With this being Wonderland through the "looking glass" of a TV screen, the creative team had all the excuse they needed to reinterpret all the iconic Wonderland characters as TV celebrities. Alice goes after Fluff and of course winds up falling through herself, and entering Wonderland. It bounces toward and magically through the living room TV screen-and Fluff, in hot pursuit, disappears right after it. This adaptation of the 1865 novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is essentially, and very intentionally, a modern riff on the classic tale: while trying to read the original Lewis Carroll book for a book report, Alice tries to fend off her little white dog Fluff, who is in a very playful mood, and tosses a ball for him to chase. The rest of the underscoring was drawn from the vast library of cues that Hanna-Barbera's in-house composer Hoyt Curtin had written for various animated series. The songs were orchestrated by Marty Paich, who also provided musical direction plus devised and arranged that part of the underscoring that was drawn from the musical numbers. The songs were written by composer Charles Strouse and lyricist Lee Adams, who were most famous for Bye Bye Birdie. It was broadcast on the ABC network on March 30, 1966, in an hour slot (including commercials). The New Alice in Wonderland (or What's a Nice Kid like You Doing in a Place like This?) is a 1966 American animated television special written by Bill Dana (who also appears in its cast) and produced by Hanna-Barbera.

Apparently he had a lisp, and would often end up saying his last name as “Dodo-dodgson”. There’s not much explanation to this character’s origins other than the fact that Lewis Carroll’s real name was Charles Dodgson, and the Dodo bird was based off of himself. The hatters essentially went “mad” after working with mercury for almost 100 years. It would affect their teeth, tongue, eyelids, limbs, and even alter their personalities to become irritable and paranoid. At the time, it wasn’t yet discovered that mercury was actually poisonous, and all of the hatters began showing unusual symptoms. In the 1730s, they realized that if they added a little bit of mercury to cheap furs they were able to find, that it would turn into felt. Hatters, the hat makers, realized they were running out of felt and needed a quick fix for the high demand of top hats. Back in the 16th century, every European man was supposed to wear a felt hat anytime they went out in public - a societal fashion trend. It has been a rumor for a while that the Mad Hatter actually got his name and quirky personality from a real-life event in the 17s. It is hypothesized that Carroll created the characters based on people who knew in his real life, as most authors tend to do. However, majority of the main characters are involved in both stories. There are a few characters from Lewis Carroll’s story that did not make it into the 1951 Disney film, such as The Lory, The Eaglet, The Duck, Pat, Puppy, The Mock Turtle, and others.
