Alice, bored by her sister’s reading, follows a White Rabbit into a burrow and falls through a tunnel filled with shelves and curiosities. After landing in a long room, she finds a glass table with a golden key and uses it to reach a small door to a beautiful garden, but after drinking from a labeled bottle and shrinking, she must search for another way in using a cake labeled to make her change size again.
