Dodos are a species featured in the extended universe of ABC's Once Upon a Time. They are native to Wonderland, and first appear, with their only appearance, in the graphic fiction novel, Out of the Past.
Dodos are based on the Dodo from the novel, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, the Dodo from the animated Disney film Alice in Wonderland, and Uilleam from the live-action Disney film Alice in Wonderland.
History
In Wonderland, the Dodo is strolling down a road when he stops to greet Jefferson, who asks him directions to a mansion of a well-to-do figure. The Dodo nervously states he must take the left path, and just as Jefferson thanks him and prepares to leave, the Dodo warns him not go because the house belongs to the sadist March Hare, who wears a hat out of the hares he has hunted. Brushing off the Dodo's words, Jefferson continues on, believing he himself will be fine since he isn't a hare. ("Out of the Past")
Years later, during the reign of the Red Queen, a peasant presses her about grievances, one of which being that her Jubjub ate his Dodo. ("Trust Me")
Trivia
On-Screen Notes
- Contrary to Lewis Carroll's original book, the Dodo is not a unique creature. In "Trust Me," a peasant says that the Red Queen's Jubjub ate his Dodo.
Fairytales and Folklore
- The appearance of the Dodo is closely based on John Tenniel's illustration from the first edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (link to page).
Set Dressing
- In Emma's New York apartment, there is a poster by the famous book illustrator Arthur Rackham. The illustration is called "They all crowded round it panting and asking, “But who has won?”" and was created for a 1907 edition of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (link to page). It shows Alice surrounded by a group of creatures, including the Dodo. ("New York City Serenade")
