Tossup

In a 1903 film that was partially restored by the BFI in 2010, a different character escapes this character’s house by waving a magic fan that causes her to fade from the frame. Another film ends with the title character stating “I think I’ll cut [this character]’s head off” while wielding the scissors this character uses as a weapon. In that film, this character commands an army of skeletal animals that all wear red jester’s hats (-5[1])and has a gaping hole in his stomach from which he bleeds (*) sawdust, which he is also frequently seen eating. Bill Thompson voiced this character in a 1951 animated film, where this character claims he has “no time to say hello, goodbye. I’m late, late, (10[1])late” before disappearing (10[1]-5[1])into a hole, where he (10[1])is pursued by the title character. For 10 (0[1])points, name this character that Alice follows into (10[1])Wonderland. ■END■
