INT. ALICE'S HOUSE. DAY.

Alice wakes up throwing the covers back. She gets up and get' dressed. She goes downstairs to have her breakfast. She goes back upstairs to brush her teeth and wash her face. She then does her make-up and goes back downstairs. With a newspaper open on the job section she places it down on the table.

EXT. COUNTRY PARK. DAY.

Alice leaves her house and begins to walk to the park. She walks underneath and past some trees and walks along a river. There's a giant keyhole on a hill, Alice's boot's walk into the foreground. She look's at the keyhole curious. She look's down the hole and then stumbles forward falling through the hole.

Title 'Thunderland' appears on the screen.

Alice falls through and onto the floor. She stands up looking around her, and then wanders off in all different directions. Alice approaches her house and puts her key in the door.

INT. ALICE'S HOUSE. DAY.

She walks into the room looking curious. Shadows begin to cover her face and she turns around looking stunned. The Cheshire cat is sitting on the table, it then pans left to the Mad Hatter.

CHESHIRE CAT

Feeling curious?

MAD HATTER

Off the table you silly cat. Care to join us? (talking to Alice)

Sitting around the table with tea.

ALICE

So if I may ask, why are you here?

MAD HATTER

I think the question is why are you here?

ALICE

Because this is where I live.

MAD HATTER

Are you sure?

ALICE

It looks a little different around here I'll admit.

RABBIT

Well at least it saved me the trip.

ALICE

What do you mean by that?

RABBIT

You found the entrance without my help, very handy indeed.

MAD HATTER

Have some tea m'dear, tell us about you.

ALICE

My life is boring and to be truthful I don't want to grow up, get a job. There are too many responsibilities.

CHESHIRE CAT

Not in this world.

Alice looks up interested.

CHERSIRE CAT

There is no sense of time here.

RABBIT

The time!

Alice looks at the rabbit concerned.

CHESHIRE CAT

Know one grows up.

MAD HATTER

Ooh, yes, yes!! Then you can stay here and have tea with us all the time.

The mad hatter moves forward closer to Alice's face.

MAD HATTER

And you could protect us too.

ALICE

Protect you from what?!

MAD HATTER

we're not the only creatures here you know.

CHESHIRE CAT

We may be made, but there are madder.

ALICE

If there are creatures madder than this, then I'd rather be home.

Alice stand up ready to leave

RABBIT

Where are you going?

ALICE

Home.

MAD HATTER

Come now. Won't you stay.

Mad Hatter gets closer.

ALICE

Id rather not.

Alice turns and runs. She closes the door behind her.

EXT. ALICE'S HOUSE. DAY.

Alice comes out of the house and shuts the door firmly behind her and then begins to run. As she's running the Mad Hatter rises.

EXT. COUNTRY PARK. DAY.

She continues to run round a park corner and past some trees. The Mad Hatter then rises in front of the camera. As she's still running the Rabbit and Cheshire cat pop up. The Mad Hatter then pop's up in the background as she's running forward. She runs along the river and the Rabbit rises. As she's running along the path the Cheshire Cat rises in her path. She runs past some trees which have signs on them, she then runs across the hill. The Rabbit and Cheshire Cat rise, followed by the Mad Hatter. She turns to look and then carry's on running down the hill. She runs through the trees and can see the door in the distance. She turns again to look, as she's running forward the Cheshire Cat rises in the background. She continues to run forward, the Rabbit, Cheshire Cat and Mad Hatter all rise together. She runs towards the door and grabs the handle turning it. She opens it and stumbles through the door closing it behind her. She looks at the door for a moment. It then falls down, showing the whole field empty. She turns and see's that the door has gone.
