...first page of Lisa Randall’s “Warped Passages,” there is a cartoon of two babies in a crib. A casual flip through the book shows a rabbit dancing in front of a projector, several spinning spheres, and man in a falling elevator...
...There has, however, been one big change - the strategic insertion of 38 Disney cartoon characters into what had previously been a simulacrum of the real world.

After a night of orgiastic cartoon excess, the plot takes a sharp turn into “Pit and the Pendulum” doom and gloom, as wolf and bear narrowly escape their female captors-turned-ritualistically-sacrificing-robots. Not quite as idiosyncratic as Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo, but bizarre enough, considering that Quincy’s working...
