Alice in Wonderland

There’s only one way out of Wonderland. Alice, a curious girl who plunges down a rabbit hole, travels through an unpredictable world where animals dress up and talk, food can make one a giant, and a corrupt Queen tries to get rid of anyone who crosses her. Based on the books by Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland is about how it feels to be young in the strange and ridiculous world of adults.
