I wonder if the little girl even knew what movie the White Rabbit was from?

That's actually a very good question. Disney had a 7 year cycle for theatrical releases at this time. It's quite conceivable this girl had never seen "Alice". I wonder if they tied more obscure characters (B'rer Bear) to specific release dates, then pulled back on the character? Or uniformly promote thru the years and count of merchandising (like records) to carry interest.

You know I love a good Wonderland post. Alice had a long and fruitful TV career before its first re-release in 1974. It was on the Disneyland TV show 3 times, including the 2nd episode, and at least two more times during the show's various alternate title incarnations prior to 1974. And of course there's that whole attraction thingy starting in 1958...
