Watch SNL's Ana Gasteyer Come to Alice's Wonderland Bakery (Exclusive)
Saturday Night Live veteran Ana Gasteyer is coming to Alice's Wonderland Bakery on Disney Channel this weekend, appearing in the episode as Kiki the bubble-blowing caterpillar. In keeping with the generational feel of the show, Kiki is a descendant of the familiar caterpillar from the classic Alice in Wonderland movie, and we meet her perched atop a mushroom in the Tulgey Wood. The episode is full of winks and nods to the beloved original. Disney Channel has provided ComicBook.com with an exclusive look into the episode. The clip features Gasteyer's character and introduces her to Alice and company.
In the episode, when Rosa needs to find some missing sights and creatures to use in her mural of Wonderland, Alice enlists the Cheshire Cat to help track them down. Together, they meet many new faces of Wonderland along their way, including a bubble blowing caterpillar named Kiki, who is a descendant of the original caterpillar from the classic story.
