Last night, I saw Alice in Wonderland the Disney animated version in DVD for the first time. I have read the book and saw illustrations so many times in the past. When I was young, I thought it was amazing and I have dreamt of falling down the rabbit hole a couple of times over.

But seeing the whole story on film, I’d say I am quite disappointed. My 4 year old was amused, obviously, as she is chuckling from scene to scene. However I find that the Mad Hatter’s tea party scene was too much. There are too many pranks and violence in it: throwing of tea cups, spoiling food, burning with hot water, destroying the White Rabbit’s precious possession. I didn’t like it and I feel a little bad that was the movie me and my hubby came up for the babe on Christmas. The story revolved endlessly on mostly nonsense that would not qualify to call it a wonderland, at all. At least not in my standards.

Have you seen the movie too? What do you think of it?
