Simple Sweet Take on Alice and Wonderland

Simple cute show with really no alterior motives or agenda to it. Though there is supposed to be a "problem solving" element to it it is really basic and provides little educational value. Over all the show is very cute and maintains all the wonderfilled and magical aspects of other Alice and Wonderland shows, without the creepy edge they usually dive into. Great introduction to Alice an Wonderland for younger kids. There is lots of sets and some of the traditional Alice slogans are mixed in, such as the unbirthday.

Really sweet!

This show is so whimsical and fun. The world is beautiful and my daughter loves the first few episodes! Alice is so sweet. Can’t wait for more.

What's the Story?

In ALICE'S WONDERLAND BAKERY, Alice in Wonderland's great-granddaughter creates magical confections as Wonderland's resident baker. She's joined by other descendants of Wonderland characters like Princess Rosa (in the Queen of Hearts royal lineage), Hattie (a young mad hatter), Fergie (a white rabbit), and the apparently immortal Cheshire Cat. Alice follows the recipes in Cookie, her great-grandmother's talking cookbook. Making sweets for occasions like un-birthday parties or Wonderland's picnics, Alice uses magical ingredients like upside-down pineapple powder, dancing dodo eggs, and tallcake. Along the way, Alice and her friends learn lessons about celebrating the everyday and how food can bring people together.

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (4 ):
Kids say (3 ):

Preschoolers who are into magic and fantasy will enjoy the whimsical characters and desserts in the imaginative Wonderland world. Alice's Wonderland Bakery mines author Lewis Carroll's treasure trove of source material and adds amazing sugary confections and Frozen-style musical numbers. While there's a lot of kid appeal in this show, parents may be disappointed in the heavy-handed focus on over-the-top desserts (inevitably leading to corresponding toys with the same emphasis). Parents may want to discuss how desserts can be wonderful sometimes treats, but that there are lots of other types of food that Alice and her friends could also be cooking. The show does have positive social-emotional themes, though the lessons are not very in-depth. Alice's Wonderland Bakery is a fun treat, but not one of Disney's standouts.
