    Throughout Burton’s films, one simple thought is true in all of them. From Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children to Alice in Wonderland, Burton emphasizes that “Visions are worth fighting for. Why spend your life making someone else's dreams?” Deviating from the predestined path created for the main characters emulates Frida Kahlo’s “Along the Border Line Between Mexico and the United States” The vast majority of Burton’s characters find themselves on a line between the path and visions that

It was called Wonderland. Her real name before she became an almost human, was the Cheshire Cat, she was for this reason, peculiar, for she was no longer a cat with a smile but a smile without a complete cat.
