What Parents Need to Know

About Alice in Wonderland

Parents need to know that Alice does just about everything we tell kids not to do, including going off with strangers and eating and drinking things that may be dangerous. During the psychedelic 1960s, the scene with the caterpillar puffing on a hookah was popularly considered to be a reference to opium or hashish -- possibly because the movie, like the book, has such a surreal and dream-like quality -- but there's nothing in the movie (or the book) to suggest that connection.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about the dreamy world Alice finds herself in. Which of these wild characters is your favorite? Why do they celebrate un-birthdays in Wonderland? Could you celebrate one right now? Why does Alice sing the song "I Give Myself Very Good Advice (But I Very Seldom Follow It)"? When did you give yourself good advice and not follow it?

    Trippy book and movie.

    I love both, but they send you into some kind of surreal world; a dream that you won't be done with until it's done with you. It's a great quality, although most likely intentional, that not everybody finds every day. Alice In Wonderland is a nice escape away from what reality is. Oh, and 'I Give Myself Good Advice' is a song that fits me wonderfully, haha.
