There’s always something happening at the Hat House!

Hello everyone! My name is Rachel and welcome to my AiW blog! Here you'll find a collection of artwork, findings and musings for Disney's Adventures in Wonderland.

My main blog is @rachel1987 and if you’d like to know more about me, you can check out my intro page here.

You can watch full episodes of AiW with a subscription on D+ or for free on TeaforTen’s Youtube channel ((or the Internet Archive)). TeaforTen’s blog is also a great place for more info on the show, as well as to view production content.

If you’re interested in my fan content for the show, you can locate a lot of it under the MyArt tag as well as my full gallery on devART. My Youtube channel also has some speed-draws of the artwork you’ll find here. If you like fanfiction, you can find my works on Ao3 and FF.net.

Through 2023-2024 I’m doing a full watch through of the series and making posts about it. If you’d like to check that out, please look at my #Wonderland Watchthrough tag!

NEW: For the 31st anniversary I’ve compiled all of the songs from the show on a drive that you can find here. 

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you around the Hat house!

To the people who have showered my blog with likes lately,

Don't think that I don't appreciate you, I'm just socially awkward. :D

2-Week Hiatus Announcement!

My sister is getting married tomorrow and I'm out of town the weekend of the 4th. The final 12 episode stretch will begin on May 17th with Untwist of Fate and Queen's Best Friend!

Home stretch, babyyyy!!~

88. Pie Noon.

All I can say is, thank HEAVENS for Gilbert Gottfried. He's a little ray of sunshine and brings a smile to my face every time in this episode. I kiss him, I hug him, I want to put him in my pocket.

This is a tricky episode to look at when you're trying to consider it advice for dealing with bullies. He tries to get support from his friends and they are all too scared to help. They tell Hare to go to an authority figure for help and she straight up tells him that it's his problem and he has to deal with it on his own. It's such a circumstantial problem that there's no way that this episode can work as an educational experience.

Also, I think it's weird that they go the whole episode talking about how Mike McNasty is bad because he throws pies, then in the end Queenie pies Willie! For no reason! Queenie! That's bully behavior!? What is this episode?!

It's a favorite but it also is just so ludicrous.

87. Gratitude Adjustment.

This is one of the episodes that I often forget. It's fine, just really not memorable. Hatter and Hare have a punchy little song in it. Armelia gets to play her own mom. *shrugs*

I did find it funny that even Queenie’s mom finds Hatter attractive.

This does have one of my favorite Tweedle songs though! I have a very similar feeling about leftovers. No thank youuuuu.....

86. Take the Bunny and Run.

Probably the meanest Duchess episode of them all. This is the one that I think is the most memorable out of all of her episodes. We get that she and Queenie are frenemies, but Rabbit did nothing to her to deserve this treatment.

I had an idea for this episode before I even watched the episode again. It didn't come out exactly as I'd planned, but at least I pushed myself to do something out of in comfort zone.

I hope Rabbit got some time off after this. He was really put through the wringer.

85. Just the Fax, Ma'am.

This episode feels like after filming with the Duchess for two weeks, they needed to give her an introductory episode. I guess it does to show that they didn't have the intention to air the shows in the order they were filmed.

The real gem of this episode is, of course, the fax machine. I had to draw it, I just had to. Growing up in the 90's, I don't remember anyone having and using a personal fax machine. Maybe my grandparents, but that was because my grandma worked from home as a court reporter. A personal fax feels so high tech and extravagant for the time, which matches Queenie of course.

I was thinking while watching that if this were to be remade now, she's be checking Twitter or TikTok. Or she signed up for a newsletter and was auto-subscribed to other affiliates and just didn't look at who the email was from. I dunno. What I mean to say is that the story could still be done now and end up in equal hilarity. ^^;

Daydreaming about an AiW opening to this music.

I have no idea what this show is, but I’m digging the tunes. This is my first time seeing anything about it. I guess it’s a show coming to Disneyland Paris. Good for them.

84. The Royalty Trap.

This is when they decided that the Duchess was going to have a plain old mean streak. This and "Take the Bunny and Run" is when she's at her most cruel, I think.

Having said that, there's this moment in the middle when she's helping Caterpillar get ready to be on television? I have no idea why she does it, it doesn't really seem like something she'd do. Unless maybe she and he go back a while. I know it was just a way to shoehorn in Caterpillar's storytime, but still. So I decided to illustrate it.

On a side note, I love "Department of Missing Royalty". It has my favorite long pan and camera work from the whole series. You can tell that it was all handheld and I just... I enjoy it too much.

Does anyone else think that Patrick nearly flubs his "Hop Diamond" line? I swear he's about to say "Hope Diamond" but stops himself...

83. Bunny, Can You Spare a Dime?

Oh, this episode had some goofy stuff in it. It’s one of my new favorites! (I’m looking at you, ghost Caterpillar.)

Here are some notes I took while watching the episode:

I feel like I’ve been spending too much recently too, which is what prompted the picture for this episode's picture. This song was drifting around TY before the episode rereleased on D+, so it's always been one of my favorite Rabbit songs. It's so snappy and Patrick performed it perfectly. I'll probably print this sticker design at some point to remind me to be better with my spending/saving. ^^;
