Why Alice in Wonderland? This was a formative story for me both through the text Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (or originally “in Under Ground”) by Lewis Carroll, and the original animation by the Walt Disney Corporation.
A major part of its draw, to me, is the philosophical underpinnings in a nonsensical story. The absurd events reflect the very real happenings in day-to-day life, particularly in societal structures and assumptions. Wonderland is simultaneously incredible, beautiful, and frustrating.
