Fancy Full


On March 5, Tim Burton's spin on the Lewis Carroll classic hits theaters. Summon your inner child and indulge in something just as fanciful and and fun. Know though that there is a fine line between whimsical and cute. Whimsical is Tim Burton's spin on the classic tale. Cute, is well, the Disney version. Whimsy is the one (or two) item that is playful and a little off-kilter, takes the edge of the serious everyday and makes you laugh. The piece that makes them wonder.
