Continuity mistake: When Alice falls through the "ceiling" in the round room there is a hole created by her coming through. The room rotates 180° so the ceiling becomes the floor. Through some miraculous occurrence the hole in the floor is no longer there. (00:13:27 - 00:13:55)
Alice in Wonderland (2010)
1 suggested correction
Directed by: Tim Burton
Starring: Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway, Crispin Glover, Mia Wasikowska
Continuity mistake: When Alice leaves to think over Hamish's proposal and chases after the White Rabbit, the heels on her shoes change, but when she falls into the hole the heels are back once again.
Alice Kingsley: This is impossible.
The Mad Hatter: Only if you believe it is.
Trivia: Alice's impending battle on the "frabjous day" with a creature referred to as a "Jabberwocky" is a central plot point, and refers to Lewis Carroll's famous poem "Jabberwocky," from which other characters in the film, such as the Jubjub bird and Bandersnatch, are derived. However, the titular creature of the poem "Jabberwocky" was NOT a Jabberwocky, but a Jabberwock. For whatever reason, the writers of the film chose to call it by the [admittedly similar] title of the poem instead of the actual name of the creature. (For the full text of the poem, see http://www.jabberwocky.com/carroll/jabber/jabberwocky.html).
Question: Why does Alice dance briefly at the end after returning to the regular world?
Chosen answer: She is proving a point that she is not going to follow the boundaries of English society, the Mad Hatter futer-wagoned, that was where she got the moves. It also showed the crowd that she wasn't wearing stockings.
