Lovable characters, beautiful locations and references to a classic film take center stage in this excellent show. Fans of all ages are bound to love this series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Alice\u2019s Wonderland Bakery<\/em> follows Alice (Libby Rue) who is a young baker in the world of Wonderland. Alice goes on several adventures with her friends, Hattie (Cj Uy) and Fergie (Jack Stanton). The trio resemble the personalities of their ancestors, Alice, the Mad Hatter, and the White Rabbit from the classic tale <em>Alice in Wonderland<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Alicewonderlandbakery.c.jpg?resize=225%2C127&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8620\" width=\"225\" height=\"127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Alicewonderlandbakery.c.jpg?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Alicewonderlandbakery.c.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Alicewonderlandbakery.c.jpg?resize=768%2C432&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Alicewonderlandbakery.c.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The series has such fun-loving characters, each a \u201crockstar\u201d in their own right, with vivid \u00a0personalities and a developed character arc. Even though they mirror iconic characters from the classic <em>Alice in Wonderland<\/em>, they are not carbon copies\u2014that means some refreshing twists as we see these new kids grow and learn their way around this topsy turvy town. Alice is a bright, spunky, and modern version of Alice from the 1951 film. My favorite character is definitely Hattie\u2014he\u2019s very fun to watch\u2014not always fitting the stereotype of what a \u201cMad Hatter\u201d is, growing into his own, but proud of his heritage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignright size-medium is-resized\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/alicewonderlandbakery.b.jpg?resize=150%2C150&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8621\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/alicewonderlandbakery.b.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/alicewonderlandbakery.b.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.kidsfirst.org\/kidsfirstnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/alicewonderlandbakery.b.jpg?w=360&amp;ssl=1 360w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The songs on the soundtrack to the series move the storylines along perfectly\u2014no doubt sure to be a hit, with young children soon to be bopping along to the melodies. The animation is spectacular\u2014every strand of hair is visible on Alice\u2019s head just like the fur on Fergie. The visuals of bright colors, abstract patterns and unusual architecture add to the world building of the Wonderland that fans all around the world are familiar with. It\u2019s as if the show picks up with Alice exactly where the movie left off in 1951 and nothing since has changed. This series is <em>perfect<\/em>, reminding fans why they fell in love with the original film, engaging audiences to watch every last second of every episode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme of <em>Alice\u2019s Wonderland Bakery <\/em>is to follow your dreams. Alice loves baking with her whole heart and is regarded as the best baker in Wonderland. Even as things don\u2019t go her way all the time, Alice never gives up baking, and sometimes solves her problems by baking delicious cakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I give <em>Alice\u2019s Wonderland Bakery <\/em>5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 7 to 12, and older. It premieres February 9, 2022 on Disney Junior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alice&#8217;s Wonderland Bakery is a vibrant new take on the classic 1951 Alice in Wonderland film.
