Sometimes I am just an overgrown kid, join me in reliving my childhood with this preview of the new film that looks absolutely fantastic:

Fun Facts:

The book has never been out of print.

It is also sometimes thought as a reference to psychoactive drugs.

In 1931, the book was banned in Hunan, China because “animals should not use human language” and it “put animals and human beings on the same level.”

Among its first avid readers were Queen Victoria and the young Oscar Wilde.

Quotes:

Alice: What is the use of a book, without pictures or conversations?

“We’re all mad here.” -Cheshire Cat

“Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop.” -The King
