Alice in Wonderland

Question: Why is it that everyone is in the exact same position at the gazebo when Alice left to follow McTwisp when Alice returns? Clearly, some time has passed while she was in Wonderland, so it's confusing how it would still be the same day at around the same time.

Answer: It could be time moves differently in Wonderland, than in the real world. In many time machine movies, the Hero goes off on his adventures, then returns as if no time has passed.

Question: Why does Alice dance briefly at the end after returning to the regular world?

Sammi

Chosen answer: She is proving a point that she is not going to follow the boundaries of English society, the Mad Hatter futer-wagoned, that was where she got the moves. It also showed the crowd that she wasn't wearing stockings.

Deliberate mistake: When Alice jumps on the dog and they start running, her dress and her hand-band suddenly changed side. Probably they mirrored the image, and instead of going left as directed, it felt more accurate to go right.

Trivia: Alice's impending battle on the "frabjous day" with a creature referred to as a "Jabberwocky" is a central plot point, and refers to Lewis Carroll's famous poem "Jabberwocky," from which other characters in the film, such as the Jubjub bird and Bandersnatch, are derived. However, the titular creature of the poem "Jabberwocky" was NOT a Jabberwocky, but a Jabberwock. For whatever reason, the writers of the film chose to call it by the [admittedly similar] title of the poem instead of the actual name of the creature. (For the full text of the poem, see http://www.jabberwocky.com/carroll/jabber/jabberwocky.html).
