8	Cameron "June" Bailey is an optimistic and imaginative young girl who, following her mother becoming [[SoapOperaDisease deathly ill]] and sent away for medical treatment, decides to abandon her creative pursuits in favor of keeping a watchful eye on her father. After escaping a bus on the way to summer camp due to paranoia about her dad's health, June stumbles across an abandoned amusement park in the forest that strangely mirrors the miniature one that she used to build with her mom, right down to the talking animals. With the park overrun by a mysterious dark force, June works with her creations brought to life to help return Wonderland back to its former glory, and maybe even recover her love of fantasy.

10	Notorious for being the first wide-release Hollywood production since 1995's ''WesternAnimation/ThePebbleAndThePenguin'' not to credit its director, as well as receiving its MPAA a full year before its release date.
11
12	Similarly to ''WesternAnimation/JimmyNeutronBoyGenius'' and ''WesternAnimation/{{Barnyard}}'', the film serves as the PilotMovie to a [[http://www.thewrap.com/paramounts-amusement-park-movie-become-nickelodeon-tv-show-theatrical-release/ television series]], however, the movie's poor performance means that the series may permanently reside on TheShelfOfMovieLanguishment.
