Disney's film adapts Carroll's two Alice books together, taking the White Rabbit, the pool of tears, the caucus race, the caterpillar, the Cheshire Cat, the tea party and the trial from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, and Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Walrus and the Carpenter and the talking flowers from Through the Looking-Glass. The merge is the adaptation's main decision and it is why the film has no plot to speak of: the books are episodic by design and the film keeps that rather than imposing a quest. Carroll's nonsense verse is largely kept, set as song lyrics.
