ALICE IN WONDERLAND (1951)

Alice sits with her tutor outdoors, but she is bored with the books lacking pictures.  She begins to pay more attention to her cat as she suddenly catches a glimpse of a dressed rabbit.  The rabbit grabs her curiosity and she follows the rabbit into a hole.  In the hole she trips and she falls into what seems to be an abyss that leads to a fantasy land where things are not as they appear, and they appear as she has never known before.  Alice in Wonderland is based on Lewis Carroll's novel with the same name and his story brings the audience through a fantastic adventure where Alice's curiosity brings several philosophical ideas in regards to general curiosity.  The film is an interesting adventure for both young and old, as it unveils adult contemporary themes as well as eye-catching phenomena for the young, which ends in a marvelous, yet odd, cinematic experience.
