* ''WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall'' is about two brothers who get lost in a strange place simply called The Unknown. Sounds like some Wonderland business waiting to happen, and it does, with elements such as a town inhabited by living scarecrows [[spoiler: who are actually the skeletons of the forgotten dead]], to a school for animals, to two eccentric millionaires who don't realize their vast, sprawling mansions abut with one another and spend years thinking the other is a ghost.

* ''VideoGame/KatamariDamacy'': The sky broke, and it can be fixed by rolling a sticky ball around Earth to create replacement stars. Rolling around the world, seeing a child riding a panda bear motorcycle is not unusual.

* ''Film/{{Labyrinth}}'': The Goblin King's kingdom has a structure (both physically and politically). Reason and logic still work there (assuming you take nothing for granted, and take everything literally). Everything that appears in that world also has a 'real-world' referent. And there are rules and laws, although those rules are--to a certain extent--set by and subject to the moods and whims of the king.

* The Lands Beyond of ''ThePhantomTollbooth''.

* ''[[ComicBook/DisneyKingdoms Figment]]'' takes a journey into a world of imagination through a mentally projected portal. The Imaginary realm is divided into various provinces of creative expression such as the Color Wheel, [[WesternAnimation/DonaldDuckInMathmagicland Mathmagicland]], the Audio Archipelago and the Nightmare Nation, though only the latter two are properly visited. As Blair was the one that created the portal with his mind, he has some influence over reality there and in time gains a full mastery of that gift and his "mental energy devices" to properly become the Dreamfinder.

* ''Literature/TheWonderfulWizardOfOz'': So your house falls down onto a witch, and you meet a talking scarecrow, robot, and lion... the entire Literature/LandOfOz is a strange wonderland.

* To early people, any far away land or sea would be like this. Especially when they've only heard about them by others who managed to explore such places. An example would Australia for European explorers. To them, it was a strange place where there are giant rat-like animals that hop on two legs and have pouches, beaver-like animals with duck bills and where the swans are black instead of white.

* In ''{{Superman}}'', Htrae is a Bizarro Earth, a cubic planet where things are the opposite of Earth. It's also very inconsistent due to the fact that various authors chose to focus on different aspects and also had different ideas of "opposite" (which kind of works in a meta-sense since Earth is pretty ''consistent'')

* ''Webcomic/ThePropertyOfHate'' is set in a world where lies, doubts, fears and ideas are tangible entities. The sun fell out of the sky and turned into trees and a ocean rests on top of a forest.

* Venus in the RobertRankin book "The Mechanical Messiah and Other Marvels of the Modern Age".

* The 1950s strip from the AnthologyComic ''TheBeano'' Pansy Potter in Wonderland.

* ''KatamariDamacy'': The sky broke, and it can be fixed by rolling a sticky ball around Earth to create replacement stars. Rolling around the world, seeing a child riding a panda bear motorcycle is not unusual.
* ''LittleBigPlanet'': Especially owing to the user-created content and the customizable nature of the game.
* The Fairy Land of Neirutvena in ''VideoGame/ChainsOfSatinav'' is one of these. Among other oddities, the season is determined by the orientation of a painting in the royal art gallery, the direction of the wind is determined by the large-nosed crab creature that acts as a weather vane, and the time is determined by a large peacock who lights up his plumage based on the season and the direction of the wind.

* ''{{Kamichu}}'': A little girl waking up one day and realizing she's a god is odd enough. The land of the gods, however, where other gods like Laserdisc God reside, is very Wonderland-like.

* ''TheNightmareBeforeChristmas'': Although only Halloween Town and Christmas Town are shown, presumably each of the holiday towns is a themed wonderland following their own logic.

* ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'': TropeNamer, though it's debatable whether it's better described as a WorldOfChaos.
** Best summarized in the 1999 Hallmark adaptation, wherein the Caterpillar tells Alice that "everything has a purpose, even here."

* ''Literature/CharlieAndTheChocolateFactory'': The inside of the factory is essentially a candy-themed wonderland.
