Wonder Park-Kids’ Movie Review

Albert Einstein once said that, “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” and June Bailey (voice of Brianna Denski) definitely has an a wonderful imagination. June is a very creative young girl who loves to spend time with her mom (voice of Jennifer Garner) creating an imaginary theme park that she calls Wonderland. In her mind she has created amazing new rides and various theme park characters. June’s life dramatically changes the day she comes across a theme park in the woods…called Wonderland. Initially Jane is preoccupied with the chaos of the park as hordes of “chimpanzombies” are destroying it. Now it’s up to June and her beloved park characters to use their imagination and save the park!
