The film adheres to a traditional heteronormative framework. There is no discernible presence of non-cisnormative gender identities or same-sex intimacy.

Alice serves as a strong, high-agency protagonist who drives the plot. However, power dynamics remain somewhat traditional, with the Queen of Hearts operating through capricious authority.

The production utilizes a predominantly white, Anglo-Saxon cast to reflect its Victorian setting. There is an absence of color-blind casting or racial intersectionality.

The film explores surrealism and deconstructs linear logic through the Queen of Hearts. It lacks explicit anti-Western sentiment, focusing instead on whimsical fantasy.

Eccentric characters like the Caterpillar function as whimsical quirks rather than meaningful portrayals of neurodivergence. Their otherness serves the aesthetic of the dreamscape.
