In the beginning a poem from I think Alice in Wonderland was shown. I can't remember it well. Can some one tell me what it was and what it meant.

"To the Looking-Glass world it was Alice that said
'I've a sceptre in hand, I've a crown on my head.
Let the Looking-Glass creatures, whatever they be
Come dine with the Red Queen, the White Queen and Me!'"

- 'Alice Through The Looking Glass',
Lewis Carroll

"You think that when you die, you go to Heaven? You come to us!"

Thanks. I wonder why they put it in the movie?

There also is a certain parallel to their story and Alice's. There's the real world and the secondary world and both must enter through a mirror, the mirror in this case serving as a warped reflection of humanities nightmares.

Okay, probably way deeper than intended, but it works.

Through the looking glass window, twas Alice that said " let the looking glass creatures, whatever they be, come dine with the red queen, the white queen and me."
uh, maybe it made refrence to all the creatures that they would meet along the way.
