  • Okay, let's go!

  • Once upon a time, there was a girl named Alice

  • Oh! I'm Alice!

  • Hi!

  • So I was here trying my best not to be so bored,

  • even though there was nothing to do

  • but stare into space... like this

  • But I noticed a little white rabbit

  • This was no ordinary rabbit!

  • He was wearing a suit and glasses!

  • He was talking to himself!

  • It's seemed like he was late!

  • A talking rabbit who could tell time?

  • This wasn't boring at all!

  • He rushed right past me saying:

  • Oh dear! Oh dear!

  • I shall be late! Oh dear!

  • Well this was just too curious!

  • I must follow the white rabbit!

  • He slipped into a rabbit hole...

  • so I did too!

  • Whoa!

  • But this was no ordinary rabbit hole!

  • Ah!

  • Wait...

  • I'm not really falling!

  • I'm more like floating, like a feather!

  • Cool!

  • Wait...

  • Where am I?

  • Whoa!

  • Did I fall all the way through the Earth?

  • Maybe I'm in Australia!

  • Good thing they speak English there!

  • Hm...

  • A small key!

  • But this key is way too small for any of THESE doors!

  • Wow!

  • What do you know!

  • There's a teensy door!

  • Wow!

  • Too bad this door's so small!

  • I don't even think I could get my head through!

  • And if I could, what good would my head be without the rest of me?

  • Hey!

  • That wasn't there before!

  • It says...

  • "Drink me!"

  • Hm...

  • I know I'm not supposed to just drink things willy nilly!

  • What if it's poison?

  • Or what if it's something just weird like... cauliflower juice?

  • Hm...

  • It says here:

  • "Definitely NOT Poison, and most certainly NOT Cauliflower Juice"

  • Well, that's odd...

  • Okay... I'll try JUST a sip...

  • Mmm, delicious!

  • It tastes like everything I like!

  • Cherry pie,

  • ice cream,

  • pineapples...

  • roast turkey?

  • french toast?!

  • Mmm, pancakes!

  • Oh!

  • Hey, HEY... what's happening?!

  • Uh-oh!

  • Oh! I wonder if I shouldn't have tried that juice!

  • Well... this is totally weird.

  • But hey! Now I can go intro that garden!

  • Oh, no!!

  • The key is aaall the way up there at the table!

  • That's as high as the Empire State Building now!

  • Wwhooaa!

  • There's a giant cookie!

  • Well, if the drink made me smaller...

  • Maybe the cookie will make me bigger!

  • Food DOES make you grow!

  • Okay... here goes nothin'!

  • Hm.

  • Nothin'!

  • Oh, oh, wait!

  • I think--whoooaaa!

  • Well this is not what I had in mind!

  • Not I'm so big that I'm stuck!

  • But it's good to know: cookies are nutritious!

  • Dear! I'm incredibly late!

  • The Queen simply will not tolerate this!

  • Oh... dear!

  • Please, Mr. Rabbit! I'm stuck!

  • I can't help you now. Didn't you hear me? I'm terrible late!

  • But but, what if I'm stuck up here forever!

  • It's REALLY hot in here. I don't like being a giant!

  • Stop crying!

  • You'll get me all wet an ruin this new suit!

  • I'm sorry!

  • But this is just REALLY uncomfortable!

  • Ah, well, I'm leaving!

  • Well, that's better at least

  • Wait... wait a second!

  • I'm shrinking!

  • Woo-hoo!

  • Oh! Oh no!

  • Well...

  • this isn't good!

  • Oh goodness!
