* PepTalkSong: Actually inverted by the Cheshire Cat; the scene seems perfectly set up for him to sing an uplifting song to Alice about how she'll find her way home if she just doesn't give up...and he does the exact opposite, singing a dreary and depressing song about how "There's No Way Home".

* {{Cliffhanger}}: The original TV airing, as well as the DVD, had the ''Alice in Wonderland'' section end right as the Jabberwocky shuffles into Alice's living room and she screams. The VHS release was much more merciful (perhaps because the series was released on two cassettes that were sold separately), having the first section end as Alice runs home after escaping Wonderland.

* PlotIrrelevantVillain: The Jabberwock is an unnecessary addition to the "Through the Looking Glass" portion of the film. In the original book, the Jabberwock never appeared outside the poem "Literature/{{Jabberwocky}}". Irwin Allen, however, believed the story needed an equivalent to the Boogeyman, so he made the Jabberwock appear and scare Alice when she reads the poem, and then turn up again twice later (once at the end of the Humpty Dumpty scene, the second during the climax). But really it contributes nothing to the story, aside from allowing the producers to put in a climax somewhat more comprehensible than the book's [[GainaxEnding rather bewildering finale]].
