We will also follow Alice as she navigates through the chaos of the Mad Tea Party and enters the garden filled with order and tranquility, contrasting two entirely different worlds and offering humorous insights into human nature and social mechanisms. Have you ever wondered what hidden metaphors lie beneath these absurd scenes? Hit play now! Let’s traverse the world of fairy tales together and uncover the inspiration sparked by the collision between disorder and order!
