White Rabbit (disambiguation)for other, similarly-named pages.
The White Rabbit was a talking, white rabbit carrying a fob watch who resided in Wonderland. He also appeared as a character in Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland, and in this capacity, a version of him existed in the Land of Fiction.
Biography
The Rabbit was documented in Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll, in which a girl named Alice followed the White Rabbit into Wonderland. (AUDIO: The Axis of Insanity)
A century prior to 1973, the White Rabbit and the Mock Turtle decided to try and escape Wonderland aboard a machine resembling a Jabberwocky. Before they'd dug their way out to the surface, however, the ship halted and put them in stasis, from which they only awoke a hundred years later when Iris Wildthyme and Panda found their vehicle under the tube. The Rabbit didn't trust the land dwellers, but, coming from the 19th century, he loved how fast British society had become by 1973. He was ultimately killed by the Ministry for Alien Incursions and Ontological Wonders. (AUDIO: The Land of Wonder)
Legacy
When a personal reality warp sent Peri Brown into a version of Alice in Wonderland with herself as Alice, she encountered a version of the White Rabbit resembling the Sixth Doctor. (COMIC: Salad Daze)
Saying "white rabbit" before anything else on the first of the month was meant to be good luck. (AUDIO: Brave New Town)
When playing chess in Fenric's keep, the Seventh Doctor let the black and white aspects take over his thoughts, muttering about black cats and white rabbits. (AUDIO: Gods and Monsters)
In the Land of Fiction
When Zoe Heriot was lost in the Forest of Words during her first visit to the Land of Fiction, she suddenly found herself dressed as Alice and living through parts of her adventure. She glimpsed a flustered white rabbit scuttering by and checking its pocket-watch. (PROSE: The Mind Robber)
Behind the scenes
Lewis Carroll's White Rabbit was voiced by Michael Sheen in the 2010 film version of Alice in Wonderland, and by Alan Cumming in the 2014 Dora the Explorer special, Dora in Wonderland.
