Alice in Wonderland (required 4)

I'm not really sure I can think of any religious significance in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. I thought it was a beautiful piece of art, on the other hand! Burton is really a mastermind when it comes to creative expression.
The story, on the other hand, I did not enjoy as much. It is kind of a cool concept that Alice is coming back to Wonderland, and she has to remember her past trip. But I thought it was a bit overboard that she had to defeat that giant dragon thing at the end. I'm sure it meant something like overcoming one's demons, especially since all the characters in Wonderland reflected people she knew in her own world. It just seemed too much. I think it would have been better to defeat the red queen rather than a giant beast.
