"Wow OJ Simpson, it's really you! Right here in my room!" *Breaking News:* This just in -- White Rabbit was found dead this morning in his Wonderland Home. Police have identified their primary suspect...
It would be hilarious if that was the reason the episode ends in a mass pie-ing. "But it defeats the whole purpose of the episode if the March Hare still hits his ex-bully with a pie!" "Well, can the other Wonderland characters hit me instead?" "...You are a strange little actor."
If you're going to be racist against any animal, why a walrus? Walruses can f*** you up. They're also awesome. If anything, discriminate against koalas, because in reality, they're pathetic, moronic, psycho pseudobears who almost all have chlamydia. Oh, and their favorite food is poisonous, but they're so stubborn and dumb, they won't find anything new to eat. If you're going to be racist towards any animal, pick THAT ONE.
An episode of a children's show episode being named after racial tension and featuring O.J. Simpson is maybe one of the funniest things I've ever seen.
In relation to the whole "Walrus Racism" thing Its a direct reference to the short story "The Walrus and the Carpenter" where the Walrus killed and ate an entire family of oysters after deceiving them into believing they we're gonna go on a merry adventure and then grab a bite to eat not knowing that THEY we're the ones going to be food.

Probably a bit of a controversial take, but this show had my all-time FAVOURITE depictions of the Mad Hatter and March Hare. Being a kids show, they needed to portray the two's eccentrics without having them come off as insane, and I think they managed to pull it off in a way that made the two just silly and eccentric enough to not only not be annoying, but also help them stand out in a cast of other eccentrics.

Patrick Richwood was the real MVP. Imagine spending three hours in makeup every single day, then having to do all your work in a hot, cumbersome suit while on roller-blades -- which you had no prior experience with.
I love how Alice is just a girl who brings her friends in wonderland together while her friends invite a possible murderer over and act racist towards walruses
I have seen every Alice adaptation under the sun (with an English translation available) and this one remains one of my favorites - the episodes were always so creative without undermining the source material. They never lose the “whimsy” and nonsense even though they made very cohesive storylines
@@tysargent9647 I think there was some sort of insect related kid's movie in the 90's with Kevin Spacey, but I could be thinking of the insect related kid's movie from the 90's with Woody Allen.
Jacob Hill Kevin Spacey was the voice of Hopper in the Disney/Pixar film A Bug's Life. Woody Allen was in the DreamWorks film Antz. Both were released in 1998 and just over a month apart.
I've been watching this show on Disney+ recently, and it's really good. So I believe that the unaired episode is also the show's one episode to not be on Disney+, since it's locked away in the Disney Vault forever.
"Instead, it would take place in the hip world of the 1990's." Oh no "The episode, 'White Rabbit Can't Jump,' would guest star football icon and alleged murderer, O. J. Simpson." *O h n o*
I loved this show as a kid. I even used to sing along with the songs. My two fave episodes were the techno bunny one and the pretzel machine one. I even used to own the VHS tapes and read the OJ Simpson book. I’m so happy to see it on Disney+ now.
I used to love this show. Absolutely deserves the high honor of fitting reasonably into a description that includes "alongside Kermit the Frog and Mr. Rogers."
And I can confirm it's 100% real. I remember watching this on regular (not cable) TV as a kid. The Mad Hatter was always the stand out character for me.
Ho-lee-crap. This show actually existed. Guys you don’t understand. I watched this show. But at the very edge of my memory. I seriously thought it was a fever dream or a delusion. I was born on or abouts when this show first aired. This is mind boggling to me. It means what I think are my very earliest memories actually are. This is very cool and weird.
Oh I understand completely! This is definitely one of my earliest memories looking at it again for the first time in 25 years is so surreal to me. The whole thing is like a dream and looking at the show now it seems like one strange dream anyways so it just added onto me thinking this has got to be a dream of mine not reality but it was it is! I understand what you mean about it being so very cool but weird at the same time. Also makes me feel melancholic cause it means I've gotten so old now not a little girl anymore 😥
This is one of those things that I never actively watched but I remember a trip to the hospital where the Waiting room TV was playing some weird Alice in Wonderland adaptation. Had no idea what movie/show it was for the longest time, but I had one particular memory about it: The caterpillar being large and green in this version. .......This video singlehandedly dredged up this repressed memory.....
I was born in 1992 and some of my earliest memories are of watching this show at my great-aunts house. One of the first nightmares I ever had was because of this show. I remember that dream so well. even though it happened over 20 years ago. The mad-hatter got shot.
Well, you can check this one off the list, because on Friday, April 30th, it's coming to Disney Plus in the USA!!! EDIT: Right now, only the first season has been confirmed to be added. Don't know about the remaining seasons, but it's pretty doubtful so far. You'll have to resort to TeaForTen for those episodes.

I thought that 2010s Alice wasn’t dark enough and that’s why it didn’t live to its potential. 😂 It seemed too family friendly posing as “dark” by using a dark-toned palette and having Avril Lavigne sing a song.
I'd also like to point out, this scene changes March Hare's "now that we're friends, we'll hold it for you" from a joke about him misunderstanding a turn of phrase into some real thug shit.
I love the design of the Chesshire Cat. Very crafty and adorable. This show clearly had some wild ideas and a terrific cast! Great job on this video. RIP to Armelia MCQueen! Hope that this show makes a comeback someday!
When I was a very small child OJ before the “incident” came to a party my uncle threw and gave all of us kids actual ninja weapons; this was the second strangest thing he’d done until I found out about this.
This unlocked a deep memory! I definitely saw this show when I was little and I remember loving it. I definitely had a pattern of being drawn to anything with a musical theater-like premise. I remember that I LOVED this red queen. Her costume is burned into my memory and she was my favorite character.
Me before watching the video: Wow, I've never heard of this show, but that puppet Cheshire Cat and White Rabbit guy look creepy. Me after watching the video: *MUST BREAK INTO DISNEY VAULT TO GRAB OJ EPISODE NOW*
The White Rabbit was actually one of the more fun and relatable characters, but the Cheshire Cat puppetry was a little creepy, certainly. Especially how he was fading in and out of places, and the interactions with the Cat always seemed... off somehow (Which was due to the green screening. The cat was never actually present on set during principal filming so the actors had to take the cue of basically 'the cat is floating up around here' and act to the air, so that's probably why).
We had basic cable when I was growing up so, like any other Disney deprived kid, I waited for our cable company to give us one week of Disney Channel for free every year. When I was in 6th grade I used to wake up early to watch Adventures in Wonderland before school. I loved this show.
I had completely forgotten this existed but the minute I saw the rabbit on roller blades I had such a visceral flashback to watching this as a kid. Remembering this feels like realizing I was watching Candle Cove.
Same. My chest got tight as it triggered the deep, deep down repressed anxiety of mentally preparing to go to the hellscape of 6th grade…..at 5AM….in the pitch black winter mornings.
@@daniellasloane8410 I can't believe someone else mentioned how this show triggered school anxiety! 😂 That's one thing I remembered MOST about this show! When it would end, I'd get a sick feeling in my stomach knowing I'd have to leave for school..so as much as I loved the show and would watch it every morning before 5th grade, it's now associated with my very first panic attacks! So much so that I still feel anxiety thinking about just the show itself. I'm sure there's a bunch of us though that had a bad time at school and watched this before going. We should form a club.
OH, GOD. Until I saw this pop up in my recommendeds, I had completely forgotten that I used to watch this show constantly as a kid. It's like I totally repressed it and it all came flooding back when I saw the thumbnail. Holy shit, thanks for unlocking all of these memories for me! This show was fantastic and I loved it so much. I have no idea how I forgot it so thoroughly.
I’ve had three strokes and regularly forget things that have happened in my life or why I’ve walked in a room, but damn if I didn’t start singing that theme song when it popped up. As always, thanks for the entertaining and educational trip down memory lane.
I was obsessed with this show as a kid. It’s so good and diverse and creative. Also now as a 32-year-old I really want Alice’s outfit she has in the title sequence. That pink jacket is 💯 my vibe. I’m also realizing I think I had a crush on the Hatter. Which honestly checks out for me.

is it not though? even whats most commonly known as a "fursuit" is in fact a costume. its a suit made of synthetic fur, ergo a fursuit.
Rest in peace, Armelia McQueen.
they really called the episode “white rabbits can’t jump” huh.
Just a play off the movie title from that same time period, they probably didnt think that deeply into it
But he's a rabbit.
Well it's not racist to make fun of white people. Had the done an episode of, " Black rabbits can't swim." Then THAT would've set people off.
@@I_like_turtles_67 fact
@@I_like_turtles_67 Yeah it's almost like institutional racism (the joke about black people not being able to swim originates from slavery when slave masters forbade slaves from learning to swim lest they try to escape) is VASTLY different from white people having their feelings hurt. Just saying...
Patrick Richwood was the real MVP. Imagine spending three hours in makeup every single day, then having to do all your work in a hot, cumbersome suit while on roller-blades -- which you had no prior experience with.
I love how Alice is just a girl who brings her friends in wonderland together while her friends invite a possible murderer over and act racist towards walruses
I have seen every Alice adaptation under the sun (with an English translation available) and this one remains one of my favorites - the episodes were always so creative without undermining the source material. They never lose the “whimsy” and nonsense even though they made very cohesive storylines
"If the bunny suit don't fit, you must acquit."
Ughh Furries...
@@aturchomicz821 hey
Thank you. You just made my night.
Carson D ughh edgelord* fixed your wording bud
The O.J episode/book REALLY reads like a fanfiction that someone would write in middle school
Well, I guess it’s a good thing the episode never saw the light of day then, right (besides the whole ‘guest-starring an infamous murderer’ part)?
That'd be like a children's show featuring Kevin Spacey as a guest star.
@@tysargent9647 I think there was some sort of insect related kid's movie in the 90's with Kevin Spacey, but I could be thinking of the insect related kid's movie from the 90's with Woody Allen.
Jacob Hill Kevin Spacey was the voice of Hopper in the Disney/Pixar film A Bug's Life. Woody Allen was in the DreamWorks film Antz. Both were released in 1998 and just over a month apart.

I've been watching this show on Disney+ recently, and it's really good. So I believe that the unaired episode is also the show's one episode to not be on Disney+, since it's locked away in the Disney Vault forever.
Now, that mention of Shelley Duval's Fairy Tale Theater really takes me back. The Snow White episode was my favorite.
"Instead, it would take place in the hip world of the 1990's."
Oh no
"The episode, 'White Rabbit Can't Jump,' would guest star football icon and alleged murderer, O. J. Simpson."

Dear God.
Oh, yikes!
"White Rabbits Can't Jump" - I mean, have you tried jumping in rollerblades?!
_"How about a door mouse?!"_ ;D
- _"How about some privacy?"_ :[
Why did that line make me snort laugh?
Because it's a good line.
I loved this show as a kid. I even used to sing along with the songs. My two fave episodes were the techno bunny one and the pretzel machine one. I even used to own the VHS tapes and read the OJ Simpson book. I’m so happy to see it on Disney+ now.
"Techno Bunny also wore rollerblades"
Glad we were able to address that, Would've lost sleep if I didn't hear it.
“Doin’ the mannequin!”
Doesn’t that get you kicked out of department stores?
Asking for a friend...
mhoward0527 I'm more concerned what that mannequin has been through. If you catch my drift.
Only if you get caught.
Just wear sunglasses and... oh nevermind you're good.
Dang.....your heads in the gutter m8te. Then again I don't blame you. Until I read it I thought it was a simple goofy dance......Curse my mind....
he put his dingle in the mannequin's pergus
I used to love this show. Absolutely deserves the high honor of fitting reasonably into a description that includes "alongside Kermit the Frog and Mr. Rogers."
Mark Mothersbaugh's music is always joy inducing!!! His name in the opening credits of any show gets me super excited ❤
This is the single most 90s show I’ve seen in my life
And I can confirm it's 100% real. I remember watching this on regular (not cable) TV as a kid. The Mad Hatter was always the stand out character for me.
I was so much happier before I knew that this nightmare existed.
Isnt it great! This was my shit as a kid!
I somehow forgot this show existed
@@MrBigDub wow, I wonder if you saw it on ABC or something
Ho-lee-crap. This show actually existed.
Guys you don’t understand. I watched this show. But at the very edge of my memory. I seriously thought it was a fever dream or a delusion. I was born on or abouts when this show first aired. This is mind boggling to me. It means what I think are my very earliest memories actually are.
This is very cool and weird.
I had the same reaction until I saw the op on RUclips a few years ago.
Michael Anderson sane same same! I’m happy I found it and I wasn’t just imagining it
Oh I understand completely! This is definitely one of my earliest memories looking at it again for the first time in 25 years is so surreal to me. The whole thing is like a dream and looking at the show now it seems like one strange dream anyways so it just added onto me thinking this has got to be a dream of mine not reality but it was it is! I understand what you mean about it being so very cool but weird at the same time. Also makes me feel melancholic cause it means I've gotten so old now not a little girl anymore 😥
This is one of those things that I never actively watched but I remember a trip to the hospital where the Waiting room TV was playing some weird Alice in Wonderland adaptation.
Had no idea what movie/show it was for the longest time, but I had one particular memory about it: The caterpillar being large and green in this version.
.......This video singlehandedly dredged up this repressed memory.....
I was born in 1992 and some of my earliest memories are of watching this show at my great-aunts house. One of the first nightmares I ever had was because of this show. I remember that dream so well. even though it happened over 20 years ago. The mad-hatter got shot.
Rest In Peace, Armelia McQueen. Always and forever our Red Queen of Hearts.
OJ Simpson, star of unaired Adventures in Wonderland episode “White Rabbits Can’t Jump” has passed away today.
Good riddance
Boy, my wishlist of "Shows I Wish Was on Disney +" just keeps growing.
"Shows I Wish Was Available for FREE" to mine.
Well, you can check this one off the list, because on Friday, April 30th, it's coming to Disney Plus in the USA!!! EDIT: Right now, only the first season has been confirmed to be added. Don't know about the remaining seasons, but it's pretty doubtful so far. You'll have to resort to TeaForTen for those episodes.
@@EntertainmentFan11 It’s out now, and it turns out that all 99 episodes are on Disney+! (All put under one season weirdly enough)
Wish granted.
This Tweedledee and Tweedledum is the most 90’s thing I’ve ever seen
Anon E. Mousse Tom Petty made a music video inspired by “Alice In Wonderland.”
Still a better show based on MC Hammer than Hammerman, lol
LOL
Early 90s, what a time.
They rocked. Loved their matching vests.
I have now watched three of these DefunctTV episodes just in one evening, and the brain cells in the nineties section of my brain are LIT.
"I'm supposed to write a story about an interesting thing, and look what I have so far, nothing, zip, not a word." The people who wrote the script for Lion King 2019.
"If we faithfully would have brought it from Lewis Carroll it would have been really stylized and a lot darker. Who wants to watch that?"
Hey that doesn't sound too ba....
*2010 Alice in Wonderland flashbacks*
.......Nevermind
@@jaredarmstrong992 it was fine as is imo. it was dark yet whimsical ya know like the book. look up the old live action movie from think the 70s with the dragon thing trying to break out of the mirror,... that was nightmare fuel.
I thought it was awesome. I don't get why people hate it.
I thought that 2010s Alice wasn’t dark enough and that’s why it didn’t live to its potential. 😂 It seemed too family friendly posing as “dark” by using a dark-toned palette and having Avril Lavigne sing a song.
That's your problem, you're thinking 2010 Alice rather than classic Alice but with a tone closer to Black Cauldron.
it wasnt stylized nor dark... so we still havent gotten that. Burton is fairly overrated because of a couple decent movies.
The Moral of Pie Noon: "Be the bigger person, but roll deep."
I'd also like to point out, this scene changes March Hare's "now that we're friends, we'll hold it for you" from a joke about him misunderstanding a turn of phrase into some real thug shit.
OMG.
Ah yes, my favorite Wonderland Characters. MC's Hammer and Hummer.
I love the design of the Chesshire Cat. Very crafty and adorable. This show clearly had some wild ideas and a terrific cast! Great job on this video. RIP to Armelia MCQueen! Hope that this show makes a comeback someday!
Me: **squints at thumbnail** "Do I remember this?"
Me: **sees the Red Queen kiss that flamingo** "Holy shit I DO remember this!"
This is exactly my experience. And it’s kind of freaking me out, because I was born the year this show first aired.
lol! Same here, @Tiara Azmalan!
I use to watch this show all of the time, even though most of the characters gave me the creeps.
Not gonna lie, I remember this show and I think I liked it as a kid, but I was pretty oblivious as a kid so I prolly missed a ton of shit
Once I saw the mad hatter I knew I've seen this before.
Also, was the march hare doing blackface?
As soon as I saw that Red Queen set I remembered, holy shit man.
When I was a very small child OJ before the “incident” came to a party my uncle threw and gave all of us kids actual ninja weapons; this was the second strangest thing he’d done until I found out about this.
Phillip very much the real OJ! haha
what kind of Ninja Weapons?
But alleged murder has gotta be up on the list somewhere....
I'm so happy this video exists, we had this show on a random VHS in my house and I would rewatch it like 70 times it felt like it was a fever dream!
Back when we'd only get Disney channel for free for a week this was one of my favorite shows.
Ok but the invisible character Pinniped is a pun on Pinnipedia, the scientific name for seals and walruses. 10/10
That's kinda clever.
I hope there's an online wiki dedicated exclusively to sea mammals that's also called Pinnipedia.

racial slurs are pretty in line with the beatles, actually
I love how this show is full of super-talented individuals but is super uncanny to look at..
The cat especially was terrifying..
This unlocked a deep memory! I definitely saw this show when I was little and I remember loving it. I definitely had a pattern of being drawn to anything with a musical theater-like premise. I remember that I LOVED this red queen. Her costume is burned into my memory and she was my favorite character.
I had a tape with a couple episodes of it I loved as a kid. I still remember that one episode with the pretzels. Mmmm…pretzels…
'One episode never aired'
Oh they must have had a copyright issue or something...

“But one episode would be removed by Disney”

“It guest stars OJ Si- “
Ah
I wonder if it’s possible to do a Kids Incorporated one. 9 seasons, different casts, so many songs & all the nostalgia we can muster!~! 🥰😊
Yes
What an incredible retrospective! I remember watching reruns of this show when I was a kid. A great show with an incredible cast.
Me before watching the video: Wow, I've never heard of this show, but that puppet Cheshire Cat and White Rabbit guy look creepy.
Me after watching the video: *MUST BREAK INTO DISNEY VAULT TO GRAB OJ EPISODE NOW*
The White Rabbit was actually one of the more fun and relatable characters, but the Cheshire Cat puppetry was a little creepy, certainly. Especially how he was fading in and out of places, and the interactions with the Cat always seemed... off somehow (Which was due to the green screening. The cat was never actually present on set during principal filming so the actors had to take the cue of basically 'the cat is floating up around here' and act to the air, so that's probably why).
wait, the walrus's actor sounds familiar
edit: THAT'S GODDAMN OOGIE BOOGIE!
Also the alligator from All Dogs Go to Heaven.
Oogie Boogie? Shrek?
he was also in Cats on broadway
@@stevehefferan56709 let me guess: old deuteronomy
You never edited this comment.
We had basic cable when I was growing up so, like any other Disney deprived kid, I waited for our cable company to give us one week of Disney Channel for free every year. When I was in 6th grade I used to wake up early to watch Adventures in Wonderland before school. I loved this show.
I miss this show, and I miss being little. I watched this show religiously. I've had the theme song in my head for 30 years!! ❤❤❤
“It would be really stylized and a lot darker. Who would watch that?” *inserts horrifying Cheshire puppet*
* American McGee's Alice in Wonderland intensifies
Tim Burton has left the chat.
I literally said "Me" out loud.
RikFTK Darn it, I was gonna say that lol
That thing is disturbing, and I love most puppets
I had completely forgotten this existed but the minute I saw the rabbit on roller blades I had such a visceral flashback to watching this as a kid. Remembering this feels like realizing I was watching Candle Cove.
Same, saw him in the opening theme movie.
Same.
My chest got tight as it triggered the deep, deep down repressed anxiety of mentally preparing to go to the hellscape of 6th grade…..at 5AM….in the pitch black winter mornings.
@@daniellasloane8410 I can't believe someone else mentioned how this show triggered school anxiety! 😂 That's one thing I remembered MOST about this show! When it would end, I'd get a sick feeling in my stomach knowing I'd have to leave for school..so as much as I loved the show and would watch it every morning before 5th grade, it's now associated with my very first panic attacks! So much so that I still feel anxiety thinking about just the show itself.
I'm sure there's a bunch of us though that had a bad time at school and watched this before going. We should form a club.
@@LadyBeyondTheWall there's dozens of us!!!
I remember viewing some of the ALICE IN WONDERLAND video cassettes. They were rented from the local library.
I remember watching this when I was little. I LOVED it! I remember my favorite show was Under The Umbrella Tree.
I wonder if DefunctTV has an episode on that? Just saw a small scene from his video on the Big Comfy Couch.
I remember that one too!
OH, GOD. Until I saw this pop up in my recommendeds, I had completely forgotten that I used to watch this show constantly as a kid. It's like I totally repressed it and it all came flooding back when I saw the thumbnail. Holy shit, thanks for unlocking all of these memories for me! This show was fantastic and I loved it so much. I have no idea how I forgot it so thoroughly.
I am the exact same!!!
Same here!
SAME SAME! My thoughts exactly!
Same here!
I know, right? I used to watch this every morning!
I’ve had three strokes and regularly forget things that have happened in my life or why I’ve walked in a room, but damn if I didn’t start singing that theme song when it popped up. As always, thanks for the entertaining and educational trip down memory lane.
I was obsessed with this show as a kid. It’s so good and diverse and creative. Also now as a 32-year-old I really want Alice’s outfit she has in the title sequence. That pink jacket is 💯 my vibe. I’m also realizing I think I had a crush on the Hatter. Which honestly checks out for me.
Me too!! I loved this show when I was a kid. I used to record the show on VHS tapes. I still have the tapes. Nostalgia.😌😌
I had a tape of this show with a couple episodes. I still remember the one with the pretzels.
This sounds like the kind of show that would be hilarious to watch whilst inebriated
