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 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 into a hole, where he is pursued by the title character. For 10 points, name this character that Alice follows into Wonderland. ■END■

ANSWER: The White Rabbit [Accept any answer describing the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland or the rabbit from Alice; prompt on just rabbit; reject “Hare” or “March Hare”] (The first film is Alice in Wonderland by Cecil M. Hepworth and Percy Stow; the second is Alice by Jan Švankmajer)
