I’ve seen tons of funny moments during my 800 hours playingDisney Dreamlight Valley. With itsAlice in Wonderlandupdate officially out, I expected some fever-dream-like moments, especially thinking aboutthatscene from the original movie. What I wasn’t expecting was a tiny, teapot-dwelling Alice to appear.
When you firstunlock and enter Alice’s realm, everything looks as normal as you’d expect in anAlice in Wonderlandworld. Sure, there are weird things everywhere, but you’re able to at least make sense of them. Well, mostly. It isn’t until you get toAlice’s third friendship questthat you see a hilarious—albeit sad—moment of a tiny Alice hiding in a teapot within her own home.
In the quest’s context, this is initially a funny moment that turns sad once you realize why she’s in this teapot. The mission starts with Alice being excessively happy, turning this moment into an unexpected twist that your character isn’t used to navigating. Until that realization hits, however, this tiny teapot and Alice combo can make just about anyone chuckle for a few minutes.
Imagine if this was a furniture item you could place in your house. It’d be a little messed up, but at least it’d also be funny. Maybe we’ll get a variation of it one day that doesn’t involve Alice herself sitting inside the teapot. You can even give her ice cream, which makes this even cuter and stranger despite her circumstances.
The Alice in Wonderland update, in general, is bizarre. Its introductory quest starts unlike any other before it, with a rabbit hopping around your village and leading you right to the realm’s secret entrance. From there, you’re met with singing flowers, pencil-headed birds, and tiny flowers that can magically transform into patterns on the floor. That’s not even mentioning theCheshire Cat’smagic, which makes for wacky antics throughout the Alice realm’s entire storyline.
Although it takes a while to find Alice and her tiny teapot, the story leading up to it is some of the strangest I’ve ever witnessed. Sure, it isn’t as lengthy and comprehensive as previous adventures in the Aladdin or Mulan realms. Despite that, it does include some interesting gameplay mechanics that prove just how differentAlice in Wonderlandis from other Disney works.
With all that said, a tiny Alice in a teapot is still one of the funniest things I’ve seen inDisney Dreamlight Valleyrecently, and I hope we see a lot more of this in future updates. You’ll have to finish the Alice in Wonderland realm storyline and a few of Alice’s friendship quests first, but it’s worth it if you want to experience this moment as well.
