Well, that's one way to shut the queen up!
  • The March Of The Cards. Even more awesome when you remember that this was long before the Computer Age—every single one of those cards had to be drawn to match perfectly, moving in absolute unison, by hand.
  • After being accused by the Queen of Hearts, Alice eats both sides of the mushroom she took earlier and grows to gargantuan proportions. The cards pointlessly try to attack her with their weapons, but Alice merely picks them up and throws them away. Then she directs her anger towards the Queen of Hearts, whom she calls a fat, pompous, bad-tempered old tyrant. Too bad it didn't last long...
    Alice: Oh, pooh. I'm not afraid of you. Why you're nothing but a pack of cards!
  • The Doorknob gets a good one in the end. Alice is trying to get out and escape the Queen of Hearts, which prompts the Doorknob to tell her that she already is out, and shows her sleeping self in the real world, which helps Alice realise that it was all a dream and beg her real self to wake up. Since the Doorknob is one of the nicer characters in Wonderland, this moment here makes you cheer for him.

1985 TV Movie

  • Near the end of part 2, the Queen of Hearts orders her guards to behead the Jabberwock, "OFF WITH HIS HEAD!! OFF WITH HIS HEAD!!". But their axe/spears don't phase him and he just easily swat them away.
