What critics compared Alice in Wonderland to
Additionally, there are sing-alongs for "The Unbirthday Song" and "All in the Golden Afternoon" plus the trivia challenge "Adventure in Wonderland," an approximation of a newly unearthed theme for the Cheshire Cat, "I'm Odd," performed--unless mine ears deceiveth me--by Jim Cummings, the company's current stand-in for Sterling Holloway, and the 1936 Mickey Mouse short Thru the Mirror (also available as part of the Walt Disney Treasures collection "Mickey Mouse in Living Color"), wherein Mickey falls asleep reading Through the Looking Glass and dreams of a room beyond his vanity mirror full of anthropomorphized furniture.
And there are any number of non-videogame references as well, ranging from a ridiculous but adorable Wizard Of Oz visual joke to Firefly / Dollhouse star Alan Tudyk voicing Sugar Rush’s daffy, mostly affable King Candy in direct imitation of chortling Disney vet Ed Wynn (the Mad Hatter from 1951’s Alice In Wonderland and Uncle Albert in Mary Poppins).
Perhaps it is no surprise that a Disney film that celebrates outsiders (Ralph the ‘villain’ and Vanellope the ‘glitch’) over social cohesion should contain a variation of a character from Alice in Wonderland (Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson and Hamilton Luske, 1951), the most anarchic and unconventional of the classic Disney animated feature films.
It's as if del Toro had uncovered the darker aspects of Lewis Carroll's Alice In Wonderland adventures, the dormant elements ignored by Disney and television (though not by Jan Svankmajer in his disturbing 1988 gem, Alice), and found a home for them in his own fractured fairy tale.
Vuelvan a ver Fantasia o Alice in Wonderland (1951), por sólo citar dos ejemplos clásicos de Disney, y verán que la falta de explicaciones y la ausencia de razón pueden ser cosas terroríficas… incluso entre canciones sobre escobas y flores.

I kept having “Alice in Wonderland” flashbacks or horrific thoughts that they could be swingers with plans to invite Heather.
This version of Alice in Wonderland was made by Disney, and is the most famous in a long line of many (you can find Alice films spanning from 1915 to 1999).
Note that the now-standard DisneyView option fills in the pillarbox bands on 16x9 displays for the length of the feature with Alice in Wonderland-themed artwork created expressly for this release by Michael Humphries.
Disney studio's produced and distributed it, apparently with noconcern over stepping on their original animated Alice in Wonderland (1951).
