The walrus and the carpenter

To relate back to audiences, I'm eager to see what kind of people are in the theaters for the opening weekend of "Alice in Wonderland". Usually this type of story would relate to a young audience, mostly children, as it is a fairy tale. Tim Burton did the remake of the classic, with of course, the traditional Tim Burton dark twist. His movies usually bring in a more mature audience, those who like the eery feeling, and those who appreciate his great cinematography. So, with that said who's going out to see it this weekend? Kids? Adults? Both? Will it be too scary for children? Either way I cannot wait!
When I was younger, I never really liked the story "Alice in Wonderland", it scared me actually, even the Disney movie. Those poor oysters get tricked into being eaten...
Anyways, there was a series called Alice and the looking glass. Anyone remember it? It was a real-life version, and Alice had to constantly fight this dragon-monster in her bedroom mirror. Well frankly, it terrified me as a child, and I couldn't think of the Alice story the same.
Flash forward-I love Tim Burton's films, so I am facing my childhood horrors and seeing the movie. My feeling is that there will be a lot of people around my age range, and Alice and Wonderland really took off in the early 90's.

What are your thoughts on the matter? Also does anyone remember the Disney show based on AIW, where Alice walked through her mirror and went to Wonderland after school?
