"Alice in Wonderland" Story and Glossary
/film has provided some interesting information about Alice in Wonderland, based on the screenplay by Linda Woolverton:
"The big surprise for most people, I think, will be that this is at once an adaptation of and sequel to the Lewis Carroll books. This is thanks to a plot wrangle at least as clever as that in Abrams’ Star Trek. Essentially, Wonderland is both a real place and a recurring dream of Alice’s. In this film she’s dreaming of it at a somewhat later part of her life than in the books, so certain things are different. This is just one clever element of a truly charming and surprising screenplay that I’m now really very sure will become a true humdinger of a movie."
The article went on to say that to fully understand the script, you need to know a bit of Wonderland terminology. Thankfully, Woolverton provided a glossary. The glossary may contain some SPOILERS, so if you want to read it, click on this link.

Hmmm... I am wary of it turning out to be like "Tin Man" and their reinvention of Oz...
This could be great, but it could also flop.
ooh, i'm a big a oz fan and i really liked Tin Man,..so i'd be okay with that! either way, it will be interesting to see!

The movie will feature a spectacular sequence of Alice tumbling down the rabbit hole that mixes live action, CG, stop motion as well as hand-drawn (!!!)animation!!!!
