White Rabbit

The White Rabbit is a character on ABC's Once Upon a Time in Wonderland. He débuts in the first episode of the first season and is voiced by John Lithgow. The White Rabbit is based on the character with the same name from "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".

History
The White Rabbit appears before the Knave of Hearts in Granny's Diner in Storybrooke exploding through a hole in the floor. He tells the Knave they are late, and when the Knave retorts he is not interested in any of the rabbit's dates, he informs the Knave they are late for Alice.

After freeing Alice, she and the Knave encounter the White Rabbit waiting for them beneath the asylum. The three of them, after briefly encountering Alice's doctor, run out of the asylum and into the city, chased by cops. When they reach a dead end, the rabbit digs a hole in the wall and jumps through into Wonderland. While he lands safely on a dock, the Knave and Alice land in a marshmellow pond. As they struggle, the rabbit states he will go get help, and runs off. He instead runs into the Red Queen, and it is revealed at her castle that it was at her instigation that the White Rabbit brought Alice back. She informs the White Rabbit that he must keep working for her, or he will end up as a furnishing in her castle. The rabbit runs back to meet the Knave and Alice after they encounter the Cheshire Cat in Tugley Woods, stating he had a whole army ready to help them.

As they make it to the Mad Hatter's house, the rabbit reveals the truth of his lie, stating that he did not see Cyrus, but rather the dormouse stated he saw him.

Trivia

 * The White Rabbit was originally to be voiced by Paul Reubens.
 * In the original 20 minute preview, the White Rabbit tells Alice he knows Cyrus is alive by showing her Cyrus's medallion and stating that if it survived the Boiling Sea, Cyrus must have too. This is changed in the actual premiere to have the rabbit state the dormouse said he saw Cyrus.
