Alice's Wonderland Bakery is a preschool series for Disney Junior, which premiered on February 9, 2022. It is placed in the same canon as the Disney movie Alice in Wonderland.
The series focuses on the great-granddaughter of Alice, aptly named Alice Jr., but known as just "Alice" to everyone, who owns a bakery in Wonderland. Along with her best friends, who are all offspring of the original Alice in Wonderland cast, Alice uses her magic tools and teamwork to whip up the tastiest recipes to help out anyone in need.
It was not renewed for a third season and ended on April 15, 2024.
Alice's Wonderland Tropery:
- All Animals Are Dogs: Near the end of the episode “Sour Grape”, Alice’s pet cat Dinah tries barkolli cooked by her owner. As a result, she starts acting like a dog and would’ve stayed a puppy-like feline forever given the lack of antidote to cure Dinah and the unusual nature of Wonderland if it weren’t for the show’s preschool nature and Reset Button.
- All-CGI Cartoon: The series is 3D CGI, like almost all of Disney Junior original cartoons since the channel launched.
- Armor-Piercing Question: In "Horsin' Around", when the King of Hearts points out Alice's mistake in the huevos habaneros, thanks to Hattie and Fergie horsing around with the recipe card, Alice asks Hattie and Fergie if the recipe really did call for potatoes, almost immediately forcing them to confess what happened.
- Barefoot Cartoon Animal: Like his ancestor, Fergie the White Rabbit is fully clothed except for shoes.
- Artistic License – Biology: Also like his ancestor (and the rabbit family in Robin Hood (1973)), Fergie is depicted with pawpads although real rabbits don't have them.
- Birthday Episode: The first episode, "Unforgettable Unbirthday", is this for Rosa.
- Disappeared Dad: Rosa's father has never been seen nor mentioned.
- Explosive Breeder: When Alice decides to bake an Unbirthday cake, Fergie says those cakes have more ingredients than he has brothers and sisters.
- Free-Range Children: Alice lives alone in the bakery, aside from Dinah, and her parents aren't even mentioned.
- Identical Grandchild:
- Alice looks exactly like her great-grandmother although her eyes are noticeably bigger.
- Fergie is also a younger version of his ancestor, the original White Rabbit.
- The Kids Are American: Unlike her great-grandmother, who spoke with a British accent, Alice has an American accent.
- Missing Mom: Hattie's mother has never been seen or mentioned.
- Once per Episode: Alice sings "The Baking Song" every episode as she is creating its featured pastry.
- Posthumous Character: Rosa's abuelita, who is mentioned and seen in a photo in "A Royal Remembrance", passed away before Rosa even got to meet her.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: The Queen of Hearts, much more so than her long-ago predecessor.
- Recycled In Space: The show is simply Butterbean's Cafe AS A DISNEY SHOW!
- Race Lift:
- The Queen and King of Hearts were White in the film, but their descendants are Hispanic.
- The Mad Hatter's descendants are shown to be of Asian descent.
- Secondary Adaptation: A preschool television show that acts as a Distant Sequel to the 1951 Disney film, which itself was based on Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.
- Spin-Offspring: The show centers around the descendants of the characters from the original Alice in Wonderland, including the protagonist who happens to be Alice's great-granddaughter.
- Sweet Baker: Not only do the protagonists run a bakery, they're all very kind and helpful.
- Title, Please!: Like all post-2018 Disney Junior shows, there are no title cards, but Alice still announces the titles.
- The Unreveal: "Alice's First Day in Wonderland" shows how she met her friends, but it's never shown how she got to Wonderland in the first place.
- Very Special Episode: "Peanut Butter Change-Up" shows finding a replacement for peanut butter for Jojo the Dodo, who has a peanut allergy.
- Wedding Episode: "A Very Wonderland Wedding".
- White Bunny: Fergie the White Rabbit, the descendant of the original White Rabbit.
