Adventures in Wonderland

I'm actually listening to the interview now at 6:18 PM, March (Hare!) 1st, 2012, to be exact. It's both interesting and hilarious!

I know, right? It's amazing how they haven't seen each other in years yet still have such great chemistry together.

I just love how they were bouncing one-liners off each other! John would make a comment, and Reece would burst out laughing! They were like the and of AIW!

And I love how it was brought up that the most popular fan question was "How did the Hatter and Hare meet?" because I was one of the fans who first asked it, lol.

Another favorite part of mine is when Richard Kuhlman joins the conversation, and talks about the team used to puppeteer the Cheshire Cat. I laughed my head off when he said the servos for the eyes would go crazy, and the eyes would pop out and richochet around the room!

And I loved his story about how he almost messed up the audition until he took a chance and asked for another try. Very inspirational.

Yeah, and he thought Walt would be spinning in his grave!

Lol, yeah I remember that. And I know he mentioned appearing as himself in one episode. I actually have that one on VHS. It's called "Noses Off" and he appears as a newspaper photographer. Actually even before I heard this interview I kind of had a feeling that was him because of the way the character talks about the Cheshire Cat in the episode. Almost like a wink wink in joke, hehe.

Sadly, Noses Off is not on YouTube, at least I think...

Yeah that's one of the episodes on the VHS called "The Missing Ring Mystery." It's pretty much always on Amazon and Ebay.

I found this analysis of the original Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking Glass books and I really liked what they said about the Mad Hatter and March Hare. I think that characterization was definitely carried on into the AIW series:

"The participants in the Mad Tea Party are some of the most famous characters in the Alice books, perhaps because they are fond of puns and jokes, or perhaps simply because they're rude. And by contrasting their rudeness, clumsiness, and silliness with the usual propriety and organization of a normal Victorian tea party, Carroll makes us realize that rudeness might actually be better than stuffiness."
