Pludselig farer en kanin forbi den halvsovende Alice. Utroligt peger den på sit ur, og Alice kan se, at det haster og kryber nysgerrigt ind i hullet, hvor kaninen forsvandt. Her begynder Walt Disneys fantastiske fortolkning af Lewis Carolls udødelige fortælling om pigen, som af ren nysgerrighed havner i Eventyrland. Lokket ind i en verden, hvor hun møder det ene forunderlige væsen efter det andet. Tvilling Di og Dum hører til den blide slags. Et forvirret teselskab hos Den Gale Hattemager gør, at hun for alvor undrer sig over, hvor hun er. Da Alice senere møder den berygtede Hjerter Dame, er hun overbevist om, at i denne verden findes der kun et eneste fornuftigt væsen, og det er hende selv.
Historien om Alice, som falder i et kaninhul og havner i et eventyrland, er en hyldest til fantasien og har underholdt en hel verden siden 1865. 30 gange er bogen blevet filmatiseret, men det er først nu - takket være nutidens utrolige teknik - at man har kunnet gøre Lewis Carrols fantastiske figurer og omgivelser ret.
