We went to see Alice in Wonderland, and you cannot imagine how much I was looking forward to this movie. I watched the Disney movie over and over when I was a kid (except for the part with the dodo, I had even forgotten that was in the movie.

Now, we wait to see what happens with Maleficent. That's right, ladies and gents, a re-imagining of 1959's Sleeping Beauty from the p.o.v of the bad guy. I am intrigued...
