Alice In Wonderland

Went to see "Alice in Wonderland" today and it was great! I took my mom and was a nice time. We didn't do the 3D one though. I am not sure how she would like a 3D version and I was just as happy seeing it in regular format. I am already wanting to have it on DVD. I think Disney did well again.


Funny thing was, that things I saw and heard about when in England came rushing back. The Jaborwhalky tree makes sense to me now! I had taken in my hoodie in case it was cold in there, which it was. I didn't realize it until after the movie that it was the one from Chirst Church. This is where Alice's garden was. She was a real little girl that lived there when Lewis Carroll was there.


I have to say, I love from the animated movie, Alice, the Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat.. but that was really about it for the animated version. This... I love it all!


But to each there own... if you see it, I hope you enjoy it!


UPDATE: For those who don't get it, there is a reason. It seems that a lot of people are thinking this is Alice's first trip to Wonderland. It's not. She is returning at least 15 years later. The Red Queen has done some cruel things and taken the crown from her sister the White Queen. The Mad Hatter has been waiting for Alice to return at the same table, set for tea. But the day has come for the slaying of the Jaborwhalky and only one can do it.... (for the literature people, one would recognize this as "Through the Looking Glass (and What Alice Found There")
