Alice in Wonderland - a nice fairy tale or a sick, sick story?

Guess you just read / watch the wrong stuff, there, Lav!

Alice is a classic of children's literature with many serious lesson-themes as well as timely satire of the local political structure.

I'm tellin ya mate! I used to watch it, those characters did not exist. Someone set that up for a laugh, and half the world goes and believes it. The Rainbow one has also been disproven [img]tongue.gif[/img] Although it is bloody funny.

Not familiar with the Magic Roundabout one - the only one I know of was a Jasper Carrot rip-off which was the B-side to Funky Moped.

now let us not forget the "Wizard of Oz" it was written asa polictical satire and became a childs classic. The yellow brick road concerned the gold Standard and the Wizard of Oz was the president at the time. I forgot who everyone else represented.

Oh an alot fo the Disney stories were based on the Grim Fairytales which were much much grimmer in thier orignal format
