Alice and Censorship
Did you know Alice in Wonderland is notorious, a banned book? The Chinese government censored Carroll's classic in 1931 because animals shouldn't be anthropomorphicized. According to The File Room, a site that catalogs banned books, the Chinese government did so because "Animals should not use human language, and that it was disastrous to put animals and human beings on the same level." Wonder what they'd think of Spongebob?!?
