However, when tragedy strikes, Peter and Alice decide to go on an adventure in order to help their grief-stricken and financially-struggling parents, which takes them to the fantastical worlds of Wonderland and Neverland…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

The timeless stories of Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland combine in an original and highly imaginative family adventure that brings out the best in both tales, and may even offer some magical surprises of its own.
