Alice in Wonderland (1999 Film) - Cast

Cast

  • Alice (Tina Majorino) - A kind and curious young girl who is very nervous about performing the song Cherry Ripe at her parents' party in the beginning of the film. After her adventures in Wonderland, she finally gets the confidence to sing. However, she sings the Lobster Quadrille (a song that the Mock Turtle taught her) instead. Everyone loves her performance and she even spots the Cheshire Cat in the audience who grins at her in a term of congratulations.
  • The Queen of Hearts (Miranda Richardson) - A spoiled, unkind, and childish queen whose most popular catchphrase is "Off with their heads!" She occasionally screams very loud to get her way, causing some people's ears to hurt. She was the one who started the croquet game and the Knave's trial in the first place. The trial turned out to be completely worthless of beginning.
  • The Mad Hatter (Martin Short) - A mad hat salesman who was first seen having a tea party with his best friends the March Hare and the Dormouse. He once sung at the Queen's concert, but was sentenced away because of his horrible performance. He was also called as a witness to the Knave's trial, but was soon recognized by the Queen and quickly ran away.
  • Cheshire Cat (Whoopi Goldberg) - A grinning cat who teaches Alice "the rules" of Wonderland. She was also one of the few characters who was nice to Alice. Her favorite pastime is appearing and disappearing.
  • The King of Hearts (Simon Russell Beale) - The foolish husband of the Queen who constantly tries to be like his wife and fawns over her.
  • Mr. Mouse (Ken Dodd) - A very kind, funny, and wise mouse who tries to get Alice dry with a very boring lecture. When it fails, the Dodo suggests that they have a caucus race. Mr. Mouse is last seen going home, along with his friends, for a cup of hot chocolate.
  • The Mock Turtle (Gene Wilder) - A weird type of turtle who often cries on remembering his moments at his school in the sea. He sings two songs to Alice: The Lobster Quadrille and Beautiful Soup. His best friend is the Gryphon.
  • The March Hare (Adrian Getley, Robert Tygner, Francis Wright ) - The Mad Hatter's mad tea party companion. His costume scared Tina Majorino because of the asymmetrical eyes.
  • Tweedledee and Tweedledum (George Wendt and Robbie Coltrane, respectively) - Two fat brothers who tell Alice the story of The Walrus and the Carpenter. After this, Tweedledum finds his new rattle spoiled, which he thinks was spoiled by Tweedledee. They have a brief battle which is interrupted by a monstrous crow which scares them away.
  • The White Rabbit (Kiran Shah and Richard Coombs ) - A human-sized rabbit who is always running late. He serves as herald to the Queen and King. Alice also got stuck in his house in the film.
  • The White Knight (Christopher Lloyd) - A kind knight who invented a lunchbox which he carries upside down so the sandwiches in it do not get wet. Alice points out that since it is upside down the sandwiches will fall out. He replies with, "So that's what happened to my sandwiches." He is also not very good at riding his horse.
  • The Duchess (Elizabeth Spriggs) - A duchess who is first seen nursing a baby which turns into a pig. Her pet is the Cheshire Cat. She was occasionally kind to Alice.
  • Major Caterpillar (Ben Kingsley) - A caterpillar major who is first seen smoking a hookah. He gives Alice advice on how to be brave on singing.
  • The Walrus and the Carpenter (Peter Ustinov and Pete Postlethwaite, respectively) - Two characters in the Tweedles' story.
  • The Gryphon (voiced by Donald Sinden) - A creature (with a look of both lion and eagle) who is the Mock Turtle's best friend. He shows Alice to him and used to go to school in the sea with the Mock Turtle. The Gryphon was operated by David Alan Barclay, Adrian Getley, and Robert Tygner.
  • The Knave of Hearts (Jason Flemyng) - A clueless knave who is accused of stealing the Queen's tarts. The Queen constantly refers to him as an idiot.
  • Pat and Bill the Lizard (Jason Byrne and Paddy Joyce, respectively) - The White Rabbit's two loyal gardeners. Pat is also very reluctant while Bill is a little more trustworthy.
  • Miss Lory, Mr. Duck, Mr. Eaglet, and Mr. Dodo (Liz Smith, Ken Campbell, Heathcote Williams and Peter Bayliss, respectively) - The Mouse's group of friends who are in the caucus race.
  • Tiger Lily (Joanna Lumley ) - A very talkative flower who gives Alice directions.
  • The Cook (Sheila Hancock) - The Duchess's crazy cook who enjoys putting pepper in her meals. She also likes throwing dishes at Alice and the Duchess.
  • Dormouse (Nigel Plaskitt and David Alan Barclay ) - The Mad Hatter and March Hare's tea party companion who is asleep through most of the tea party scene. He seems to have a fondness for treacle and was later stuffed into a teapot by his companions.
  • The Pig Baby (voice of Nigel Plaskitt) - A rather creepy and ugly baby who is first seen being nursed by the Duchess. He soon turns into a pig.
  • The Frog and Fish Footmen (Peter Eyre and Hugh Lloyd) - Two footmen who were first seen standing in front of the Duchess's house. The Fishface handed the Frogface an invitation for the Duchess to play croquet, then walked away. The Frogface was also rather stupid.
  • The Rose Painting Cards (Matthew Sim, Jonathan Broadbent, and Christopher Ryan) - The three cards were first seen painting white roses red because they accidentally planted them white, and if the Queen found out she would behead them. The Queen soon found out and Alice saved them by hiding them in her pocket.
  • The Red Knight (Gerard Naprous) - A knight who challenges the White Knight to a fight. In the end, they decided not to fight anymore. The Red Knight then leaves on his horse.
  • Mother (Janine Eser) - Alice's mother.
  • Father (Jeremy Brudenell) - Alice's father.
  • Nanny (Mary Healey)
  • Governess (Dilys Laye)

Famous quotes containing the word cast:

    There may sometimes be ungenerous attempts to keep a young man down; and they will succeed too, if he allows his mind to be diverted from its true channel to brood over the attempted injury. Cast about, and see if this feeling has not injured every person you have ever known to fall into it.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    Just as the creative artist is not allowed to choose, neither is he permitted to turn his back on anything: a single refusal, and he is cast out of the state of grace and becomes sinful all the way through.
    Rainer Maria Rilke (1875–1926)

    Hell, covering all with its gloomy vapors, has cast shadows on even the holiest eyes.
    Jean Racine (1639–1699)
