Under the Big Top

One of my favorite movies is Mirror Mask, based off of Neil Gaiman’s book. I love the circus in it and how they carried the world of that circus into the alternate world the main character falls into. It was like a bizarrer modern version of Alice in Wonderland (if that’s possible) with a big top twist.
