What's your interpretation of Alice in Wonderland? I've read the first one and it's quite nice. Fun reading and something I'll definitely show my children (if one day I have some). The ending make me think it's a coming of age story, the sister hoping Alice will continue being a silly lovely girl. I presume the characters are parodies or something about British society from the victorian age - the clearest example being the madhatter and the queen. I guess there's a bunch of symbolism hidden in it.

Dude, the author already stated several times that Alice in wonderland is just a story for children to enjoy and nothing more.

An actual midwit would try to force "symbolism" and "metaphors" into a, said by its own author, kid's book

You need to read Through the Looking Glass to really make sense of Alice's dreams. Doubly poignant with the fish theme.

Seeing this movie in 2nd grade is what cemented my giantess fetish which ruined my life.
At the age of 10 I had developed a severe and crippling porn addiction which I am still completely dependent on fifteen years later. This has completely prevented or ruined every sexual relationship I’ve ever had with a woman.
Why couldn’t I just be born normal?

It makes me mad to think people call him a pedophile. I truly do not believe this to be the case, and yes I have heard everything there is to here, you would show me no new image that I have not seen. I truly believe he was innocent in those regards, and if his diary entries were to be found more "scandalous" things would be shown on his proclivities with adult women,

Alice in Wonderland is about non-Euclidean geometry and abstract algebra. It was brand new at the time, and Carroll was mocking it with Wonderland. Things getting bigger and smaller for no reason, imaginary numbers, it's all personified by characters running around spewing nonsense.
