Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory takes the hilarity of the children’s book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. The movie adds a hefty dose of psychedelic art direction and some off-the-wall performances by actors of all ages to deliver a one-of-a-kind cinematic experience.
Ratatouille is about Remy, a resident of Paris, who appreciates good food and has quite a sophisticated palate. He would love to become a chef so he can create and enjoy culinary masterpieces to his heart’s delight.
The only problem is, Remy is a rat. When he winds up in the sewer beneath one of Paris’ finest restaurants, the rodent gourmet finds himself ideally placed to realise his dream.

And Alice in Wonderland is a 2010 fantasy adventure film. A young girl when she first visited magical Underland, Alice Kingsleigh, is now a teenager with no memory of the place—except in her dreams.
Her life takes a turn for the unexpected when, at a garden party for her fiance and herself, she spots a certain white rabbit and tumbles down a hole after him. Reunited with her friends the Mad Hatter, the Cheshire Cat and others, Alice learns it is her destiny to end the Red Queen’s reign of terror.
