[1] After helping her mother set the table for tea time, Alice goes outside to see her sister and play with her kitten, Dinah.

The White Rabbit appears, but frightened of the giant Alice, runs away, dropping his fan and gloves.

The White Rabbit mistakes Alice for his housemaid Mary Ann and orders her to go get his fan and gloves from his house.

Angry at Alice, the rabbit and his butler Pat the Guinea Pig begin throwing berries at her, which turn into little cakes.

She then meets The Duchess and her cook; the Cheshire Cat, who tells her "There's No Way Home"; and the Mad Hatter, March Hare, and Dormouse having an outdoor tea party ("Laugh").

Alice runs off back on her quest for the White Rabbit, and meets a baby fawn in the forest, the only normal thing she's seen so far ("Why Do People Act as If They're Crazy?").

She leaves to visit the Gryphon and Mock Turtle ("Nonsense"), but then she is called to attend the trial of the Knave of Hearts, who is accused of having stolen The Queen's tarts.

Alice has an interesting conversation with some talking flowers and meets The Red Queen from the chess set, now human-sized.

She boards a train to the fourth square, where she meets the gnat and then Tweedledum and Tweedledee, who teach her the proper way to "Shake Hands" and sing the story of "The Walrus and the Carpenter".

The Lion and the Unicorn call a temporary truce and Alice hands out a tray of Looking-Glass Cake, which must be passed around first, then cut after.

Part 1 won easily from 8-9 P.M. opposite Hardcastle and McCormick on ABC, and TV's Bloopers and Practical Jokes on NBC.

The costumes for the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, the Dormouse, the King of Hearts, the Rose, and the Gentleman in the Paper Suit were used in the Halloween party sequence for Hocus Pocus (1993 film).

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment released the film on DVD in August 2006, restoring the original TV broadcast edit.
