Alice sits bored by the riverbank with her sister and follows a White Rabbit that checks a pocket watch, tumbling down a deep rabbit hole filled with curious shelves and jars. She falls slowly, talking to herself about geography, her cat Dinah, and bats, before landing in a long hall where she finds a tiny golden key and a small door leading to a beautiful garden. After drinking from a "DRINK ME" bottle that shrinks her to ten inches tall, she forgets the key on the table, cries, then eats a "EAT ME" cake hoping it will change her size to reach the garden.
