"The time has come," the Walrus said,
"To talk of many things:
Of shoes—and ships—and sealing-wax—
Of cabbages—and kings—
And why the sea is boiling hot—
And whether pigs have wings"
...and about how disappointing tim burton's alice in wonderland was!

it wasn't even wonderland, it was underland. it was slightly magical, but not in the least whimsical. lack of embellished decadence. just not what i was expecting, and not what i wanted. i will say though that my favorite story in through the looking glass is the jabberwocky, so i was happy that was in there, but then they turned it into like a dragon fight. i don't know, i just felt like i was watching lord of the rings for kids. i wanted alice to be full of wonder and whimsy, and it just wasn't. :/
