...present and the future and how things may turn out if he does not mend his ways. Well eventually he does and he wakes Christmas Day a changed man This has been filmed seriously many times prehaps most famously by Alistair Sim in the 1951 version.

Disadvantages: Nothing!

...for a very important date! Alice quickly follows the rabbit who disappears down a large rabbit hole. Curious Alice follows him in and finds herself falling into a strange but wonderful world where everything is a little back-to-front! Here she encounters talking doors, a Cheshire cat who can disappear, The Queen of Hearts.. and lots of other weird and wonderful characters! But will Alice ever find her way back home.. or will she be stuck in this ...
...Here you have to guide Alice through some rooms since she is lost. In the first room you have to solve 5 riddles that the Cheshire cat gives you in order to progress further. This isn't hard and would be really fun for children (though I think really young children would find this quite hard and maybe not undertand). The cat gives you riddles and you simply click on pictures on the screen which correspond with the right answer. You then follow the ...

Curiously she follows the bizarre animal until he reaches a rabbit hole, she follows him into the hole and thus her wacky and wonderful adventure begins in one of the most psychedelic films of all time.

...for adults as well and Ice Age 3 certainly delivered on that front. I've seen Ice Age2 on TV but not the first film and never in the cinema. On top of that this was a 3D show. The story essentially follows Manny, the mammoth, his heavily pregnant wife, Ellie and Diego, the sabre toothed tiger as they venture under the ice to a land where dinosaurs are not extinct. They do this to try and rescue Sid, who feeling unloved due to the impending arrival ...
...subsequently been carried off with his 'children' by their real mother. In dinosaur world they meet Buck, the weasel with the Sylvester Stallone eyepatch and knife, the British accent (Simon Pegg voices him) and the literary connections to Captain Ahab of Moby Dick (both have been left injured by 'the great white beast', both are unnaturally obsessed and slightly unhinged by it). As a sideline, Scratt is still seeking his acorn but this time there ...
