11-> ''When the men on the chessboard\

13And you've just had some kind of mushroom\
14And your mind is moving low\
15Go ask Alice, I think she'll know''

18''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' is a pretty well-known work and can be associated with [[TrappedInAnotherWorld surreal fantasy]], [[StonerFlick drug imagery]], [[ElegantGothicLolita lolita fashion]], GothicHorror (it's a frequent target of {{Grimmification}}) and other aspects of Victorian England, including SteamPunk, political satire, and who knows what else.
19
20The name "Alice", when used in a reference to ''Alice in Wonderland'', therefore tends to be used for fantastical, ethereal characters or concepts, and that goes double if her last name is a variation on Carroll or Liddell (as Alice Liddell was a real girl who inspired Creator/LewisCarroll's character of Alice). Dolls are also often involved, presumably by their association with the Victorian era.
21
22Allusions like this, when not full of 1960s psychedelia, tend to be rather dark and grim, but this makes a lot of sense considering their original source. ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' and its sequel ''Through the Looking-Glass'' are full of BlackComedy (although the death jokes and the like in the books tend to be subtle), something that can often surprise someone who reads the original versions.
23
24Other frequent references to ''Alice in Wonderland'' include [[WhiteBunny magical white rabbits]], [[DownTheRabbitHole rabbit-holes]], [[PlayingCardMotifs playing-card iconography]], [[MagicMushroom mushrooms]], and so forth. References specifically to ''Through the Looking-Glass'' are somewhat rarer, but when they do show up you can expect works to lean into the ChessMotifs, as well as the symbolism of a literal mirror or 'looking-glass'. If the appearance of the Alice-analogue is shown or described, she'll most likely look like a little blonde girl wearing [[TrueBlueFemininity a blue and white dress]], as popularized by the John Tenniel illustrations and the Creator/{{Disney}} animated [[WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland adaptation]].
25
26Adaptations of ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'' are not part of this trope. [[StockShoutOuts Allusions, however, are.]]
27
28Note that this trope is ''only'' for cases where a clear connection can be made between the name "Alice" and a reference to ''Alice in Wonderland''. This trope is not intended to be a general list of every work (or even every fantasy or fantastical work) containing anyone named Alice, only when that name is clearly used in an effort to evoke the book. If you can't make a clear connection to ''Alice in Wonderland'' beyond the name "Alice" and a fantasy or magical-realism genre, don't list it here.
29
30Conversely, references to ''Alice in Wonderland'' can be listed even if they don't specifically use the name "Alice", since they are not a distinct trope.
31
32A SubTrope of ShoutOut. Is related to the JustForFun/OneMarioLimit, in that there may be several "Alices" in a work, but a character may bear the name specifically to invoke Wonderland imagery. Compare to DystopianOz for dark, predominantly political, examples associated with the similar ''Franchise/LandOfOz'' series.

38[[folder:Advertising]]
39* In the mid-Aughties, there was a serial (as in "FilmSerial", not "breakfast") of Froot Loops commercials where a Queen of Hearts-esq character has her card-like guards steal Advertising/ToucanSam's Froot Loops through a portal in his bedroom mirror. At the end of each commercial, there is an AudienceParticipation element to it: the first had kids solve a puzzle to put the shattered mirror back together so that Sam could go after the thieves, and then they got to vote on what new flavor they could add to the cereal (the winner being [[spoiler:cherry-cherry]])
40[[/folder]]
41
42[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
43* ''VideoGame/AliceInTheCountryOfHearts'' is based off of ''[[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland Alice in Wonderland]]'', but with violence, psychos and [[CastFullOfPrettyBoys sexy guys]] tossed in.
44* ''Manga/Alice19th'', where the protagonist (who has magical powers) is called Alice and her guide/teacher takes the form of a white rabbit. The magic system? [[WordsCanBreakMyBones Based on wordplay]]...
45* Fujisaki Arisu of ''Manga/AngelicLayer'' names her [[{{Mons}} Angel]], Alice, after herself. This does not explain why the Angel is dressed as a [[http://www.twinisles.com/japan/culture/c011.php classic lolita]] with blonde hair and white [[LittleBitBeastly bunny ears]].
46* In ''Anime/TheAnimatrix'', the episode "Detective Story" features a detective communicating with Trinity through lines and details from ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland''.
47* ''AudioPlay/AreYouAlice'' the protagonist strays to Wonderland and was given the name Alice, and is about to join the "Game to Kill the White Rabbit". Is there a need to mention that Alice and the Queen of Hearts are both male? Talk about Rules Don't Apply Here.
48* Alice Carroll from ''Manga/{{ARIA}}'' -- look at her full name, even.
49* Chapter 98 of ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'' has a colored illustration where Lu and Shirogane are dressed up like Alice and the White Rabbit. Ironic, given Lu is the one out of touch with reality.
50* In ''Manga/BlackBloodBrothers'' the vampire that turned the main character is a source blood named Alice. She appears in flash backs and occasional references but she died ten years before the start of the series.
51* ''Anime/BlackButler'' also ventures into Wonderland with the two part OVA "Ciel in Wonderland".
52* ''Manga/{{Bleach}}'': At the end of an episode 287 which is themed after "One Thousand and One Nights", the omake addresses the existence of alternate worlds. The screen shows a chibi version of Rukia, who's dressed like Alice, falling into a hole that leads to such an alternate world, with that one being modeled after Wonderland.
53* An episode of ''Manga/CardcaptorSakura'' invokes this by having Sakura wear the dress while having to catch a rabbit-shaped Clow Card.
54* ''Anime/CodeGeass'' has an OVA where the cast act out the tale of ''Alice in Wonderland''. It's called "Nunnally in Wonderland" where Nunnally takes the lead role as Alice.
55* In the 2001 version of ''Manga/Cyborg009'', Joe befriends a tiny girl named Alice who seems to know a looooot about him. [[spoiler: She's a {{Time Travel}}ler, and is also implied to be the past self of Joe's MissingMom.]]
56* The ending sequence of the ''Manga/DagashiKashi'' anime is a series of famous Wonderland scenes with the straight-laced Saya playing Alice and the wackier Hotaru playing an assortment of Wonderland denizens. Other characters also turn up, such as To and Kokonotsu's faces on mini-donuts chased by Hotaru's Walrus.
57* Alice [=McCoy=], the mysterious, possibly dead DeusExMachina of ''Anime/DigimonTamers''. She's also a blonde goth lolita, for extra points. Writer Chiaki J. Konaka favours this trope.
58* In ''Manga/GakuenAlice'', the gift that gives people supernatural powers is called Alice. This is deliberately supposed to invoke ''Alice in Wonderland'', as the currency is called "rabbits" and the main character is trapped at a WizardingSchool chasing someone who's evading her.
59* ''Manga/EternalAlice'' has Arisu/Alice Arisugawa as its main character, and the series in general is drowning in Wonderland motifs.
60* ''Manga/KingOfThorn'' has a MysteriousWaif named Alice. Naturally, when she needs a protector, she creates one in the form of a giant white rabbit.
61* ''Manga/KOn'': TheMovie is set in England so naturally its end credits have the girls hanging out in a garden dressed in blue-and-white Alice-style outfits (when they're not sprinting along the edge of the White Cliffs of Dover).
62* In ''Manga/KurobaraAlice'', a woman named Azusa makes a DealWithTheDevil and is reborn as another person named Alice. The similarities with the book stop here, though.
63* ''Anime/{{Kyousogiga}}'' is supposed to be based off ''Through the Looking-Glass'', though you'd have a hard time knowing it if not for the whole "finding the rabbit" gig, chess imagery, and quotes from the books.
64* No mention of Alice, but ''Manga/MiyukiChanInWonderland'' is a parody wherein a teenage girl has several homoerotic dreams, and includes [[{{Dominatrix}} the Queen of Hearts]], the [[CatGirl Cheshire Cat]], the cards painting the roses red, [[PlayboyBunny the White Rabbit]], and the Mad Tea Party.
65* In ''Manga/OnePiece'', Wonderland themes are prevalent in Totto Land, with several rabbit-like {{Beast M|an}}en (Carrot on the heroes' side, Randolph on the villains'), soldiers with a chess and playing card theme in Big Mom's army, and Big Mom herself being similar to the Queen of Hearts, being a big woman in a pink dress with an uncontrollable temper who is known for beheading people.
66* No use of the name Alice, but ''Manga/OuranHighSchoolHostClub'' contains an episode titled "Haruhi in Wonderland". The contents of the episode are exactly what the title implies. This was adapted from a manga chapter that spoofed ''Alice in Wonderland'', with Haruhi, Tamaki, the Hiitachin twins, and Mori all playing the title character at one point or another.
67* ''Manga/PandoraHearts'' has a rabbit character named Alice along with some other ''Alice in Wonderland''-related imagery. For example: The amount of Alice Allusions are far too many to list here, but suffice to say, practically every event, theme, character and idea from the books shall be referenced in some way, though it probably won't be obvious to the reader unless they have a very good knowledge of the books. The plots even parallel at times, so in some ways the series is a darker, more complex take on the books. As well as this, some references are even made to Carroll and the real-life Alice, Alice Liddell.
68* The first episode of the ''Manga/PetshopOfHorrors'' anime (she doesn't show up until later in the manga) features a white rabbit named Alice, who is given to a pair of grieving parents whose only daughter died of a drug overdose. [[spoiler:The "new" Alice also ends up dying, in a truly horrific way.]]
69* Arisu Sakaguchi from ''Manga/PleaseSaveMyEarth'' is named after Alice from ''Alice in Wonderland'', but her parents actually made up kanji to spell it with rather than using katakana.
70* ''Manga/ProjectARMS'' has all ARMS named after characters from the Alice books. Later, it is revealed that one of the Egrigori team members and experimental child is a blonde girl named Alice (she even reads ''Alice in Wonderland'' to the other children at one point). [[spoiler: after she is absorbed by an alien life form, she refers to the world she creates as Wonderland.]]
71* ''Anime/QueensBlade'':
72** ''Queen's Gate'': Alice has two subordinates named Hatter and March Hare. Her mother is named Lewis after Lewis Carroll, and their last name is Dodgson (Lewis Carroll's real name was Charles Lutwidge Dodgson).
73** ''Queen's Blade Grimoire'': Alicia is TrappedInAnotherWorld, Mel Fair Land, which greatly resembles Wonderland. Her outfit resembles a sexy version of the Disney Alice's outfit, and her rapier is named Liddell.
74* The Alice Game from ''Manga/RozenMaiden'', the [[ThereCanBeOnlyOne deadly tournament]] and reason for being of seven beautifully made [[LivingToys Victorian dolls]]. They are guided by a white rabbit demon in a tuxedo. There's also lots of roses and tea parties.
75* The main theme of ''Manga/SekaiOni''. The protagonists are called Alices and their powers come from the Alice Syndrome. The [[PhantomZone dimension battles take place]] is called Wonderland, and TheMentor for Alices is called Cheshire Devil.
76* Alice Mizuki from ''Anime/SerialExperimentsLain'', as [[http://www.cjas.org/~leng/alice.htm confirmed]] by WordOfGod: Writer Chiaki J. Konaka states "Alice" is Lewis Carol's (sic). I often use the "Alice" as the metaphor in my scenarios. Alice in "lain" is same. Alice even mentions that her name sound weird (her and Lain are the only characters with non-Japanese names, bar some TokenWhite characters). The official subtitles didn't seem to get the message though and translated her name as "Arisu".
77* ''Manga/{{Servamp}}'' brings this many times. One of the main characters is Misono Alicien, and his [[spoiler: half]] brother Mikuni Alicien shares the same feature as well. Bonus points for their father welcoming the protagonists into the Alicien mansion with the line "welcome to Wonderland".
78* ''Anime/TweenyWitches'': Arusu is a human girl who finds herself in the bizarre Magical Realm through [[spoiler:her "mirror", Lennon]]. In "Suspicion", she compares her name to Alice's after mentioning ''Through the Looking Glass'' as a book her mother read to her.
79* The Ending Theme for ''Manga/VampireKnight'', "Still Doll", starts off with the lyrics "Hi, Miss Alice" in English, with the rest of the lyrics seeming to be about a melancholy young girl. The song is sung by Kanon Wakeshima, an ElegantGothicLolita, and the MusicVideo is full of spooky Victorian atmosphere.
80* ''Manga/TheVoynichHotel'''s Alice has a few Wonderland elements surrounding her character. Besides her name, she invokes the same imagery as the original Alice by being an oblivious blonde-haired child in the middle of a war-scarred isle full of overall crazyness, having a sister who borrows her name from another of Lewis Carroll's works [[spoiler: ("Snark", who is a serial killer)]], and wearing a rabbit mask [[spoiler: that is actually a demonic tool obtained through said sister's DealWithTheDevil]].
81* An episode of ''Anime/YuGiOhGX'' has a creepy doll named Alice. She uses Doll cards that allude to the ''Alice'' story.
82[[/folder]]
83
84[[folder:Audio Drama]]
85* ''AudioPlay/BigFinishDoctorWho'':
86** When the Eleventh Doctor invites Dr Alice Watson into the TARDIS in the audio drama ''[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWhoDOTD11TheTimeMachine Destiny of the Doctor: The Time Machine]]'', he says "Ready to go down the rabbit hole, Alice?" Since she has never in her life read any work of literature, she [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure has no idea what he's talking about]].
87** Likewise, ''[[Recap/BigFinishDoctorWho050Zagreus Zagreus]]'' is one big trip into Wonderland, as the [[spoiler: anti-time infected]] Doctor encounters mysterious talking Cats that run him around in logic circles while Charley gets dragged down the rabbit hole by a representation of the TARDIS consciousness. In the end, it turns out [[spoiler: the TARDIS was trying to fight off the anti-time infection with the biggest load of nonsense it could find - which, in this case, was ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.'']]

90[[folder:Comic Books]]
91* ''Alice in Sunderland'' is a brilliant exploration of the history of the character of Alice, among ''many'' other subjects, by Creator/BryanTalbot.
92* A minor sympathetic villain in the ''ComicBook/AstroCity'' comic calls himself "The Mock Turtle" and is a huge fan of Carroll's novels.
93* ''ComicBook/MarvelFairyTales'': ''Avengers Fairy Tales'' #3 is a ''ComicBook/YoungAvengers'' version of the story with [[SizeShifter Cassie/Stature]] as Alice.
94* ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'':
95** Alice is the name of a villain in Creator/GregRucka's ''ComicBook/{{Batwoman}}'' run, who speaks almost entirely in quotes from Lewis Carroll's Alice stories.
96** The Mad Hatter is obsessed with finding "his" Alice, who likely isn't much more than a figment of his insane imaginings.
97** There's also the cousins Tweedledee and Tweedledum. In fact, Batman seems to have a large amount of Lewis Carroll themed villains in his rogues gallery. He even has Humpty Dumpty!
98** At one point the Tweedles and Hatter joined forces, along with a Hare, a Walrus and a Carpenter (a minor BreakOutCharacter when she went semi-straight as an actual carpenter). It turned out [[spoiler: the Tweedles had used Tetch's own mind control on him after he said the idea was just too obvious]].
99* The title of the Season 9 ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer'' comic ''Willow: Wonderland''. Willow also makes a ShoutOut or two. There is even a demon that claims that the green caterpillar was based on him.
100* In ''C.O.V.E.N.'', Arcana, a preteen girl the Illu-men use for her visions of the past and future. Thanks to a wicked case of PowerIncontinence, she's constantly watching past, present and future unfold ''at the same time'', which doesn't leave her the sanest of individuals. Between giving her keepers a prophecy full of riddles or a nightmarish drawing of future events, she has tea parties with her dolls (a rabbit, a unicorn, and lion with a bird's head sewn on,) and talks about awaiting the arrival of a late fourth guest. [[spoiler:Furthermore, her real name is later revealed as Celia, an anagram of Alice.]]
101* ''ComicBook/DoctorStrange'': In ''Doctor Strange'' (Vol. 2) #1, Agamotto appears to Strange as a giant caterpillar on an equally-large mushroom, smoking a hookah. Justified, since Agamotto assumes AFormYouAreComfortableWith out of Strange's memories of ''Alice in Wonderland''.
102* ''ComicBook/TheFlash'' had a storyline called ''Wonderland'', in which Wally West was trapped in AnotherDimension where Keystone City was a dystopia. Each issue opens with a quote from the ''Alice'' books. He discovers he was trapped there by Mirror Master (they've gone "through the looking glass") at the behest of [[TheManBehindTheMan another villain]], who turns out to be fairy-tale monarch Brother Grimm. The second half of the story is set in a Grimmified Keystone City where things are even more Alice-y, including the Rogues as the Card Soldiers and Linda as the Queen of Hearts.
103* ''ComicBook/JaxEpochAndTheQuickenForbidden'' loves this trope. At the beginning of volume 1, Jax chased after a white rabbit that escaped its cage, but then ended up stepping into an interdimensional portal into Realmsend, mirrioring the scene of Alice going down the rabbit hole
104* ''ComicBook/LeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'' has lots of these. The cover of Volume 1 has Alice's face appearing in a mirror, the New Traveller's Almanack references a "Miss A.L." who fell down a hole in the ground and who died from starvation due to her [[MirrorChemistry organic chemistry being reversed]] after coming out of a looking-glass.
105* Alice is one of the three main characters of Creator/AlanMoore's ''Lost Girls''. She's an aristocratic lesbian in her sixties.
106* The main character in ''Lullaby'' is named Alice, and dresses as you might expect. The series begins with her parents dying in a car accident after swerving to avoid a white rabbit in the road.
107* One of the Female Furies in ''ComicBook/NewGods'' is Malice Vunderbar, who has control of a disembodied maw called Chessure.
108* Taken further in the comicbook ''ComicBook/NightmaresOnElmStreet'', as Freddy traps Alice into a dreamscape resembling ''Aice in Wonderland'' and for the climax takes the form of Literature/{{Jabberwocky}}.
109* ''ComicBook/SpiderMan'' has its own Lewis Carroll-themed villain, the White Rabbit. At least for a while, she was written as [[HarmlessVillain an utter joke of a villain]], meaning she could be a TakeThat against other ''Alice'' inspired villains.
110* ''ComicBook/StormDonLawrence'' has a goddess that likes to create Alice Allusions to draw the main character's attention, culminating in her manifesting as Alice herself.
111* In ''ComicBook/Superboy1994'' #92, Conner is suffering PTSD following ''ComicBook/OurWorldsAtWar'' and has a dream in which he follows Impulse (in rabbit ears) through a very Wonderlandish environment, with Steel as the talking doorknob from the Disney version, various bird-themed characters making their way through a huge pool in Penguin's umbrella, Granny Goodness and General Good as the Queen and King of Hearts, and so on. Amusingly, even though it's his own mind pulling out these images, he [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure doesn't get the reference.]]
112* The ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'' villainess Cheshire. More so in the ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'' and ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'' animated series, where she wears a grinning cat mask.
113[[/folder]]
114
115[[folder:Comic Strips]]
116* A storyline in ''ComicStrip/{{Peanuts}}'' featured Snoopy doing his "Cheshire Beagle" trick.
117* ''ComicStrip/PearlsBeforeSwine'' has a bizarre version that starts when Zebra and Larry go down a gopher hole and meet characters that are a cross between their friends and the original characters from ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'', all ending with everyone getting eaten by the "Raterpillar." It's then revealed that Rat drew the series while Stephan Pastis was on vacation.
118[[/folder]]
119
120[[folder:Fan Works]]
121* [[http://waitingforthet.tumblr.com/post/157937896015/come-on-there-are-tons-of-fantasy-lands-with-rich This]] ''ComicBook/{{Batman}}'' fanart mocks the number of Wonderland-themed villains.
122* The fanfic ''Fanfic/BetweenMyBrotherAndMeMorsOmnibus'' has so many references to this trope: the QuirkyTown is named Carroll City (after the author), quotes from both stories are stated frequently, characters are dressed up like Alice and other assorted Wonderland citizens, Yuzu and Mieru enter the Nightmare Realm via a portal, etc.
123* In ''Fanfic/EchoesOfEternity'' Maria Robotnik's favourite book is ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland''. She uses it as {{escapism}}. She's a terminally ill child who has lived on the space colony ARK her entire life, so Alice's adventures resonate with Maria. She wishes that her life on ARK was AllJustADream. Maria herself is a blue eyed, blonde girl who wears blue dresses.
124* In ''Fanfic/HopToIt'', Rabbit arrives at a meeting a few minutes after Ladybug and Chat Noir. The latter takes pleasure in singing to her, "You're late, you're late, for a very important date."
125* ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomverse'': The Infinity Train is already an allusion to ''Alice in Wonderland'' but the stories in the trilogy ramp it up further. [[ShoutOut/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail The Shout Outs page]] has a (slightly) more complete list of them in its own section.
126** ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainBlossomingTrail'': Chloe Cerise herself has read the book five times and even notes that entering the train is like following the White Rabbit (or Buneary in her case) down a rabbit hole. She actively invokes the trope by quoting various lines and naming her donut holer (pipe) "Cheshire" since The Cat tricked Randall into making a donut holer business. In fact there's so many allusion to it that the fic's ShoutOut page has an entire section dedicated to it.
127** Its prequel, ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainKnightOfTheOrangeLily'' has Gladion wish to become like the White Knight in the tale of a girl who went through a mirror. One car he enters is called the 400 Rabbits Car which is populated with talking bunnies, frozen clocks, one passenger he meets is dressed as a Mad Hatter, and there is also Kisaragi's Project Solitaire, elite warriors with a playing card motif.
128** The sequel, ''Fanfic/InfinityTrainVoyageOfWisteria'', has butterflies as a motif, particularly in the mysterious denizens Ogami and Sarang.
129* ''Fanfic/TheLegendOfTotalDramaIsland'':
130** When Heather positions herself as her team's leader during the first challenge, Gwen compares her to [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen the Queen of Hearts]], implying that Gwen does not expect Heather to be a wise or benevolent leader.
131** During "[[IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming The Tale of the Awake-a-thon]]", {{the Storyteller}} samples the poem, "The Walrus and the Carpenter" from ''Through the Looking-Glass''.
132* ''Fanfic/MetamorphosisEndOfAbraxas'': After Sei meets Alice, she thinks to herself "You can go right to hell, Alice. Or to wonderland. Or to wherever the hell you came from."
133* Halloween art for ''Blog/SingleParentsNight'' has Shadow dressing up his blonde furred, blue-eyed daughter Maria as Alice.
134* ''Fanfic/TheTyrantAndTheHero'': The Monster Lords take on the name Alice when they gain the title. The main character starts out with the name Mary (from Mary Ann, the maid that Alice was mistaken for) and physically resembles a grown-up Alice (in her human form, at least). Her younger sister Dinah is named for Alice's cat.
135* The ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' fic ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5169257/1/White-Rabbit White Rabbit]]'' takes the chain of allusions a step further: whilst training as a Mature Entry Assassin, Miss Alice Band gets overconfident in Mr Mericet's Poisons lab. She notices her latex glove is torn, but ignores it, despite having been warned the chemical agent they are preparing may be absorbed through the skin. Thus, the super-refined active agent found in ergot fungus, used by Assassins to distract the attention of the client's bodyguards whilst not actually killing them - LSD - takes her on a ''mother'' of a trip, set to music by Grace Slick and the Jefferson Airplane.

137
138[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
139%% * The Creator/WoodyAllen film entitled ''Alice''. It's the main character's name, and definitely playing with the ''Alice in Wonderland'' thing.
140* ''Film/TheAvengers1998'' has a Ministry agent named Alice. This is just one of the five {{Shout Out}}s to ''Alice in Wonderland'' in the movie.
141* ''Film/TheCompanyOfWolves'' is [[JustForFun/XMeetsY Alice in Wonderland meets Red Riding Hood]]. The main character's sister is called Alice and the dream starts off by following Alice through a surreal passage full of oversized toys (referencing going down the rabbit role, and the shrinking). Alice is also colour-coded with white, and Rosaleen with red (the White Queen and the Red Queen). Rosaleen also comes across a white rabbit as she strays from the beaten path.
142* Nedrey's annoying screensaver says 'Follow the White Rabbit' in ''Film/JurassicPark'', and the company man who wants to buy the dino-embryos from him is called Dodgson -- Lewis Carroll's real surname.
143%% * After the identity swap in ''Film/LostHighway'', Eddie encounters a doppelganger of Renee. Her name, "Alice Wakefield", seems to refer to "Alice in Wonderland", and to imply that Alice and Eddie are alternate universe, "down the rabbit-hole" versions of Fred and Renee.
144* ''Film/TheMatrix'' has several major references and countless lesser ones: Trinity's "FollowTheWhiteRabbit" clue to Neo, which corresponds to the White Rabbit tattoo on the Heartbreak High girl's shoulder which leads him to the club where they meet. In the first meeting with Morpheus, he asks Neo if he feels "like Alice, tumbling down the rabbit hole?" before the ever-so-famous speech about the RedPillBluePill: "You take the blue pill, the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes." Meanwhile Switch wears white clothes with pink glasses, Morpheus uses the martial arts stance called the cat, has lions on the side of his chair, shows Neo how reality can bend, and talks to Neo about "showing you the door, only you can walk through it," just like the Cheshire Cat bends reality and shows Alice the door in the Disney cartoon. The Oracle is the Caterpillar, with green leafy and tree-like decor, who smokes, gives food and speaks of existential issues, like the Caterpillar's "Who are you?" question to Alice in the book. The room where Neo meets Morpheus is the Looking Glass House, with the mantlepiece, mirrors, and a cat. And that's only scratching the surface.
145* ''Film/ANightmareOnElmStreet4TheDreamMaster'' has Alice Johnson, who over the course of the film acquaints herself with spectacular control over dreams ("Wonderland" anyone?), and faces her newly-uncovered looking glass before her final showdown with Fred Krueger (who she ''defeats'' by showing him a shard from a mirror).
146-->Welcome to Wonderland, Alice!
147* ''Film/PansLabyrinth'': There are plenty of allusions throughout the film to ''Alice in Wonderland'', most notably the main character (a little girl) wandering down a large (albeit staircased) hole in the ground, and at a later point wearing DoomedNewClothes which are clearly based on Alice's pinafore and hair ribbon in a WholeCostumeReference.
148* The ''Film/ResidentEvilFilmSeries''' main character is named Alice, and in [[Film/ResidentEvil2002 the first film]] there's a supercomputer called the Red Queen with a little girl as its avatar. Additionally in the first movie, they go underground to the Hive through an elevator with mirrored doors (through the looking glass), and Alice sees the T-virus being tested on a white rabbit.
149* The costume designer on ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' acknowledged the Caterpillar from ''Alice'' as an inspiration for Jabba the Hutt (although Creator/RogerEbert pointed out that Jabba's face looks more like the Cheshire Cat).
150* ''Film/TheSight'' stars Andrew [=McCarthy=] as Michael Creator/{{Lewis|Carroll}}, an architect who ends up following a child murderer across London with the help of the dead. There are a lot of Alice references, such as Lewis being hired to work on the Hatter's Hotel and Alice being the name of one of the victims.
151* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
152** In ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome'' Kirk says "Hello Alice, welcome to Wonderland" after beaming Gillian on board the Klingon ship.
153** Two scientists at the Genesis Project in ''Film/StarTrekIITheWrathOfKhan'' are called Madison and March. The {{Novelization}} goes into further details about their fondness for Lewis Carroll.
154* ''Film/SuckerPunch'' has a lot of this. Babydoll looks similar to Alice, white rabbit images appear everywhere, and the song "White Rabbit" plays during the WWI sequence.
155* In ''Film/TransformersRevengeOfTheFallen'', Alice is a [[DeceptivelyHumanRobots Deceptively Human Robot]]. With some degree of naughty tentacles [[note]](but she's got nothing on Soundwave)[[/note]]. In the adaptations, it's stated that she scanned her disguise from an ''Alice in Wonderland'' animatronic.
156* John Carpenter's ''Film/TheWard'', a story set in an insane asylum with a toy rabbit as a plot point, has Alice as the name of a ghost that apparently haunts the asylum [[spoiler: but then it is revealed Alice is the protagonist's real name...]]
157* ''Film/WhereTheTruthLies'' has the appropriately named Alice, a young singer Vince uses to blackmail Karen, who appears in an Alice in Wonderland dress, performs Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit", and is associated with psychedelic drug use.

160[[folder:Literature]]
161* ''Literature/Alice2014'': Everywhere, some more subtle than others:
162** The island/town's name is Wonderland and the he streets that Christopher has to go through to get to Joseph and Mary's house are Oyster Way and Walrus Avenue; they live on Carpenter Street.
163** The Jabberwock and Vorpal Blade, the latter as a baseball bat, but it still shows up.
164** The plot itself: Christopher is Alice, Mickey is the White Rabbit, and the other characters occasionally reference other Wonderland characters.
165** Christopher is shown in flashbacks reading ''[[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland Alice in Wonderland]]'' to the children.
166** The [[spoiler: AllJustADream]] ending, even though it's played with.
167** A portion of "Literature/{{Jabberwocky}}" and other poems from ''Alice in Wonderland'' are quoted in a flashbacks. There are also poems written in the same style as some of the ones in ''Alice in Wonderland''
168** Matthew's cat is named Cheshire and has a malformed jaw so it always looks like it's smiling.
169* The narrator of Creator/ThomasLigotti's "Alice's Last Adventure" finds her life turning into an ever-darkening Wonderland.
170* ''Literature/{{Aliss}}'':
171** This horror novel by Patrick Sénécal is a very dark, gory and sexually explicit retelling of ''Alice in Wonderland''. Wonderland is a strange neighbourhood in Montreal. The White Rabbit is a ashamed pedophiliac based on Lewis Carroll. The Red Queen is a sadistic bordello owner. The Cheshire Cat is a smiling junkie [[spoiler:whose only drug is the souls of dying humans]]. The Mad Hatter and the March Hare are lovers, their names are Bone and Chair ("Bone" is from the English and "Chair" is French from "Flesh" and they kill and dissect people to prove that humans have no souls.) The Knave of Heart is Alice's lover (at least, from her point of view.) The Catterpillar (called "Verrue" which mean "Wart") is a drug addict junkie who think that he'll became a butterfly one day. (Even if he's human like all the others characters.) The Duchess and the White Queen are fused into one character who's name is Andromaque; she's also a a bordello owner but she's nicer and more classy than the Red Queen... and she always talks in rhymes. Yeesh.
172* Humpty Dumpty is the murder victim in ''[[Literature/NurseryCrimes The Big Over Easy]]''. While the nursery rhyme predates ''Through the Looking Glass'', there's a specific reference to him having a framed portrait of himself by Tenniel, and the crime scene investigators discuss whether he was wearing a belt or a cravat.
173* In ''Literature/CardForceInfection'' Alicia uses numerous Wonderland themed cards in her deck, including Mad Hat, White Rabbit, Mimsy Borogove, Cheshire Cat, and of course the Queen of Hearts.
174* The ''Literature/{{Discworld}}'' has a minor character called Lady Alice Venturi, a noblewoman from one of Ankh-Morpork's great families, who led a sheltered life and then decided what she'd ''really'' like to do was to explore the Disc's version of DarkestAfrica. Unfortunately her sheltered life led her to be blissfully ignorant of a lot of the things the natives got up to; her sketches, paintings and descriptions of native fertility rites thus became best-sellers when she got home, recouping the costs of her expeditions many times over, attracting packed houses to her lectures (with lantern-slides), and several obscenity actions. Her passage through "Africa" was marked by groups of sniggering natives wondering how much more crap they could get past the radar, in the guise of newly-invented traditional fertility dances, before she cottoned on. Mainly meant as a parody of those GrandeDame Victorian women who went to Africa on solo journeys, and who got out alive by looking imperious and shouting ''very loudly'' at the natives, Creator/TerryPratchett slips in a concealed joke here: an innocent Victorian woman knowing nothing about sex and going "oh my goodness!" in a bizarrely strange place is, of course, ''Alice in [[DarkestAfrica Howondaland]]''. One thing of note about this ShoutOut in particular is that Terry Pratchett HATED Alice In Wonderland, so this would also classify as a TakeThat .
175* Creator/FrancesHardinge's ''Literature/AFaceLikeGlass'' has the protagonist, Neverfell, led out of her confinement by a white rabbit. Besides, the world that Neverfell inhabits operates under rather warped logic and many characters, including the protagonist herself, are at least a little mad.
176* In ''Literature/{{Furthermore}}'', a girl named Alice is having adventures in a very strange land Furthermore, where laws of nature themselves are mutable and Time is a person you can talk to. Not to mention "Killing Time" is an actual crime there and you can be executed (by [[ToServeMan being eaten]]) for even flimsier reasons. And you get there through a magical hole. And sometimes you shrink in size.
177* In ''Girl in the Shadows'' by Creator/VCAndrews, the protagonist was named Alice in the hope that she would one day "fall into a Wonderland" and escape the fate of her mother, who is in a mental institution.
178* ''Literature/GoAskAlice'', a 1971 "true story" anti-drug book that turned out to be mostly fictional.
179* In ''Literature/JaneOfLanternHill'' by Creator/LMMontgomery, Jane explicitly tried sitting before mirrors in hopes she could emulate Alice. She finally stopped when accused of doing it for vanity.
180* ''Literature/HarryPotter'':
181** How intentional they are is difficult to gauge, but Luna Lovegood has many ''Alice in Wonderland'' parallels to her; she's a young blonde girl with an (over)active imagination, is associated with hares and rabbits and often seen as "mad".
182** The "Wizard's Chess" scene in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone'' is an allusion to the chess sequence from ''Through the Looking Glass''.
183* Sort of in ''Literature/TheLastDragonChronicles''. When David reads her an [[spoiler:alternate universe version of Alice in Wonderland, Penny imagines up an image of a dragon child as Alice.]]
184* ''Literature/MagicalGirlRaisingProject'':
185** Hardgore Alice is a magical girl who wears a black version of Alice's outfit and carries a white rabbit plushie. Her unique power besides the usual enhanced strength and speed all magical girls get is a very powerful HealingFactor that lets her recover from being reduced to LudicrousGibs.
186** A later arc introduces Grim Heart, a villain styled after the Queen of Hearts. Naturally, all she ever says is "Off with your head". She also has a minion named Shufflin who stands in for her card soldiers.
187* "Literature/MimsyWereTheBorogoves" is a science fiction short story by Lewis Padgett (a pseudonym of Henry Kuttner and C. L. Moore) where it is revealed that the words in ''Jabberwocky'' come from a future language that [[ChildrenAreSpecial only children can fully understand]]. The children protagonists of the story acquire a set of scripts of this language which, if properly comprehended, can construct the formula for a time-space equation enabling them to travel to the alien destination, which they are actually able to do. (Another scene in the story shows a young Alice Liddell - the real one - talking to Carroll while reading a different set of the futuristic scripts (presumably with a different purpose); she can only partially understand them, as she's around twelve now, and he can't comprehend them at all, but he says he'll use them in his writings...)
188* In the science fiction novel ''Literature/NationOfTheThirdEye'' by K.K. Savage, the main female character is Alice Grant. Together with her friends she develops unusual abilities - opening of the ThirdEye, AstralProjection, meeting strange HumanAliens and not so human ones. . . There is another character by the name of Commander Hatfield - a reference to the Mad Hatter. One of the earliest scenes is where they all have tea in the Captain's library that looks like straight out of 19th century Victorian England, even though it is located on a spaceship carrier. It is during this "tea party" that the male protagonist [[spoiler: has his first past-life vision, which starts off by him falling for a long time.]]
189* "Never Seen By Waking Eyes" and "The Vision of a Vanished Good" by Creator/StephenDedman feature an eight-year-old girl named Alice who's been eight years old long enough to have known Lewis Carroll personally.
190* In the ''Literature/NickVelvet'' stories, Nick's frequent rival is Sandra Paris: a ClassyCatBurglar who specialises in {{Impossible Theft}}s. She uses the alias 'The White Queen', and her [[MyCard business card]] reads "Impossible Things Before Breakfast".
191* One of the secondary characters in ''Literature/NightWatchSeries'' and ''Day Watch'' is a witch named Alisa Donnikova. In a story told from her viewpoint, she briefly compares herself to her namesake from Creator/LewisCarroll's story.
192* Alice Samara of Michelle Latiolais's ''A Proper Knowledge'' is known for her intriguingly unconventional floral sculptures and becomes the ManicPixieDreamGirl for Luke, the brooding male protagonist.
193* In ''Literature/{{Snyper}}'', Phil criticizes Persephone's "Queen of Hearts" treatment of his blonde secretary Ashley, leading to a greater discussion and a suggestion that the girl dress as Alice for Halloween. Ash [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure doesn't get the reference]], thinking she means ''Film/{{Resident Evil|FilmSeries}}''.
194* ''Literature/SplinteredSeries'':
195** The female descendants of the Liddell family all have similar names to [[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland the original Alice]]. There's Alyssa, her mother Alison, and her grandmather, Alicia.
196** In one of the short stories from ''Untamed'', the granddaughter closest to Alyssa in appearance and behavior is named Alisia.
197* Alice Zuberg from ''Literature/SwordArtOnline'', with the theme of a person from the real world falling into a fantasy one. Her outfit as a child has the exact color scheme as [[WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland Disney's Alice]] with the blue and white dress. There have also been quite a few references to the story when discussing Alice, with ''Alice in Wonderland'' being namedropped a few times when talking about Rath and the Underworld. In ''Fatal Bullet'', Subtilizer directly references this by mentioning a "rabbit" heading to Wonderland before adding he'll see Alice again soon.
198* Near the end of Mark Dunn's ''Under the Harrow,'' a girl named Alice is saved from [[spoiler: dying in a massacre]] by falling down a dark hole.
199* Similarly to how the blonde Alice meets a talking goat on train, the blonde Glinda meets a talking Goat, Dr. Dillamond, on a train to Shiz University in ''Literature/{{Wicked}}''. Oz is also an unusual land comparable to both Wonderland and the Looking Glass.

202[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
203* ''Series/Batwoman2019'': Alice, the insane Creator/LewisCarroll-quoting leader of the Wonderland gang, is the ArcVillain of Season One.
204* In the season 8 episode of ''Series/Charmed1998'' "Malice in Wonderland" teenagers, all of whom are named with some variation of the name "Alice" (Alicia, Alexis, Alistair) are being lured down a manhole by a demon, who either shape-shifted into a white rabbit or was wearing a t-shirt with a white rabbit on it inviting them to a garden party and telling them they are very late. They turn up later with no memory and appear to have gone insane from the Wonderland-inspired illusions they experienced "down the rabbit hole".
205* ''Series/{{CSI}}'':
206** An episode features three college students doing research into the afterlife involving heavy use of paralytics, hallucinogenics, and sensory deprivation. The sole female student [[spoiler:and the only one to make it out alive]] was named Alice. Especially jarring given she was Japanese.
207** The episode called "Malice in Wonderland", in which an ''Alice in Wonderland''-themed wedding ended up with the groom dying when [[spoiler: the force from a blank round propelled the button on his Mad Hatter hat into his brain.]]
208* ''Series/{{CSINY}}'' uses the title "[[Recap/CSINYS04E05 Down the Rabbit Hole]]" for its Second Life-themed episode, making a 'Second Life/Wonderland' comparison. There's actually a white rabbit in the game who does indeed disappear down a hole.
209* The ''Series/DoctorWho'' serial "[[Recap/DoctorWhoS6E2TheMindRobber The Mind Robber]]" involves the crew falling into a story dimension that has a great deal of influence from ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland''. They are lured into it by a White Robot.
210* The ''Series/{{Dollhouse}}'' season 1 episode "Echoes" has Echo leave an engagement to follow a news story to a nearby college, where she becomes infected with a hallucinogenic memory drug, meets various characters known to both Echo and Caroline who aren't quite themselves and uses a manhole to break into a building. The personality imprint she has at the time is named "Alice", and she is wearing a sort tunic dress, thigh high stockings and Mary Jane style high heeled shoes.
211* ''Series/ForeverKnight''. The FeverDreamEpisode "Curiouser and Curiouser" has Nick Knight falling asleep, having a dream where all kinds of bizarre things happen, then finding out it's AllJustADream. It's full of Lewis Carroll {{Shout Out}}s as [[https://foreverknight.fandom.com/wiki/Lewis_Carroll_connections_in_Curiouser_and_Curiouser listed here]].
212* The B-plot of the ''Series/{{Grimm}}'' episodes "Dyin' On a Prayer" and "Cry Luison" has Adalind running through Kronenberg Castle trying to find her baby. In the first one she finds herself in a room full of stone heads which start crying, creating a pool of tears that almost drowns her. In the second, she chases her reflection, finds herself in a nursery with a door that's too small to get through, and sees the baby in a basket ... and when she picks the baby up, it turns into a pig and she falls through a hole in the floor. (The episode before "Dyin' On a Prayer", "The Last Fight", also had a subtle nod to the cake that says "EAT ME", when Adalind is given a brownie ... which frankly [[MushroomSamba could explain a lot of what followed]].)
213* In ''Series/{{Heroes}}'', Angela Petrelli's sister is named Alice. Her favorite book was ''Alice in Wonderland''.
214* ''Series/TheIncredibleHulk1977: "[[Recap/TheIncredibleHulk1977S2E7AliceInDiscoLand Alice in Disco Land]]" The episode's title character is an alcoholic teenage disco dancer who has nightmarish hallucinations of John Tenniel's illustrations, Banner has flashbacks of reading the story to her when she was a child, and she later directly references it:
215--> '''Alice Morrow''' (while standing on a billboard high above the street): Daddy, where's the white rabbit? WHERE'S THE WHITE RABBIT IN WONDERLAND?
216* On ''Series/{{Leverage}}'', Parker often uses the alias Alice White. And one of the main character in the series is something of a chess fiend, which also plays a thematic role and code throughout the series. In the last shot of the series, it could be said Parker crossed the Red King's chessboard and became a queen herself, much like Alice did.
217* ''Series/{{Lost}}'' is filled with literary allusions in general, and is especially fond of stories where someone is magically transported to another place. This goes for ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'', ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'', and the Alice books. For example, Christian Shepherd is compared to the White Rabbit in a first season episode of the same name. In the sixth season, sideways-Jack finds his old house's keys under a White Rabbit statue.
218* The episode of ''Series/TheMuppetShow'' guest starring Brooke Shields had an Alice In Wonderland theme with Shields as Alice. The episode reenacted several scenes from the book with Muppet characters including a Jabberwock Muppet that was surprisingly faithful to the Tenniel illustrations. And in true Muppet fashion, the final number of the show is [[Film/TheWizardOfOz We're Off to See the Wizard]].
219* ''Series/MurdochMysteries'': The season 4 finale called "Murdoch in Wonderland" abounds with references and allusions to ''Alice in Wonderland''. The characters go to a costume party to honour the late Creator/LewisCarroll. Detective Murdoch is dressed as the Mad Hatter and Dr. Julia Ogden is Alice. They play croquet, drink "potion" from flasks and write together a non-sense mirror-flipped poem. Murdoch gets [[IntoxicationEnsues drugged]] and has disturbing visions of falling down the hole or being too big to enter a door. A piece of beauty, this episode.
220* The ''Series/OnceUponATime'' episode that introduces Wonderland has a few of these, despite being an origin story for the Mad Hatter. His young daughter is a blond-haired Alice lookalike, she has a stuffed white rabbit and makes him promise not to be late for her tea party.
221* One episode of ''Series/{{Raines}}'' has a victim named Alice. The connection to Wonderland shapes some of Raines's hallucinations of her.
222* ''Series/SabrinaTheTeenageWitch'' has one episode where she ends up going down the rabbit hole to look after four clues on her boyfriend's watch. Down there she finds counterparts of her friends as the Caterpillar, Mad Hatter, March Hare and Queen of Hearts.
223* ''Franchise/StarTrek'':
224** The ''Series/StarTrekTheOriginalSeries'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekS1E15ShoreLeave Shore Leave]]" starts with [=McCoy=] comparing an alien planet to ''Alice in Wonderland''--before running into a talking rabbit and a little blonde girl.
225** ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' makes a nod in the episode title "[[Recap/StarTrekDeepSpaceNineS03E19ThroughTheLookingGlass Through the Looking Glass]]", about an adventure in the MirrorUniverse.
226** In the ''Series/StarTrekDiscovery'' episode "[[Recap/StarTrekDiscoveryS1E03ContextIsForKings Context Is for Kings]]", Burnham quotes the passage down the rabbit hole to herself while crawling through an AirVentPassageway to escape the enraged tardigrade. She later tells her roommate Cadet Tilly that her foster mother Amanda Grayson used to read it to her and her brother Spock when they were kids. [[spoiler: It also foreshadows TheReveal that Captain Lorca, Burnham's new boss, is from the Mirror Universe.]]
227--->'''Burnham:''' That's how I learned that the real world doesn't always adhere to logic. Sometimes down is up. Sometimes up is down. Sometimes, when you're lost, you're found.
228* Alice [=DeRaey=], the protagonist on the appropriately-titled ''Series/ThisIsWonderland'', which also started its opening credits with Lewis Carroll's poem "You Are Old, Father William," includes characters like a StepfordSmiler with a heart-motif coffeecup, a [[CheshireCatGrin perpetually grinning]] and capricious judge, a man who loses track of time and runs away, a tea-drinking man who wears a big hat sometimes, and a scruffy, over-excitable March Hare type. A few of these connections may be FanWank, however. Unlike most Alices, she was a DeadpanSnarker who swore under her breath.
229* Alice shows up on ''Series/Warehouse13'' after she gets out of the mirror, but she's AxCrazy. Bonus points awarded for using the Jefferson Airplane song in the soundtrack of the episode.
230* ''Series/TheXFiles'': In the episode "[[Recap/TheXFilesS04E10PaperHearts Paper Hearts]]", Agent Mulder has to face again a convicted [[PaedoHunt child molester]] and SerialKiller who was caught thanks to Mulder's psychological profile. He cut [[CreepySouvenir cloth hearts]] from his victims' clothes and kept them hidden in a copy of ''Alice in Wonderland''. The phrase 'Mad Hat' appeared in Mulder's dreams and also as a mark near a newly found crime scene. The murderer used to live in Alice Road in Boston, and Mulder concludes that that's how he got the idea and that he took the role of the Hatter. There was a shot with the hearts and the little girls' names attached to them, but none of them was named Alice, yet one victim was not identified...

232
233[[folder:Music]]
234* Music/{{Aerosmith}}'s "Sunshine", which along with the lyrics ("I sold my soul for a one night standI followed Alice into Wonderland...") has [[https://youtu.be/3rV8hYVWjRo a video]] featuring Wonderland scenes with Steven Tyler as the Mad Hatter.
235* Music/AliceCooper. He even wears a big top hat, like the Mad Hatter.
236* Music/AliceInChains has one of the band's posters featuring Alice with the Cheshire Cat.
237* Arika Takarano from ALI Project used to wear this image quite often. "Megalopolice-ALICE", "Atashi ga ALICE datta Koro", etc. Their Rozen Maiden openings, because the ALICE metaphor was a key one in this anime, and we have Allica's photo with Shinku's doll in her hands...
238* ASP's ''Im Märchenland'' contains serveral Alice-Allusions, for example the line "Komm, iss mich, trink mich und versink!" (Come on, eat me, drink me and sink in), along with references to other fairy tales.
239* The Music/{{Ayria}} song "Blue Alice" alludes to Alice and the Mad Hatter, as well as other fairy tale figures.
240* An instrumental by ex-Music/{{Yes}} drummer Bill Bruford is called "Fainting In Coils", a reference to a comment the Mock Turtle makes about an "old conger-eel" "drawling, stretching and fainting in coils". [[spoiler:A pun on art critic John Ruskin visiting the Liddells, teaching them tips on ''drawing, sketching and painting in oils'', according to Website/{{Wikipedia}}]].
241* Dom Mclennon from Music/{{BROCKHAMPTON}} mentions Alice in "Bump", as a reference to how strong his drug of choice is.
242--> ''Smoke some shit straight outta Alice in Wonderland''
243* Music/BuckTick has "Alice In [=WonderUnderground=]."
244* Music/CaptainBeefheart's "Beatle Bones And Smokin' Stones" from ''Music/StrictlyPersonal'':
245--> ''Soft-cracker bats, Cheshire cats''
246* [[The70s 1970s]] ProgressiveRock label Creator/CharismaRecords, home to The Nice, Lindisfarne and Music/{{Genesis|Band}}, often had a sketch by John Tenniel of the Mad Hatter's Tea Party on the record label, [[http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/8b/The_famous_Charisma_label.jpg as can be seen here]].
247* VisualKei band Music/{{D}} briefly had this as their theme, with the single "[[https://youtu.be/RtpeyJItnno Yami no kuni no Alice]]" and the Alice in Dark Edge tour.
248* "White Rabbit" by Music/EgyptCentral references the famous opening of the original book as a metaphor for an abusive relationship.
249-->''Your magic, white rabbit\
250Has left its writing on the wall\
251We follow, like Alice\
252And just keep falling down the hole''
253* Music/EmilieAutumn uses a lot of Alice imagery, such as lolita fashion, Victorian furniture and MagicalRealism.(most notable in her book, Literature/TheAsylumForWaywardVictorianGirls).
254* The Music/FlorenceAndTheMachine song "Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up)" contains several literary references, including ''Alice in Wonderland'' ones.
255-->''The looking glass, so shiny and new\
256How quickly the glamour fades\
257I started spinning, slipping out of time\
258Was that the wrong pill to take?''
259* Music/FuckedUp: The music video for "Year of the Hare" is a disorienting video about a guy stuck in time loops, that features frequent references to white rabbits. There's even an EasterEgg that [[ShoutOut links]] to a Youtube clip of the White Rabbit's first appearance in ''WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland''.
260* The [[https://youtu.be/f5qICl3Fr3w music video]] for [[Music/NoDoubt Gwen Stefani's]] "What You Waiting For" has multiple references to ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland'', including the White Rabbit, giant Alice, the mad tea party, and the song itself has a "tick tock" refrain.
261* [[ElectronicMusic Electronic dance music]] event organizer Insomniac Events puts on several Wonderland-themed festivals: [[LighterAndSofter Beyond Wonderland]], [[DarkerAndEdgier Nocturnal Wonderland]], [[HalloweenEpisode Escape from Wonderland]], [[NewYearHasCome White Wonderland]], and [[BeachEpisode Wet Wonderland]].
262* {{Music/IU}}'s mini-album Chat-shire is themed after a DarkerAndEdgier Alice in Wonderland, with the Chatshire cat and the White rabbit appearing in the music video for ''Twenty-three'', and there is a track named ''Red Queen''
263* Music/JeffersonAirplane singer Grace Slick has always said that "White Rabbit" from ''Music/SurrealisticPillow'' was intended as a slap toward parents who read their children stories such as ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'' (in which Alice uses several drug-like substances in order to change herself) and then wondered why their children grew up to do drugs. For Grace and others in the '60s, drugs were an inevitable part of mind-expanding and social experimentation. Remade by [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collide_(band) Collide]] for ''Film/ResidentEvilExtinction''.
264* Music/JohnLennon of Music/TheBeatles fame was a huge fan of Creator/LewisCarroll. He said that "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" from ''Music/SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand'' was inspired by the novel. Incidentally, Carroll also appears on the album cover. Lennon also [[WordOfGod mentioned in interviews]] that "I Am the Walrus" from ''Music/MagicalMysteryTour'' is a reference to "The Walrus and the Carpenter", but in retrospect, was embarrassed to learn that the hero of the poem was supposed to be the carpenter.
265* In the music video for "Walking on Air" by Music/{{Kerli}}, the old man delivering the doll in the beginning resembles the Mad Hatter.
266* Music/LindseyStirling and Music/ZZWard have one song, "Hold My Heart", where [[GenderFlip Alex]] falls down a rabbit hole, then goes after the rabbit (played by Lindsey) while ZZ Ward sings as the Red Queen. There is even a tea party and shrinking potion.
267* "Forget" by Music/MarinaDiamandis mentions "Chasing rabbits down a hole."
268* "Mad Hatter" by Music/MelanieMartinez is a SanitySlippageSong where the protagonist of ''Music/{{Cry Baby|Album}}'' compares herself to the MadHatter.
269* There are references to Alice in two different Music/{{Nightwish|Band}} songs in the album ''Imaginaerum''.
270-->''Follow the madness Alice you know once did...''
271--> ''Where's dear Alice knocking on the door? Where's the trapdoor that takes me there? Where the real is shattered by a Mad March Hare.''
272* Music/PinkFloyd's song "Country Song", recorded during the ''Zabriskie Point'' soundtrack sessions, references the Red Queen and the White King from ''Through the Looking Glass''. The song has ven been referred to as "The Red Queen Theme" at times.
273** There's also a [[PopCultureUrbanLegends pop culture urban legend]] similar to [[Music/TheDarkSideOfTheMoon Dark Side of]] [[Film/TheWizardOfOz Oz]] that ''Music/TheWall'' (while not a part of this trope) syncs up with the Disney animated movie, the only catch being "Comfortably Numb" must be skipped.
274* "Hey Alice" by Rachel Macwhirter is a VillainSong about a patrionizing someone questioning Alice on her dream adventures
275-->''Hey, Alice, how's your Wonderland now that you're back on Earth?''
276* Music/{{Radiohead}}'s "Jigsaw Falling into Place" from ''Music/InRainbows''.
277--> ''You got a Cheshire cat grin.''
278* "Her Name is Alice" by Music/{{Shinedown}} is one big reference to the books.
279-->''I invite you to a world where there is no such thing as time\
280And every creature lends themself to change your state of mind\
281And the girl that chased the rabbit, drank the wine, and took the pill\
282Has locked herself in limbo to see how it truly feels''
283* "Cheshire Kitten (We're All Mad Here)" by Music/SJTucker is a PerspectiveFlip song from the Cheshire Cat's POV.
284* [[https://youtu.be/Yzf4qt_VvGc This music video]] from ''Splean'' has rabbits, a tea party and other Alice references.
285* "Wonderland" by Music/TaylorSwift uses shout-outs to ''Alice in Wonderland'' to describe a fairy-tale romance that descended into madness.
286* The music video for Music/TomPetty's "Don't Come Around Here No More" is a surrealistic ''Alice In Wonderland'' pastiche with Petty as the Mad Hatter, complete with top hat.
287* [[https://youtu.be/mnsMR7mba0Q "White Rabbit"]] by Creator/TrixieMattel, with references to the shrinking potion and the looking glass.
288* Music/{{Vocaloid}}... there are countless songs based on Alice In Wonderland; the most famous example being [[https://youtu.be/j6MltGHO-lE Hitobashira Alice/Alice Human Sacrifice]]. [[https://youtu.be/AoeAiJJx03s Another]] is GUMI's "[[{{GrowingUpSucks}} Goodbye To Alice]]
289* Music/RedHook's album ''Postcard from a Living Hell" uses this mainly as a metaphor for psychological trauma, most obviously in the tracks "Jabberwocky" (where vocalist Emmy Mack appears as Alice in the music video) and "Off With Your Head" (where she appears as the Queen of Hearts).
290[[/folder]]
291
292[[folder:Tabletop Games]]
293* ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'':
294** ''[=EX1=] Dungeonland'' and ''[=EX2=] The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror'', are "D&D-ified" versions of the ''Alice'' books. (The Mock Turtle becomes a dragon turtle, the "monstrous crow" is a roc, etc.)
295** The 5th edition module ''Out of the Abyss'' draws inspiration from Wonderland for its presentation of the Underdark. Although no direct references are made, the Forward for the module credits it as one its the primary inspirations.
296* ''TabletopGame/JAGSWonderland'' is all about the chaotic, infectious, hungry mess that Wonderland really is.
297* In ''TabletopGame/SLAIndustries'', there is a drug named Alice that causes severe hallucinations that replace the user's normal senses so well that he thinks the hallucinations are the real world.
298[[/folder]]
299
300[[folder:Theater]]
301* Notes for ''Theatre/{{Eurydice}}'' indicate the Underworld should resemble Alice in Wonderland more than traditional Hades.
302* In ''Theatre/{{Mystere}}'', Alice is the unofficial name of the toy snail and [[SecurityBlanket lovey]] that the baby girl loses at the beginning of the story, which results in a journey through a MagicalLand to find it.
303* In ''Theatre/JasperInDeadland'', Jasper's fall into Deadland is inspired by Alice falling down the rabbit hole, and the Underworld being called "Deadland" is an obvious reference to "Wonderland".
304[[/folder]]
305
306[[folder:Toys]]
307* ''Toys/EverAfterHigh'' stars the SpinOffspring of various fairy tale and fairy tale-esque characters. Madeline "Maddie" Hatter is the daughter of the MadHatter, Kitty Cheshire is the Cheshire Cat's daughter, Lizzie Hearts is of course the daughter of the Queen of Hearts, Bunny Blanc that of the White Rabbit and, in a rare male example, Alistair Wonderland is the son of Alice.

310[[folder:Video Games]]
311* ''VideoGame/AliceInTheMirrorsOfAlbion'''s borrows many characters and story elements from ''Alice in Wonderland'' as its main plot. The player is tasked to investigate the disappearance of a young girl named Alice, and throughout the cases is helped by famous figures such as The Mad Hatter, The Cheshire Cat and so on.
312* ''VideoGame/AliceIsDead'' features some characters from the original story, but in a much edgier setting. The White Rabbit is a hitman who works with the Mad Hatter. Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum are bouncers, and the Red Queen is a nightclub singer.
313* Alice, the mascot character of ''Creator/AliceSoft''.
314* ''VideoGame/AnotherSight'' has main character Kit, a blonde and [[DeadpanSnarker observant]] young girl who falls into the london underground and wanders through a fantastic realm accompanied by Hodge, a seemingly ordinary cat, through an increasingly fantastic series of locales populated by famous intellectuals from her time period around the end of the eighteen-hundreds. She even says [[LampshadeHanging "I feel like Alice in Wonderland!"]] at one point.
315* ''VideoGame/AriasStory'': Chapter 2, Fairy Tales, has as part of its FairyTaleFreeForAll a rabbit NPC, obviously the White Rabbit, who says he is late to a tea party. Said tea party is filled by various other versions of the White Rabbit, all from different copies of ''Alice's Adventures in Wonderland''. This includes [[spoiler:the KillerRabbit, one of the major antagonists]].
316* Alice, the TokenMiniMoe in the ''VideoGame/AsuraSeries'' series.
317* ''VideoGame/AzureStrikerGunvolt2'' features villains with FairytaleMotifs, and one villain [[spoiler:(the main villain, even)]] sports Alice Allusion, starting from her blond hair topped with hair decs that looks like rabbit ears and goes on from there.
318* ''VideoGame/BioShock'':
319** The ''VideoGame/BioShock2'' AlternateRealityGame "There is Something in the Sea!" has Orrin Oscar [[MeaningfulName Lutwidge]] (AKA [[IHaveManyNames Orson Orville Liddel, Ogdred O. Lewis and RØd Killian Quain]]), an ''Alice in Wonderland''-obsessed polymath trickster who found out about the existence of Rapture and became possibly the only normal person from the surface to visit it and return to tell the tale.
320** ''VideoGame/BioShockInfiniteBurialAtSea'' features a short but surreal art film "[[https://youtu.be/la9EjcUAYIY?t=121 The March Hare]]" laden with Alice in Wonderland-inspired symbolism, made by Rapture's resident MadArtist Sanders Cohen.
321* In the ''VideoGame/BloodyRoar'' series of {{fighting game}}s, where every character has a furry SuperMode, Alice can turn into a white rabbit.
322* ''VideoGame/CassetteBeasts'' has the Archangel Alice. In order to get through her station, the player must repeatedly grow and shrink by eating a cake or drinking from a bottle, respectively. Alice herself resembles a blonde woman with a Queen of Hearts motif, and she has the power to grow and shrink in battle.
323* The first case in ''VideoGame/TheDarksideDetective'' is titled "Malice in Wonderland", and revolves around a little girl called Alice who has gone missing [[spoiler:after going through a magical portal and getting trapped in another world]].
324* ''VideoGame/DeathEndReQuest'' has several references, including the Alice Engine that powers "World's Odyssey's" AI, the White Rabbit headset that connects players to the game, a female protagonist trapped in another world and a character literally named Alice who directly references the story. Also, whether by pure coincidence or as a deliberate ProductionThrowback by Creator/CompileHeart, protagonist Shina Ninomiya's appearance outside of "World's Odyssey" is nearly identical to the ''VideoGame/MarySkelter'' rendition of Alice.
325* The sequel to ''VideoGame/DragonsLair'' has a whole Wonderland-based level.
326* The player heroine from ''VideoGame/{{Dreamkiller}}'' is named Alice, and is a DreamWeaver who can enter and exit nightmares of people to help them battle their fears and purge whatever phobias they have in their minds. The entire game being set in DreamLand makes the Wonderland allusion even more blatant.
327* In ''VideoGame/{{Draugen}}'', Lissie once mentions going DownTheRabbitHole. Edward (the PlayerCharacter) instantly recognizes the [[Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland source of the quote]]. Bonus points for her real name being Alice.
328* ''VideoGame/EmbricOfWulfhammersCastle'': The [[OddJobGods God of Tardiness]] is said to be a White Rabbit, a reference to the White Rabbit character who is introduced being late for the Hatter's tea party.
329* ''VideoGame/EpicMickey'' does not feature any Alice, but [[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse Mickey]] accesses Wasteland (which is only a few letters away from Wonderland and intentionally so) by going through a mirror and spends the first half of the game trying to get to [[WesternAnimation/OswaldTheLuckyRabbit a rabbit]]. The parallel was to be lampshaded in a line of the later cancelled graphic novel sequel; after the Mad Doctor would sing his first song and then use his machine to go away in a flash, Mickey was to comment: "People come and go so quickly here…".
330* ''VideoGame/EtrianOdysseyIIITheDrownedCity'': [[ShoutOut An Alice-lookalike]] appears as one of the optional [[FarmBoy Farmer]] designs. As with all Farmers, she's a nature-loving explorer who is ill-suited for battle but excels at field- and exploration-based skills, thus securing the survival of the player's party as they dive deeper through the aquatic Yggdrasil that grew close to Armoroad. Not coincidentially, the game has a bigger allegory to ''Alice in Wonderland'' during the latter half of the story: [[spoiler:A kingly, yet antagonistic civilization that inhabits the eponymous Deep City is met after the third dungeon, and features not only a regal shrine but also an illusory forest where it's easy to get lost]].
331* ''VideoGame/FarCry3'' starts with a quote from the story: "In another moment down went Alice after it, never once considering how in the world she was to get out again". Other quotes from ''Alice in Wonderland''/''Through the Looking-Glass'' follow, but the first one is especially fitting for a game involving [[MushroomSamba trippy hallucinations]] and [[spoiler:[[ProtagonistJourneyToVillain the main character's]] ever-accelerating [[SanitySlippage plunge into madness]]]].
332* ''VideoGame/FateExtra'' has a Master ''and her Servant'' who are both named Alice. Her Servant, a Caster, can summon stuff from Wonderland like the Nameless Forest and the invincible Jabberwock.
333* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'':
334** Nursery Rhyme, the aforementioned Caster from ''Fate/EXTRA'', who retains her black Alice appearance from said game, is one of the many Servants that appear in that game, first appearing the first Christmas event alongside Jack the Ripper, and then both her and Jack appearing as antagonists in the "Fourth Singularity: "The Mist City: London" shortly after. She's later been summoned as a Servant in Chaldea and makes continuous appearances in events and she's one of the few Servants capable of communicating with animals. While the Alice form is the one she uses the most, Nursery is actually a shapeshifter and normally changes her appearance according to her Master, and one of her default forms is that of a big fairy tale book. In "Hell Realm Mandala, Heiankyo", Nursery initially takes the appearance of a young Japanese girl to suit her Master until she changes back to her Alice form.
335** The 2nd Ascension of Artoria Caster's Berserker form is modeled after Alice and also comes with bunny ears.
336* ''VideoGame/FranBow'' has a generally DarkerAndEdgier wonderland theme, with a small EasterEgg photo showing the main character posing with an Alice lookalike.
337* ''VideoGame/TheGreatGianaSisters'' is about a blonde little girl who dresses in blue and goes on adventures in the weird-and-spooky Dream World (also known as Gessert Kingdom). There's even a boss in ''VideoGame/GianaSistersTwistedDreams'' called Gurglewocky.
338* ''VideoGame/AGirlAdrift'': The the recurring March [[HolidayMode time limited event]], "Alice's Tea Time," rewards players with Alice-y re-skins of all basic gear. This includes a blonde wig, blue dress with white apron, a Cheshire-cat companion, and Weapon Skins that turn the harpoon, turret, machine gun, and crystal into tea pots.
339* Arisu Tachibana in ''VideoGame/TheIdolmasterCinderellaGirls'' is implied to be named after Alice, though she thinks it's childish and would usually prefer people call her on a LastNameBasis. The radio drama track of her CD single is indeed called "Arisu in Wonderland", where she is persuaded into saying dialogue like a fairy tale for a concert with [[BunnyGirl Nana]].
340* Lots in ''VideoGame/KingdomOfLoathing''. In addition to the Looking Glass Clan VIP item, which takes you to Wonderland, there is also the Cheshire Bat, the Wild Hare (which carries a pocketwatch), a Mad Hatrack, a Frumious Bandersnatch, the Alice's Army card game (where the cards take the form similar to the soldiers from the Disney film). This is because each month new special donation content is added, and this usually has a theme related to the month. March = March Hare = Alice in Wonderland is the usual March theme.
341* In ''VideoGame/TheLongestJourney'', when [[EccentricMentor Cortez]] helps April travel to [[AnotherDimension Arcadia]] for the first time, he deliberately invokes this imagery to her: "Why, Alice, I am sending you through the looking glass!"
342* ''VideoGame/LoveNikkiDressUpQueen'': The game features multiple suits and items that reference Alice in Wonderland:
343** Items include the "Space Travel" skirt (part of the "Time Idol" set) with the description "Have you even imagined yourself chasing a rabbit and falling into a world of fairy tales someday?" There's also the "Bunny Ears Blue" hat with the description "Maybe it's the hat Alice took from the fantasy world. Nikki should have been in the fantasy world now."
344** Suits include "Sea Mirror Journey", "Alice's Time Gate", and the aptly named "Alice in Wonderland".
345* ''VideoGame/TheMaidOfFairewellHeights'': There's an Alice costume for the Alice Shop, which sells Cakes, Tea, Mushrooms, and Cards, and whose customers are Queens who use OffWithHisHead, and servants. Also, the first customer is one who is worrying about being late.
346* Namco's [[NoExportForYou Japanese-only]] arcade / PC Engine game ''Märchen Maze'' has you play as a young girl named Alice, who is summoned to a fantasy world through going into a mirror by a white rabbit, and tasked with destroying a [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen red-wearing queen]] with [[{{Mooks}} minions that are heart-themed playing cards]].
347* ''VideoGame/MarySkelter'':
348** Being heavily based on fairy tales, the first ''Mary Skelter'' has Alice as the leading female. The part of the Jail where she and main character [[Literature/JackAndTheBeanstalk Jack]] are held is heavily inspired by Alice in Wonderland, her Blood Ability "Rabbit Hole" lets her save the game and instantly escape the dungeon, she has an obsession with logic, and she has a minor freak-out when she sees a tea set for the first time and instantly knows everything about tea parties. It turns out that she (like the rest of the playable characters) [[spoiler:is a HalfHumanHybrid born from a pregnant woman being transformed into a fairy tale-themed monster by the Jail, and that her subconscious is constantly trying to mimic traits of Alice from ''Alice in Wonderland''.]] She has short black hair despite all of this, closer to Alice Liddell than the traditional blonde depiction of Alice.
349** ''Mary Skelter 2'' uses another reference for a FreezeFrameBonus {{Foreshadowing}}. The game's opening quickly flashes a handful of shots from a sketch of the [[BigBad Mysterious Nightmare]], the last of which is labeled "White Rabbit." This is a hint that the Mysterious Nightmare [[spoiler:is the Alice that the team tried to rescue at the start of the game, with the playable Alice being a clone.]]
350** ''Mary Skelter Finale'' reveals that newcomer Charlotte [[spoiler:was created based on Alice's unnamed older sister from ''Alice in Wonderland'']], with the developer noting that she and fellow newcomer [[Literature/TheLittleMatchGirl Mary]] were named after [[spoiler: Alice Liddell's sisters]].
351* ''VideoGame/TheMatrixPathOfNeo'' has this during a level in the city library, in a ContinuityNod to the original movie. The librarian has seen AGlitchInTheMatrix, specifically, a certain book that keeps on reappearing after she takes it out. She has taken it out so often that there's a small pile at her feet. A few minutes later:
352-->'''Neo:''' What book was it?\
353'''Librarian:''' ''Alice in Wonderland''.\
354'''Neo:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Of course it was.]]
355* Alice Hazel, a young girl psychic in ''VideoGame/MetalGearAcid''.
356* ''Monster Girl Quest'':
357** [[spoiler:Black Alice, the eighth Monster Lord,]] looks like the typical portrayal of Alice, taking the form of a blond-haired girl in a blue dress and white apron, carrying around a teddy bear. She likes to refer to battles and destruction as "tea parties", and uses a drug named White Rabbit in order to increase her power. She's also stone-cold evil and sadistic, with the dissonance between her appearance and her actions is quite creepy.
358** The sequel, ''Paradox'', drives the allusion home harder with a character named "White Rabbit", who dresses like a combination of the rabbit from the story and the Mad Hatter (and has a few lines about running late). She even says her role in things is to "guide Alice" (referring in this case to the Monster Lord and one of the possible heroines, Alice XVI).
359* Reiji Arisu from ''VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom'', somewhat unusual since he's '''male'''. He and his partner Xiaomu are the only members of Shinra organization the player actually sees. Their job is to deal with the evil Ouma organization, which always involves inter-dimensional travel. Both of them later appear as major characters in ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWars OG Saga VideoGame/EndlessFrontier'', where most (if not all) characters have some fairy-tale namesake, but Reiji's is the only one [[LampshadeHanging lampshaded]] by the protagonist. ''VideoGame/ProjectXZone'' makes it quite obvious that it's an Alice Allusion (if it wasn't already), with Reiji's debut chapter being titled Arisu in Wonderland.
360* ''VideoGame/{{Propagation}}: ParadiseHotel'' sees you trapped in a HellHotel infested with zombies and having no idea how you got here, and that your sister (named Ashley... not exactly Alice, but ''close'' enough) is stuck somewhere in that very hotel waiting for you to rescue. There's even a DualBoss pair of monsters called Tweedledee and Tweedledum.
361* ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' has one of its many, many characters named Lidelle, whose name is based on the surname of Alice Liddell (both are spelled リデル in Japanese). Like Alice, she is portrayed as a curious girl, often asking other characters questions they consider silly or uncomfortable, though she never aims to upset.
362* Alice Carrol (not the one from ''ARIA'') of ''VideoGame/RageOfTheDragons'' looks almost exactly like the traditional depiction of Alice, except more... [[EmoTeen moody]]. She's an obvious reference to the character, though, despite her dark backstory and personality.
363* In the online multiplayer PC game ''VideoGame/RagnarokOnline'', there's a mission gravitating around the story of Kiel Hyre. He's a genius robot maker who fell in love with a woman named Allysia, then accidentally killed her. Then he went on to make a robot looking and called after her, which poses as her secretary, and four more robots (whom attack you as monsters), Alice, Aliza, Alicel and Aliot (though Aliot is a guy).
364* Issue #9 of ''VideoGame/TheSecretWorld'' is absolutely ''saturated'' with Alice In Wonderland references - appropriate, given that Tokyo after the Filth Bomb is meant to beyond the norm even by Secret World standards: the issue's lore begins with quotes from the Jefferson Airplane song; the mission to Kaidan begins with players being transported into the Tokyo subways, the rabbit hole of Ground Zero; the first character they meet is [[spoiler: the half-crazed Sarah]], who is also wearing a white-and-blue jacket for good measure; [[LadyOfWar Gozen]] of the [[{{Samurai}} Jingu Clan]] is a stand-in for the Duchess, and even has a violently aggressive cook on the payroll; lore entries actually call the enigmatic, perpetually-grinning Daimon Kiyota as "a Cheshire Cat in sharp lapels"; [[CloudCuckooLander Yuichi]] is instantly recognized by his distinctive "space hat," and spends his days in an objectiveless haze of paranoia and online gaming with his hyperactive sister Harumi - making them obvious stand-ins for the Mad Hatter and the March Hare. And of course, half the issue is spent following the trail of a mysterious assassin dressed in an oversized rabbit mask - often referred to as "The White Rabbit"!
365* Alice Elliot in the original ''VideoGame/ShadowHearts1'' is a young woman, who finds herself involved in surreal and grotesque dealings of the occult underworld. She looks the part with her blue-and-white dress (although her hair is [[MysticalWhiteHair white]] rather than blonde), and her [[CompanionSpecificSidequest personal sidequest]] involves dolls.
366* The fourth expansion of ''VideoGame/{{Shadowverse}}'' is named ''Wonderland Dreams''. Naturally, the [[https://shadowverse-portal.com/card/105041010 poster card]] for this expansion is designed after Alice.
367* ''Franchise/ShinMegamiTensei'':
368** Alice is a [[TheOjou spoiled]] little girl under the care of the Baron in Black and the Count in Red. She's actually a powerful DarkMagicalGirl who CameBackWrong and the two nobles are [[Literature/ArsGoetia Belial and Nebiros]], powerful demons who turn innocent people into undead to make sure they won't leave Alice. She returns frequently in many sequels and spin-offs, start since ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiII'' as an OptionalBoss.
369** ''Franchise/{{Persona}}'':
370*** In ''VideoGame/Persona3'', Alice is the second highest-leveled [[TarotMotifs Death]] persona, just below Thanatos. Furthermore, she's the ''only'' one who learns the most potent Darkness-type attack, ''Die For Me!'' According to the description, she's 'the ghost of an English girl who died in 18-something'... and she looks sort of like the traditional depiction of Alice. Add on top of that that the animation for the attack ''Die For Me!'' involves card soldiers falling out of the sky...
371*** In ''VideoGame/Persona4'', [[spoiler:Human!Teddie]] dresses up as a fairly convincing Alice in a beauty pageant. The Alice persona also returns, again holding the second highest rank among the Death personas.
372*** Alice also appears ''VideoGame/Persona5'', as the ultimate Persona of the Death Arcana.
373*** The first dungeon of ''VideoGame/PersonaQShadowOfTheLabyrinth'' is named "You in Wonderland". Most of it is spent chasing after a rabbit-shaped creature. Card Soldiers appear as [[RoamingEnemy FOEs]], and the player often must wash the paint off the roses to force the soldiers to paint them red again. The end boss is the Queen of Hearts, a FlunkyBoss who is only vulnerable after the cards protecting her are defeated.
374*** The first Monarch you face in ''VideoGame/Persona5Strikers'' is Alice Hiiragi. Her clothing has some motifs from Alice in Wonderland, such as the White Rabbit's pocket watch, and one part of her OneWingedAngel form's costume has a sign saying "Eat Me."
375** In ''VideoGame/RaidouKuzunohaVsKingAbaddon'', she is a boss looking for friends. Once you beat her, she can join you, and is one of the few demons that can max out magic.
376--->"Will you be my friend? You can only be my friend if you're dead...will you die for me?!"
377** In ''VideoGame/ShinMegamiTenseiStrangeJourney'', she's chasing a white rabbit. Said rabbit turns out to be the Hare of Inaba, who runs away from her because she tends to express her "love" through full-body skinning, boiling the Hare in saltwater, and devouring him ''[[EatenAlive alive]]''. Turns out both are undead memories of a girl beloved by demons, who by accepting a bit of their magic rendered herself insane until her death. Both were doomed to continue the same cycle of senseless horror over and over, until the Protagonist killed Alice and allowed both to move on.
378** In ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor2'', Alice is the ultimate OptionalBoss. On your second playthrough you can encounter a slew of optional bosses. Two of those are Belial and Nebiros, if you defeat them instead of dying they just run away. On Saturday you can fight Alice, Belial, and Nebiros all in one battle.
379* The online game trilogy ''[[http://www.somethingamiss.com/ Something Amiss]]'' is about a girl named Alice who finds herself at the center of a mystery and keeps on wandering into places where things don't match up.
380* ''Succubus in Wonderland'' is a H-game in which the characters of ''Alice in Wonderland'' are reimagined as [[HotAsHell sexy demons]]. Additionally, the Queen of Hearts now has two daughters named "Lewis" and "Carroll". The main character is similar to Alice in that he's a human who follows a White Rabbit and ends up in Wonderland, though Alice herself is also a character in the game.
381* ''Franchise/SuperMarioBros'' is set in a strange, unusual land with mushrooms that make you shrink and grow, strange turtles with bovine heads, underground tunnels that magically transport you great distances and a large amount of normally-inanimate objects that seem to be alive. Additionally, in ''VideoGame/SuperMario64'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy'', ''VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy2'', ''VideoGame/NewSuperMarioBrosU'', ''VideoGame/SuperMario3DWorld'' and ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'', you actually have to chase rabbits (which, starting with ''Galaxy'', are often white). Lastly, ''VideoGame/SuperMarioBros2'' begins with the player falling into a strange land and Princess Peach [[ParachutePetticoat can use her skirt to float through the air temporarily]], just like Alice descending down the rabbit hole; the game's setting also happens to be a dream world (Subcon).
382* ''VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsL''. TheHero's partner is RobotMaid AL-3 Alice who has ability to break the dimensional wall and draw energy from another dimension.
383* Cutesy sadist Alice from the ''VideoGame/TalesOfSymphoniaDawnOfTheNewWorld''. Her colour scheme is inverted (white and pink) but the style of her clothing is unmistakably gothic loli flavoured. Also, [[spoiler: she had at one point a DealWithTheDevil to control monsters, until the heroes defeated the demon... and she's since relegated to torturing them with {{Mind Control Device}}s instead.]] The contrast between her almost doll-like appearance and her sociopathy is extremely unnerving.
384* ''Franchise/TouhouProject'':
385** Alice Margatroid's Extra Stage in her PC-98 incarnation had most of the {{Mooks}} be card soldiers, and the BGM for the stage was even titled ''Alice in Wonderland''. Another character in the game she first appears in can be though of as a ''red queen''. The creative team's (kind of, it's only one person) name is Shanghai ''Alice''. Her later incarnation also uses dolls, as per the trope. Furthermore, she resides in Gensokyo, which can be translated into "Fantasy Land" a.k.a. "Wonderland".
386** The fan comic ''Webcomic/TouhouNekokayou'' gives the future Alice Margatroid and Marisa Kirisame a daughter ([[HomosexualReproduction they won't say how]]) named Carroll Kirisame.
387* ''VideoGame/TwistedWonderland'': The dorm Heartslabyul and the Queendom of Roses are locations explicitly referencing the Disney Alice adaptation.
388* Accidentally done, according to WordOfGod, in ''VideoGame/WeirdAndUnfortunateThingsAreHappening'', as while Alicia does do into an EldritchLocation, Alicia wasn't named to reference Alice. Instead: "I've always liked the names of the two knights that work with Agrias and end up joining you in Final Fantasy Tactics. Their names are Alicia and Lavian. So that's where [Alicia's] name comes from XD;;;"
389* Queen Alice of ''VideoGame/AWitchsTale'', the revered sorceress who sealed away the Eld Witch. The protagonist of the game is a young girl named Liddell [[spoiler:implied to be Alice's daughter.]] Liddell's doll Dayna takes her name from Alice's cat Dinah, and the game has other characters from Alice in Wonderland, including the Cheshire Cat, Jabberwock, Mad Hatter, March Hare, White Rabbit, and Dormouse.
390* One of the starting humans in ''VideoGame/{{OBAKEIDORO}}'' is Alisa, a blonde girl in a blue dress who is always carrying a white rabbit doll.
391[[/folder]]
392
393[[folder:Visual Novels]]
394* In ''VisualNovel/KatawaShoujo'', the chapter where Hisao attends a tea party with Lilly and Hanako is called "Mad Hatter".
395* The secret BlackMarket auction in ''VisualNovel/KissedByTheBaddestBidder'' has a whiff of an ''Alice in Wonderland'' motif. It's referred to on at least one occasion as The Mad Hatter's Tea Party, with "rabbit" as the password to gain entrance, and the auctioneer wears a Mad Hatter-esque costume. In addition, when he first encounters the protagonist at the I.V.C. party, Ota compares her to Alice having fallen down the rabbit hole.
396* In ''VisualNovel/WonderfulEverydayDownTheRabbitHole'' the titles of all the chapters are taken from chapters in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. A few passages and poems are also quoted word-for-word in the openings of some of the chapters, notably Jabberwocky and a section from 'Through the Looking Glass' read by one of the characters.
397[[/folder]]
398
399[[folder:Webcomics]]
400%%* Alice of ''Webcomic/AliceAndKev''.
401* ''Webcomic/AliceAndTheNightmare'' has this in spades. The main character is Alice, who lives in Wonderland, which lays just a strait from the Looking Glass Territories. The ruler is the Red Queen, there's also the White Queen, card motifs are everywhere and the soldiers are called Chessmen, not to mention that common name for the Nightmares is Jabberwocky.
402* Brook from ''Webcomic/ImTheGrimReaper'' is clearly modeled off of the White Rabbit. He has ribbons on his head that resemble bunny ears, he has nearly pure white skin and hair, and he has pink tattoos of clocks all over his body. [[spoiler: Upon walking all the way to hell from purgatory, Satan even says, "Look what fell down the rabbit hole..."]]
403* Kell's first visit to the Rabbit Warren in ''Webcomic/KevinAndKell'' had many Alice Allusions; the warren guards wear tabards similar to the card soldiers (although, riffing on the idea the warren is "the first network", they're ''memory'' cards), there's a White Rabbit who [[WannaBuyAWatch sells fake Rolexes]] (and turns out to be [[spoiler: her father in law]]), and when she thinks revealing she's a wolf might scare the guards off she learns there's been predators down here before and "all that's left is their smiles".
404* ''Webcomic/MSPaintAdventures'':
405** In ''Webcomic/ProblemSleuth'', heroes became taller and smaller many times. They also spend a lot of time in the imaginary world.
406** ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'':
407*** Possibly the [[ResetButton post-scratch]] Sburb session; the protagonist is an [[TrueBlueFemininity innocent girl in blue]] who is friends with a [[FollowTheWhiteRabbit mechanical rabbit]] and three kids who [[TheMadHatter aren't not all there]], has a [[CatsAreMagic mischievous, teleporting cat]] and her archenemy is a [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen tyrannical, ax crazy queen]].
408*** We also have direct references to ''Alice in Wonderland'', such as Jasprosesprite^2, Nepetasprite and Jake having Mad Tea Party.
409* Alice from ''Webcomic/{{Namesake}}'' who's the successor of the original Alice Liddell, who in this world [[BeethovenWasAnAlienSpy headed an occult organization]].
410* ''Webcomic/PoisonIvyGulch'': On 11/1/2021, Ace asks townspeople the riddle of why is a raven like a writing desk; like the Mad Hatter, he admits he doesn't know the answer.
411* ''Webcomic/SleeplessDomain'': When Tessa visits the {{magical girl}} graveyard at the beginning of [[https://www.sleeplessdomain.com/comic/chapter-6-page-01 Chapter 6]], various EasterEggs can be found on the graves in the background. One of these graves appears to belong to a magical girl named Alice Liddell.
412* ''Webcomic/TheStrongestSuit'', whose main characters are anthropomorphized playing cards, purposefully avoids this for the most part (for instance, the Queen of Hearts is a withdrawn, not-at-all-homicidal background character), but the appearance of the Cards ''does'' somewhat resemble that which the ''Alice'' Cards took in the [[WesternAnimation/AliceInWonderland 1951 adaptation]], as can the idea of Spades as lowly workers oppressed by the noble warrior Hearts.
413* The entirety of ''Webcomic/{{Wonderlab}}'', a spinoff comic of ''VideoGame/LobotomyCorporation'', includes plenty of references to ''Alice in Wonderland'', such as with Abnormalities like the Red Queen (who is based on the Queen of Hearts) and Hookah Caterpillar. [[spoiler:Catt's Distorted form]], showcased in the "A Party Everlasting" arc, is modelled after Alice and is accompanied by a small white rabbit. The title of the comic is also a play on the word "wonderland", and the term "wonderland" is said a few times. Also, the series is focused around a branch known as "O-5681", which is a reversal of "1865", the release date of the original Alice in Wonderland book.
414* In ''Webcomic/YokokasQuest'', Grace wanders [[DownTheRabbitHole down a museum basement]] [[note]](rabbit hole analogue)[[/note]] into the world of Cisum [[note]](Wonderland analogue)[[/note]], meets the CatGirl Yokoka [[note]](Cheshire Cat analogue)[[/note]], and forms a pact with [[WhiteBunny rabbit]] [[OurSpiritsAreDifferent spirits]] [[note]](White Rabbit analogue)[[/note]] born from a pack of cards [[note]](living playing cards analogue)[[/note]]. Grace also has other recurring [[PlayingCardMotifs card suit motifs]].
415* Mabel in ''Webcomic/ZebraGirl'': white rabbits, falling down holes, misremembering poetry, winning her own thimble in a race, calling a demon the Jabberwock... even her name alludes to a scene where Alice becomes unsure of her identity and wonders if she's a girl she knows instead. It is heavily implied that she ''is'' the canonical Alice, but the poor girl is completly and utterly lost in the Subfusc and doesn't remember her real name, making her particularly vulnerable to the ones who [[IKnowYourTrueName actually know it]], like Lord Incubus.
416[[/folder]]
417
418[[folder:Web Originals]]
419* Alice Creek in ''[[http://jackalyn.deviantart.com/art/Dark-Mirror-LLC-Chapter-1-162774609 Dark Mirror LLC]]''.
420* AntiVillain of ''Literature/TheDescendants'', Vorpal, has an ''Alice in Wonderland'' motif. On top of her name, her friend Mr. Voice calls her Alice because he either doesn't know her real name, or is avoiding saying it. Her StartOfDarkness comes at the hands of an Operation called Jabberwock.
421* Alice from ''[[http://www.livingwithinsanity.com/index/ Living with Insanity]]''.
422* Alice Jones, the shy, introverted (and later in the game, decidedly creepy) ''Roleplay/SurvivalOfTheFittest'' version 3 character.
423* ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonFireRed'', the first randomized ''WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemon'' run, quickly developed into one because the ROM it used meant that the world had gone all wrong (Red being gone, Misty using Poison-types, Charmander living in the ocean, etc.). The protagonist, called A in the game, quickly gained the name "Alice" in lore, she had a mysterious Skitty mentor who came and went when he felt like it (though the original Cheshire Cat probably wasn't a communist), and she was fascinated by the oddness of it all and drawn to study everything even when stopping her ArchnemesisDad and putting the world right-side up was probably more pressing.
424* In the Josie stories of the Literature/WhateleyUniverse, the Deuteragonist is [[SdrawkcabName Ecila]] Mason. The beginning is very clearly the start of ''Alice in Wonderland'' with Ecila as Alice. By the time Josie starts her story, Ecila has been away from Earth for so long that she has lost most connections with humanity.

428* ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'': In-universe, Remnant's famous fairy tale, "The Girl Who Fell Through The World" is about a girl that falls while trying to escape her mistakes and responsibilities, and ends up in a strange new world. It's clearly intended to allude to ''Literature/AlicesAdventuresInWonderland''; the girl's name is even Alyx, which is a variant of "Alice". [[spoiler:By the end of the eighth volume, Team RWBY, Jaune Arc and Neopolitan fall into the [[TheWonderland Ever After]], the very same world featured in the story. They eventually come to terms with the realm's strange nature so they can return to Remnant even as Neo continues her quest to destroy Ruby.]]

432* ''WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender'': "[[Recap/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheSwamp The Swamp]]." Mired helplessly in a massive swamp of illusions and secrets, separated from his friends, Aang sees a vision of Toph. She doesn't look like Alice (having black hair and a pale green dress), but the dialogue swings into an allusion with this:
433-->'''Aang:''' I heard laughing and I saw some girl in a fancy dress.\
434'''Sokka:''' Well, there must be a tea party here and we just didn't get our invitations!
435* Prisoner 775 from ''WesternAnimation/Ben10UltimateAlien'' is clearly a reference to the Cheshire Cat. It has the exact same pattern as seen in the Disney version, and is a chameleon that can blend perfectly with it's surroundings, except for its teeth. At one point, the teeth are all that you see of it.
436* Quite subtle in ''WesternAnimation/CodeLyoko'', but do you think Odd Della Robbia's Lyoko form is a "giant purple [[note]]Cheshire[[/note]] cat" just because? Adding fuel to the fire, he's got a cheeky personality and an [[CheshireCatGrin impish grin]].
437* Elisa Masa from ''WesternAnimation/{{Gargoyles}}''. Lampshaded in the pilot, when she, chased by mercenaries, runs into ''Alice in Wonderland''-themed cafe.
438* The titular ''WesternAnimation/InfinityTrain'' was considered one of these and in "The Past Car", a boy writes an essay about the symbolisim in the titular book.
439* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/TheMagicKey'', Biff and Kipper travel to what is presumably Wonderland and meet the Queen Of Hearts, although no other parts of Wonderland are seen aside from her and her court.
440* ''WesternAnimation/MiraculousLadybug'': The [[AnimalThemedSuperbeing Rabbit Miraculous]] is a pocket watch that grants the ability to travel through time, and its Kwami, Fluff, is white. Its user is given a blue and white colour scheme like Alice's dress, and said user is shown to be [[spoiler: the future version of Alix, whose name sounds similar to Alice]].
441* In one episode of ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'', Perry's secret passage to OWCA HQ involves going through a mirror, then falling down a rabbit hole where he passes the Mock Turtle and the Jabberwock. Major Monogram says it really freaks out intruders.
442* "Swee'Pea Thru The Looking Glass" was an Al Brodax-era ''ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}'' cartoon where Swee'Pea and Eugene the Jeep enter a looking glass and end up in a Carroll-esque landscape with the Sea Hag as the Queen of Hearts and Brutus as the Knave of Hearts.
443* In the ''WesternAnimation/SamuraiJack'' episode "Jack is Naked" there are more than a few Wonderland references.
444* ''WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons'':
445** In "Lisa's Wedding" Lisa follows a white rabbit, gets lost in the woods and meets a fortune teller.
446** In "Summer of 4 Ft. 2" Lisa feels tempted to go inside the library and imagines Literature/PippiLongstocking, the emblem of "The New Yorker" and Alice and the Mad Hatter trying to secude her to visit it. Only Alice, at gunpoint by the Hatter, tells her to get out while she still can.
447* ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'': In the episode "Imaginationland" the Mad Hatter is seen among the good characters.
448* Alice the male-to-female transsexual guard from ''WesternAnimation/SuperJail'' may not seem a reference, but consider that in the pilot episode the recurring thug Jacknife steals a white rabbit, ingests something like the "drink me" potions that alters his perceptions, plus there are two naughty twins and Superjail looks like a deranged, twisted Wonderland.
449* The [[WesternAnimation/ClassicDisneyShorts Disney short]] ''WesternAnimation/ThruTheMirror'' features WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse walking through a mirror to enter a fantasy land, and battling a deck of playing cards, only to wake up from his dream. To drive the reference home, a copy of ''Through the Looking-Glass'' is seen next to Mickey's bed.
450* ''WesternAnimation/YoungJustice2010'':
451** The series has some thanks to Artemis's backstory: her [[spoiler: sister]] took her codename from the Cheshire Cat and Artemis herself has long blond hair.
452** The tie-in comics drive it home: Artemis catches sight of Superboy in the middle of a fight, and directly calls him her "white rabbit" when she follows him. The two issues presenting the story of how she came to the League's notice are titled "Down the Rabbit Hole!" and "Wonderland." She also has a poster of Alice and the Cheshire Cat hanging on the wall in her bedroom.

456* A [[OnlyInFlorida Florida man]] stole a forklift and used it to basically completely destroy a Walmart that was being built. When the police caught him, he said his name was "Alice Wonderland" and claimed that a hookah-smoking caterpillar had told him to do it.
