Mikey (as played by Josh and Erin) hates everything, even Life cereal. (It's 2021 now, and we have Oreo O's.) But will Mikey hate ALICE IN WONDERLAND (1933)? After all, the Josh half of Mikey has read the books and both halves have seen and loved the Disney version. Will the fascinating weirdness of the 1933 movie win Mikey over, or will Cary Grant's blubbering as the Mock Turtle have the fickle brat flipping over the breakfast table?
