Jeff Bridges - Prince Lir

“- Harry Booth: No sense leaving the story of a lifetime untold, Captain.

“There's no such thing as an ending; just a place where you leave the story.”
Maggie Smith - Muriel Donnelly

“- March Hare: Start at the beginning.
- Mad Hatter: Yes, yes. And when you come to the end...”

Janet McTeer - Narrator
