"We're all mad here."
"Curiouser and curiouser!"

When Alice falls down a rabbit hole, she lands into a fantasy world! One exactly like those in children's imagination, where animals can talk and where the simple objects are alive. This world is called Wonderland, and it is real, still somewhere, waiting to be discovered, waiting for another kid to fall into a little hole in his garden, or in a park.

Alice meets some interesting characters like The Cheshire cat, The Rabbit, The King and Queen of Hearts, The Caterpillar, The Mad Hatter, Humpty-Dumpty and many others just as magical...and she finds out here she doesn't have to learn or read or grow up.

Her adventures in Wonderland are so magical, so bizarre, that sometimes you feel like everything is a delirium. Somehow, everything has a meaning and nothing makes sense at the same time. It is said that this is a story written for kids, but as you go through the story, you realize how much adults need such a story.

Alice in Wonderland shares the complexities and hardships of growing up and while reading the adventures of this little girl, you realize how much we lose once we leave childhood.

Reading this book, watching the Disney animation and the two amazing movies made me realize how magical the world of children is. All you have to do is dream and imagine a world where anything is possible. How beautiful is that?

Reading this story I learned once more that Lewis Carroll wrote this book to make sure we never grow up. Adults...always in an attempt to logically explain even the smallest thing, always looking for scientific explanations. But they haven't met the Mad Hatter yet. Let's see how they would explain his existence then...

The book was adorable and the songs were so cute, but the movies were pure magic! And that's what you say when you watch a movie where the characters are played by Helena Bonham Carter and Johnny Depp!

'My name is Alice, but-

'It's a stupid name enough!' Humpty Dumpty interrupted impatiently. 'What does it mean?'

'Must a name mean something?' Alice asked doubtfully.

'Of course it must,' Humpty Dumpty said with a short laugh. My name means the shape I am-and a good handsome shape it is, too. With a name like yours, you might be any shape almost.'

'Why do you sit out here all alone?' said Alice, not wishing to begin an argument.

'Why, because there's nobody with me!' cried Humpty Dumpty.

The story is very old and the animation too, but the movies are one of the most beautiful movies I have ever seen! Even if the story is not as logical and full of emotion like Le petit Prince, for example, it is a classical and it is one of the stories that gave life to the famous Mad Hatter! To be clear, we all love him, ok?

I loved it and I was so happy to find out the movies and the animation were almost the same with the original story. If you love to read this genre, this one is for you! And if you feel you are still a child even if you have twenty or fifty years old, this is really written for you!

Curiouser and curiouser, isn't it?

Thank you for reading my review, darlings!
