History Main / MagicalLand

* ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' has Mundus Magicus.

* Gensokyo from the ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' games, complete with visitors and occasional artifacts from the "real" world. Its name also literally means "fantasy land".

* ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'' is set in one. Technically "Narnia" is just one country in the world, albeit the one where most important stuff seems to happen. (''Literature/TheHorseAndHisBoy'' is the exception, focusing more on its southern neighbors, Archenland and Calormen.) The world of Narnia is also revealed to be flat, and when you reach the edge, you can see Aslan's Country (basically, Heaven) across a chasm. The residents include lots of mythical creatures, {{Talking Animal}}s and humans, all of whom are descended from people who crossed over from our world.

* ''Comicbook/{{Shazam}}'' (2018) makes the Rock of Eternity the juncture between the Seven Magic Lands (including the Earthlands, which are the regular DCU). The Funlands are a giant AmusementParkOfDoom; the Gamelands are a living video game; the Beastlands are home to FunnyAnimals; the Darklands are a gloom-filled realm of [[MonsterMash zombies and vampires]]; the Wozonderlands are a mash-up of the Literature/LandOfOz and [[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland Wonderland]]; and the Monsterlands are a PrisonDimension.

SuperTrope to LandOfFaerie. Contrast this with ConstructedWorld which does not have visitors or a gateway from our world. See also TrappedInAnotherWorld. Not to be confused with "Magical ''Realm''," which has a [[FetishFuelFuture much different meaning.]]

-->'''Crow''': Well Mike, I guess it's just a magical land. I HATE MAGICAL LANDS!

* In ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}},'' the island of Avalon fulfills this trope. It seems to be a sort of PocketDimension, accessible from any body of water if you know the right spell. Operates on [[HourInsideYearOutside Hour Inside, Day Outside]] and serves as the home of the Avalon Clan of gargoyles. Its also the homeland of TheFairFolk, though they're all currently required to be WalkingTheEarth for 1,001 years. [[spoiler:That time expires during the series]].

* ''Series/TheMagicians2016'': There is an in-universe series of books about the magical land of Fillory, which is basically [[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia Narnia]] without the villains. Quentin Coldwater, the main character, is ecstatic when he finds out Fillory is real. However, it turns out that while there are many wonderful things about Fillory, in the end it has many dark parts, like any other world. Sexism is rampant, political chaos is the order of the day, the gods are hedonistic idiots (albeit well-meaning ones), and DisproportionateRetribution combined with MightMakesRight is the most common law. Sometimes it seems like the only reason people fall in love with Fillory is because the atmosphere is 0.2% opium. As Quentin notes, that's kind of a cheating way to get you to like a place.

The "another world" part of TrappedInAnotherWorld. It may be [[DownTheRabbitHole down a rabbit hole]], [[PortalPool at the bottom of a pool]], [[CoolGate through a mysterious gate]], or [[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia inside a wardrobe]]. What is certain is that people from other worlds will be visiting it. Usually, the MagicalLand is in AnotherDimension; but it can also be [[HereThereBeDragons unexplored territory]], an IslandOfMystery, or a LostWorld. The exact type depends on the age of the work, as [[ScienceMarchesOn geography marches on]], the trope has shifted from [[ForgottenTrope lost continents]] to entire [[AnotherDimension other dimensions]] (or in the case of ScienceFiction, [[AllPlanetsAreEarthlike far off planets]] or [[TimeTravel time periods]]).

* The Homelands in ''Comicbook/{{Fables}}'' is a composite of every other MagicalLand where the titular characters from folklore and legend come from.

* Many Creator/CirqueDuSoleil shows involve a character -- and by extension, the audience, given that NoFourthWall is a favorite trope of theirs -- ending up in a MagicalLand:

* ''Literature/TheFaerieQueene'' has [[LandOfFaerie Faerie Land]]... which [[LiteraryAgentHypothesis is a real place]].

* The Literature/LandOfOz and its surrounding countries.

Magical Lands are usually [[MedievalEuropeanFantasy based on Medieval Europe]], and while they may be vastly different, they usually have a couple of things in common:
* Usually feature some sort of sentient non-human species.

!!Examples:

* In Creator/RebeccaLickiss's ''Literature/EccentricCircles'', the fantasy realms outside Grandma Dickerson's house.

** Ponyland/Dream Valley in the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTVSpecials G1]] [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyAndFriends series]] and the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyTheMovie movie]].

* Franchise/{{Tsukipro}} often has these in their stage plays - either the characters get TrappedInAnotherWorld (e.g. Lunatic Party, Yumemigusa, Kurenai Enishi), or it takes place entirely in that world (e.g. Rabbits Kingdom, (which has a frame story that it's a story that Shun is telling Hajime... about themselves...), Natsuyumesai). And they are constantly developing new AU settings that may or may not become future stage plays.

* The ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'' series has the Genie Realm, the land that the genies returned to after they drained their magic and could no longer sustain themselves in the physical world. In the first game, [[spoiler:Shantae actually had the chance to go there to join the full genies, but she refused since doing so would mean leaving her friends]].
