{{quote|''No story in English literature has intrigued me more than Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland. It fascinated me the first time I read it as a schoolboy and as soon as I possibly could after I started making animated cartoons, I acquired the film rights to it. People in his period had no time to waste on triviality, yet Carroll with his nonsense and fantasy furnished a balance between seriousness and enjoyment which everybody needed then and still needs today.''|[[Walt Disney]]|American Weekly 1946}}
{{quote|''"Curiouser and curiouser!"''}}
Line 27 ⟶ 29:
There are many, many adaptations and cameos are countless. Many adaptations involve [[Grimmification]] to some degree. Due to being out of copyright, Alice is popular base material for commercial transformative works (including a musical porn film).
* Movie adaptations of the story go back into the earliest days of film: the first adaptation, a short subject made in 1903, contains some of the earliest examples of special effects in film. Walt Disney made some of his first animated films adapted from the Alice tales, and featured a live-action actress against animated characters. Of course, more popular is [[Disney]]'s [[The Golden Age of Animation|1951]] [[Alice in Wonderland (Disney film)|feature film]], which is considered among the studio's most surreal titles. Again under Disney, [[Tim Burton]] has made a [[Alice in Wonderland (film)|
** An unrelated television movie reimagination, ''[[Alice]]'', was produced in 2009 by the [[Syfy]] Channel.
* ''[[The Looking Glass Wars]]'' is a trilogy of novels by Frank Beddor based on the idea that ''Alyss'' was heir to the throne of Wonderland and was forced to flee to our world by her evil Aunt Redd.
* There's an animated series by Nippon Animation (the same group that made the ''Biene Maia'', ''[[Heidi]]'' and ''Dog of Flanders'' animated series).
* A pop musical version, simply called ''Wonderland'',
* The book also inspired various manga. ''[[Pandora Hearts]]'' and ''[[Are You Alice]]'' are the two most prominent.
* Among the many video game adaptations are ''[[American McGee's Alice]]''.
Line 35 ⟶ 39:
* Of the literature, there's ''Złote Popołudnie'' (''Golden Afternoon'') by Andrzej Sapkowski - a [[POV Sequel|retelling from the point of view of]] the Cheshire Cat.
* Web comic ''[[Alice and the Nightmare]]'' (starts with the protagonist adopted in the "suit" as Alice Heart, and the Red Queen personally appears to transport her "dearest protégée" from the Heart Church to Phantasmagoria University)
* Volume 9 of ''[[RWBY]]'' is set in the "Everafter", a [[Magical Land]] which is strongly influenced by the books, including having had its own Alice (a girl named "Alyx") who wrote her own book (''The Girl Who Fell Through the World'') after her adventures there. It became a beloved children's classic in Remnant.
Now has a [[Character Sheet]] under construction. For tropes related to the adaptations, see below the trope list for the books.
Line 119 ⟶ 124:
:* This was, by the way, a major plot point of the [[Tim Burton]] movie.
* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: The Mock Turtle.
* [[Hybrid Monster]]: The Gryphon, of course, plus his friend the Mock Turtle, a turtle with the head, limbs, and tail of a calf.
* [[Identical Twin ID Tag|Identical Twin ID Tags]]: The Tweedles have their names embroidered on their suits.
* [[I Fell for Hours]]: Alice's descent down the rabbit hole, which takes an incredibly long time.
