Thanks for watching, SoloFam! I hope you guys are as excited about going down the rabbit hole as I am!
~ CORRECTIONS ~ I said that Alice was sitting with her mother in the movie but it's actually her sister. Not a big deal, but a surprisingly large amount of you are fixating on correcting that mix-up so I figured I'd let all 200 of you know I've seen your comments ;)

Fun Fact: Alice was drawn wearing a yellow dress in the original book because it was the color of insanity at the time. You can see Alice wearing yellow at 8:43, 10:21, 13:04, 13:53, and 14:41.

Imagine being Alice's sisters and seeing her as the protagonist of the story, while you are represented by two birds who only appear in one chapter.
