First - I wouldn't pay for the 3D effects -- it really wasn't worth it. The only parts that you may have "ooh"d and "aaah"d --the tiny creature was moving so fast I couldn't really follow it in 3D -- many things I wasn't able to se what the creature was. Just don't spend the extra $$ on 3D -- NOTHING really happened. That said, it was still a pretty interesting story; the screenwriter was able to parallel Alice's real life with this 'dream' life. There were about 3 episodes that I don't think a child of 7 would have liked. Not overl gruesome, but definitely Tim Burton-y. ;)
