running away, and quickly realizing her feet caught on a curtain rod, she gets herself turned upright again and resumes her chase.
She then meets The Doorknob, who suggests she drink from a bottle labeled "Drink Me" to become small enough to enter him, only to find she forgot the key when it appears on the table. Eating a cookie from a chest labeled "Eat Me" to try and return to her normal size, Alice ends up becoming so big that she nearly takes up the whole room. She soon loses control of her emotions and begins crying so hard that her tears end up turning the floor of the room into an ocean of them. When the Doorknob points out there's still some fluid left in the bottle for her to drink, Alice drinks it, shrinking small enough to be carried, in the bottle, through the Doorknob's mouth/keyhole, and into Wonderland proper.
There she meets the Dodo having a caucus race and Tweedledee and Tweedledum, who tell her the story of the Walrus and the Carpenter. Alice later stumbles upon the White Rabbit's home and finally meets face to face with him, but he mistakes her for his maid Mary Ann. He orders her to get his gloves and while inside she eats more snacks which makes her large again. The White Rabbit believes this to be a monster and to regain her natural size she eats a carrot. She begins the continuation of her journey small as a bug and meets rude flowers and a semi-wise Caterpillar during her journey on. She regains her natural size by eating a piece of a mushroom pointed out to her by the Caterpillar. Alice then meets the mischievous Cheshire Cat and is led to the Mad Hatter and March Hare. Alice and the duo become friends until they seem to be even madder than they appear. Alice storms away frustrated and ends up lost in the Tugley Woods, where she finally admits that she wants to go back home to where everything is safe and sane, admitting that a world of her own isn't what she wanted anymore. She meets up with Cheshire Cat again, and he leads her to the tyrannical Queen of Hearts under the surmise she could help Alice get home, who constantly loses her temper blaming Alice for anything that happens to her, when it was the Cheshire Cat causing the pranks to tick off the Queen and framing Alice for them. While playing croquet, Alice gets her tummy tickled by a dimwitted flamingo. The Queen of Hearts gets upset to the point where a kangaroo court is held as a way to get Alice beheaded. Though Alice attempts to stand up to the Queen when she grows giant again, thus giving her some advantage and leverage against the Queen, she soon returns to her normal size, and at the worst possible time as Alice had just insulted the Queen with calling her a "fat, pompous, bad-tempered, old tyrant", which once the Cheshire Cat seals Alice's doom with repeating it to the Queen, she explodes in fury and orders Alice executed, forcing Alice to flee for her life before the Card Soldiers can capture her and carry out her sentence.
Soon enough the pursuit leads to a climactic chase with all the maddened Wonderland residents chasing down Alice until she's cornered at the Doorknob, who reveals that she's fast asleep in reality, leading up to Alice waking up to her sister's voice asking her to recite her history lesson, realizing it was a dream. She then leaves with her big sister and cat, Dinah, heading for home.

In "Mickey vs Shelby", just after Mickey welcomes everyone to the club, Alice is seen in the lobby asking Daisy if the White Rabbit passed through recently. Daisy replies no and apologizes, and Alice continues into the club, curious where the White Rabbit went, unaware when he pops up after she's gone to thank Daisy and explains that "she's been following me".

While talking with her, Sora discovers that Alice might have accidentally stumbled upon an undiscovered system of world travel due to her arrival in Wonderland from another world. Later on, when Sora brings forth evidence of Alice's innocence, the Queen's anger at his attempts due to the nonsensical rules of Wonderland lead to a scuffle. As the Queen orders her subjects to attack Sora, Donald, and Goofy, Alice's cage is covered and lifted above the court so as to keep her out of Sora's reach. During the fight, Alice becomes abducted by the Heartless and taken to the world of Hollow Bastion, where a group of villains from other worlds, led by the witch Maleficent, are plotting to take over all worlds. Their plan happens to involve Alice who, as a Princess of Heart, has the power to open the Final Keyhole and she's kept in stasis along with the other princesses. Upon discovering her disappearance, Sora and his friends continue venturing to other worlds, keeping an eye out for Alice so that they could return her to her world. Some time later, Ansem interferes with Maleficent's plan, using Alice's heart to create the Keyblade of People's Hearts. However, a selfless act by Sora restores Alice's heart. Upon awakening, she assists the other Princesses in defending Hollow Bastion from the darkness that is threatening to consume it. After Sora sealed the Keyhole, she remains behind in Hollow Bastion to protect the world. When the door to Kingdom Hearts is sealed, she is able to return to her own world. She is presumably exonerated by the Queen of Hearts upon returning to Wonderland now that the Queen knew the Heartless were the real culprits.
