Alice encounters talking flowers, madcap kings and queens, and strange mythological characters when she becomes a pawn in a bizarre chess game.

In Wonderland, she encounters strange creatures like the White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, and the Queen of Hearts, each more surreal than the last.

Alice sees the other side of the Looking Glass, and enters another world of whimsical enchantment.
