At first , I thought it was going to be like the story book, so I was disappointed. When I realized it wasn't, I watched it for what it "was", a different twist to Alice and Wonderland. Then I enjoyed it more and more. In order to enjoy the movie, one really has to enjoy fantasy. This movie is full of unusual things. I think the photography and artistry was Very Well done ,but there again it is full of fantasy. I would recommend it to 9 year olds and up, any one for a world of fanciful dreams.
