This blog is dedicated primarily to the Disney Channel's Adventures in Wonderland. Here I share my own observations of the show and my various fanworks, as well as highlight the content others create for it! Drop by and see what we have cooking up at the Hat House!!~Rachel
There’s always something happening at the Hat House!
Hello everyone! My name is Rachel and welcome to my AiW blog! Here you'll find a collection of artwork, findings and musings for Disney's Adventures in Wonderland.
My main blog is @rachel1987 and if you’d like to know more about me, you can check out my intro page here.
You can watch full episodes of AiW with a subscription on D+ or for free on TeaforTen’s Youtube channel ((or the Internet Archive)). TeaforTen’s blog is also a great place for more info on the show, as well as to view production content.
If you’re interested in my fan content for the show, you can locate a lot of it under the MyArt tag as well as my full gallery on devART. My Youtube channel also has some speed-draws of the artwork you’ll find here. If you like fanfiction, you can find my works on Ao3 and FF.net.
Through 2023-2024 I did a full watch through of the series and made posts and artwork about it. If you’d like to check that out, please look at my #Wonderland Watchthrough tag!
NEW: For the 31st anniversary I’ve compiled all of the songs from the show on a drive that you can find here.
Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you around the Hat House!
The all-new adaptation will be directed by 'The Grinch' co-director Scott Mosier and produced by London's 'Animal Farm' and 'Hitpig!' studio
Not quite AIW, but AIW-adjacent.
I mean, it's about time that they release a Hatter-centric Wonderland movie. He's (I think) the most recognizable character from Alice in Wonderland outside of Alice herself.
I can only hope that this will at least be halfway decent? I don't have a huge amount of faith in North American animation companies nowadays, which is where that mentality is coming from. Maybe more on the Grinch side of things and far away from the Animal Farm side. Please.
i made most of the adiw characters on my tomodachi life island!! (unfortunately the other characters were just too difficult to create... or i felt like i couldn't do them justice ((especially the queen with the hair options in the game))
hatter and hare are married of course, and rabbit is their roommate! and dee is married to rosalina (yes like from mario lol), and the two of them live with dum who is married to one of my irl friends.
Oh, wow! You were able to really capture them! You even made the Tweedle's vests!
I'm sure it was great to see them roam around your island. I love Hatter and Hare in the lion outfits. And Dum chatting it up with Alice makes me smile.
Thanks to the very clever @quirkythornquill, we have a couple glimpses of the elusive 1993 Presidential Inauguration for Children!
This one you're gonna want to zip to around 9:14 to see the footage.
This one is at the 5:00 mark.
I have to admit, this looks lackluster as all get out. But even if it's a complete mess, I still want to see the whole thing.
I will also always find it amusing that the Kermit muppeteer (Steve Whitmire?) chose to hide behind Hatter/John, probably because he's the tallest person on stage. XD
As long as I've looked for this, I've never been able to locate footage of it, so I'm so grateful to @quirkythornquill for sending these my way so I could share them!
Hi I found an interview Reece did in 1989 in the newspaper News-Pilot Fri, May 26, 1989 ·Page 51and page 56. I'm not sure if you've seen it before. I have PDF's, if you're interested how can I send them to you.
This isn't one that I've read before! I thought that it might be the interview Reece did about being on stage with Les Misérables when there was an earthquake. But this is very fun! Reece gets to bag about moving from Marius in Les Misérables to Raoul in Phantom of the Opera.

Two months ago I was able to secure a AiW Press Kit from eBay! I'm not entirely sure when this would have been mailed out because the opening letter references that the show had already premiered on Disney Channel. This was probably when they were trying to get the show syndicated? The front of the folder also has a sticker that celebrated the 1992 Children's programming Emmy they received...
Below is a link to the drive that holds all the files, but look under the cut to see breakdown of everything inside!
First in the packet is the show overview! This gives a general breakdown about the show as well as its production. It seems like a sort of Artist statement to me. There is a mention of an education kit that contained "two colorful posters" as well as worksheets and a video. I'd love to get my hands on those!
Next is a cast and credit sheet. Here we can find biographies and agent contact information for each actor, the educational consultants and Andi Copley. Unfortunately, Richard Kulhman and John Lovelady were not included. (It also goes unsaid, but please do not contact any phone numbers or addresses in these packets. These are over 30 years old and will go nowhere.)
Last in line for the documents are 48 episode breakdowns! I wish I could say that there was a surprise episode in here, but we weren't that lucky. It's interesting from an educational perspective, but not really otherwise.
Now for the photos in the packet!
I've uploaded resized versions of the images here cause they were too large for tumblr. The originals are on the GDrive.
I could be wrong, but I don't know that any of these are new images for us. I do think that it's interesting that the image of the Tweedles not only don't have their hats, but used Crystal as a backdrop.
The press kit also came with a series of slides, but for the love of me I cannot figure out how to get decent quality scans of them without paying a fair amount out of pocket. I'll upload them as soon as I'm able, but I'm still trying to figure it out.
Lastly, I fell in love with the decorative border around all the documents, so I decided to include it here without the text.
I've seen additional information packets for AiW before and I thought those would be included there, but it looks like I'm still on the hunt for them. But I'm happy with this purchase and at the very least I can upload everything here so they're available for everyone to look at.
There is a video on youtube about the Disney Channel Library tour from 1993. Posted by user Sincerely Yours MMC I would include link but it's won't let me .
OH MY LORD!! Thanks for letting me know about this! I had no idea!
I cannot believe the BTS footage in here. I’m definitely going to have to take some screecaps this weekend.
So I've gotten really into a show recently, Adventures in Wonderland (1992), it's FULLY taken a hold of my brain.
ESPECIALLY the March Hare and Mad Hatter.
This entire show has become a bit of a comfort show for me so here's my offerings to the AiW1992 fandom (which is so small you can fit everyone in the back of a car.)
I do have more AiW art but it isnt Hatter & Hare so im saving it and I'll make a part 2 with other characters eventually ^^
Little AiW1992 Hatter x Hare angst anyone?
Given the examples of episodes like 'Party Pooped', this song can very much go both ways! In this context, Hatter might have accidentally stood Hare up on a date, which is why they're in their tuxedos. [Of course, it wouldn't have been on purpose; more likely got caught up having to host one of his billion tea parties.]
Yes, this song is about cheating. No, I'm not making either of them one, they're devoted to one another through 'n' through shhhh...
I've been so horribly obsessed with their tuxedo outfits, despite them only appearing for barely a quarter of one singular episode ... so I HAD to do something with them.
Also crazy to think I ended up with this animation purely because I wouldn't leave the Hatter doodle alone until I "perfected" it in my mind!
