The director has recently done ''Series/{{Neverland}}''.
----
!!!This series contains examples of:
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: The Queen, more or less. When stripped of her Casino, no one displays any loyalty towards her.
* ActionGirl: Alice is a martial arts instructor and kicks a fair amount of ass on her own.
* ActorAllusion: When first introduced to the robotic Mad March, the King of Hearts asks, "Does he have a user manual? I ''hate'' user manuals." Which is only funny coming from [[StarTrekTheNextGeneration Miles]] [[StarTrekDeepSpaceNine O'Brien.]]
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: The Duchess. So very much.
* AdaptationalBadass: Hatter, Dodo, The Knave of Hearts, the March Hare. Hell, even the gun-toting Duck and Owl are more badass than their literary counterparts.
* AdaptationDecay: Lampshaded and subverted, as it openly regards the original as history from which everything has descended to CrapsackWorld levels.
* AdultFear: Wonderland exists! And the people who live there [[spoiler: can make you forget your family and work for them, or simply drug you and drain you of your emotions to keep the local population under their control.]] [[SincerityMode Another reason why this isn't a kid's story.]]
* AliceAllusion: Nah, really?
* AlienLunch: Barbecued borogrove is delicious, apparently.
* AlmostKiss: [[spoiler: Alice and Hatter]] in the second act.
* AmbiguousGender: Dormie, who is played by a woman wearing a moustache. Normally, this wouldn't be ambiguous- but as we're in ''Wonderland''...
* AppliedPhlebotinum: The Looking Glass, and later [[spoiler: the ring that Jack gives Alice.]]
* AxCrazy: Mad March, a formerly-dead PsychoForHire with a [[NightmareFuel rabbit-shaped cookie jar]] for a head.
* BadassBeard: As seen in the page image, Charlie sports a particularly awesome one.
* BavarianFireDrill: Hatter uses this to get into the Casino to rescue Alice.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: During the course of the miniseries, Hatter is beaten, mussed, and generally looked like he went through a meat grinder. Alice... got wet a lot.
** It also must be noted that Hatter's {{Guyliner}} ''never'' smudged, no matter what he was put through.
* BigDamnHeroes: Hatter and Charlie arriving just in the nick of time to save Alice from Doctors Dee and Dum.

* BlackAndGreyMorality: The bad guys kidnap people from our world [[spoiler: including [[WouldHurtAChild children]]]] and drain them of their emotions, {{Mooks}} are sentenced to decapitation with frequency, and keep the populace in control with drugs. As for the good guys... see WellIntentionedExtremist, and the way Hatter the con man behaved, especially before becoming committed to the Resistance.

* BulletproofVest: Hatter has body armor that serves this function.

* ChessMotifs: The architecture White Knight's kingdom resembles giant chess pieces.
* ChivalrousPervert: Hatter flirts like crazy and is obviously attracted to Alice. When it comes time for sleeping arrangements, Charlie gets a hammock, Alice gets the bed... and Hatter sleeps propped up against the wall.
* {{Cliffhanger}}: Part 1 has a nearly literal one.
* CloudCuckooLander: Charlie, the last of the White Knights, lives in a forest castle with giant chess pieces and the skeletons of his fallen comrades.
* CombatPragmatist: [[spoiler: Dodo]] just shoots [[spoiler:Hatter]]. Luckily, [[spoiler: Hatter]] has a BulletproofVest.
* ConMan: Hatter comes off as this.
* ConMenHateGuns: Averted. Hatter seems to be very familiar with them.
* CorrelationCausationGag: When Charlie fires his crossbow toward the end, and ''thinks'' he [[spoiler: blows up the Hearts Casino]] because the timing happens to be spot-on.
* CowardlyLion: The White Knight, Charlie.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: Wonderland goes back and forth between CrapsackWorld played straight, and the beautiful Happy Hearts Casino, where "Oysters", or people from our world, are [[spoiler:drugged and play in the casino so that they can be drained of their emotions, which are sold on the market as drugs.]]

* DownTheRabbitHole: Duh.

%% Fanon was moved to the YMMV tab. please don't add it back here.
* FantasticDrug: Emotions, which can, in fact, be overdosed upon, leading to one of the few instances ever on film of Fantastic Rehab.
%% the FetishFuel examples were moved to their own tab. please don't add them back here.
* FootFocus: All the Oysters are kept barefoot in the casino.
%% FridgeHorror was moved to the YMMV tab. please don't add it back here.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Alice's mother's face during [[spoiler:the final kiss]]
* GovernmentDrugEnforcement: Not only is this how the Queen of Hearts stays in power, but a throwaway comment suggests that it's the root of the entire economy. Also Hatter's legal employer.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:The Carpenter also, when he remembers that Alice is his daughter.]]
%% HeyItsThatGuy was moved to the trivia tab. please don't add it back here.
* HeyYouHaymaker: This is practically Hatter's calling card.
* HighHeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: The Duchess rescues Jack when she realizes she truly loves him. Also helped by the fact the Queen had deemed her expendable.]]
* HighlyConspicuousUniform: The [[IncrediblyLamePun Suits]] are named for theirs.
* HurricaneOfPuns: This is a Wonderland fandom. "she brought down the whole house of cards", "first we have to ditch that royal flush", "I'll shuffle your deck". I'm missing some, I just know it.
* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Another Hatter trademark.
* KnowledgeBroker: Hatter is called "The Man Who Knows" in some circles.
* LaResistance: Hatter's other employer.
* LargeHam [[HamAndCheese And Cheese]]: TimCurry and Kathy Bates.
** Matt Frewer and Colm Meaney.
* LastMinuteHookup: Torpedoed by an earlier MomentKiller [[spoiler: from the WrongGuyFirst, Alice and Hatter get together in the final thirty seconds of the second act.]]
* LittleNo: Alice gets one of these before she decides to [[spoiler: stay and fight to keep the Queen from continuing to steal people.]]
* LotusEaterMachine: The Casino makes sure its Oysters are happy and pleased as the Queen only wants happy emotions.[[spoiler: And it is a bad thing to mix Good and Bad emotions indiscriminately.]]
* LoveMartyr: Winston, King of Hearts:
-->I would have conquered the world just for one smile.
* LoveTriangle: Alice is caught in two of them.
* MadScientist: The Carpenter and the Walrus.
* MalevolentArchitecture: The Truth Room.
* MarkOfShame: People from Earth who arrive in Wonderland are marked with a special tattoo to identify them as "Oysters".
* MeaningfulName: Played with:
-->'''Hatter:''' Do you know why they call me Hatter?\\
'''Alice:''' Because you wear a hat?\\
'''Hatter:''' ({{Beat}}) No.
%% Memetic Outfit was moved to the YMMV tab. Please don't add back here.
* MenAreTheExpendableGender: Yeah. The dead [[spoiler: Winston King of Hearts, Carpenter/Robert Hamilton, Walrus, and potentially Agent White]] are all men.
** Admittedly, there were not a great many female roles at the forefront of the show aside from Alice and the Queen. [[spoiler: Duchess]] could have theoretically qualified for expendable because [[spoiler: RedemptionEqualsDeath]] but it was averted in her case. Probably just as well. [[spoiler: Somebody had to rescue [[DistressedDude Jack]]]]
* MindScrew: The Truth Room. Also the size-changing box that Alice gets trapped in near the beginning, when it is somehow over the ocean.
* MythologyGag: Where to start?
** When giving the password to the Great Library, Hatter says that he's returning a book by Edwin and Morcar. They are both historical figures mentioned by the Dodo in his lecture about William the Conqueror in the novel.
** When the Tweedles give Alice a desk to write on, it has a pair of white gloves and a fan on it. In the novel, Alice found these things on the White Rabbit's desk.
** Hatter introduces himself and Charlie as Robinson and Duckworth. Robinson Duckworth was part of the boating expedition where Carroll first told the tale.
** Possibly doubling as a VisualPun, the last shot of the series is Alice, Hatter, and Carol seen ''through a looking glass''.
* NarniaTime: Wonderland seems to run on this.
* NiceHat: Guess.
%% NightmareFuel was moved to the YMMV tab. please don't add it back here.
* ObfuscatingStupidity: Winston plays this to the ''hilt'' around his bride. Not sure if anyone else was fooled or meant to be.
* OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler: The Queen of Hearts sentences her son Jack Heart to death after she discovers his ties to the Resistance.]]
* OffWithHisHead: The Queen's CatchPhrase, of course. Implicitly the fate of Agent White.
* OlderSidekick: Charlie.
* PermaStubble: Hatter.
* PowerOfLove: Winston's entire motivation; he claims he would have conquered the world so the queen would give him just one smile. And they never tell us how big Wonderland is, so maybe he ''did''.
** Also is what leads the Hatter through the Looking Glass, and a number of smaller instances.
** And [[spoiler: The Carpenter's HeelFaceTurn]], but that was more [[spoiler:paternal]] love.
* PowerOfTrust: Hatter talks about trust so frequently one might be forgiven the misconception that he's a rogue Handler who wandered over from the {{Dollhouse}}.
* PromotedToLoveInterest: Hatter. It works well here, but is ''so darn odd'' when one recalls the original characters of the source material.
** Although, if you're working primarily off the new movie, it might not seem so odd.
** Perhaps, but it aired about three months before the new movie came out.
* [[RebelliousPrincess Rebellious Prince]]: [[spoiler: Jack, quite literally, who also doubles as a RunawayFiance from an ArrangedMarriage.]] He fits better as a GenderFlip of RebelliousPrincess than as a RebelPrince.
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler: Alice's father, aka The Carpenter.]]
** Also, possibly [[spoiler: Winston, King of Hearts.]]
* {{Room101}}: [[NightmareFuelUnleaded The Truth Room.]]
* RingOfPower: Here, a literal power source.
* RuleOfCool: Everything from the book is stylized and made to look extremely cool. Why does the aerial transport look like [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome a blend of a Vespa and a flamingo]]? Rule of Cool. Why make your lackeys wear [[MemeticOutfit black robes with clubs on their heads]]? Rule of Cool.
* SealedWithAKiss: [[spoiler: Alice and Hatter end the series this way.]]
* ShoutOut:
** One of the last times we see the Duchess, she's wearing JaneFonda's outfit from ''{{Barbarella}}''.
** Alice's [[MeaningfulName mother]] is named ''[[LewisCarroll Carol.]]'' Which could also be considered to fit doubly so - Alice Liddell, who inspired the book, named her youngest son "Caryl".
** [[Literature/AliceInWonderland The White Knight]] is often considered to be [[LewisCarroll Charles Dodgeson's]] AuthorAvatar.
* SlobsVersusSnobs: A scaled down version in the LoveTriangle between Jack (snob - cultured, stylish), and Hatter (slob - chaotic, scruffy), with Alice in the middle.
* SoftWater: Once when Alice breaks out of Scarab and falls a truly frightening distance, and once when the [[RuleOfCool flying flamingo rocket scooters]] crash into the lake.
* SpiritualSuccessor: To ''Series/TinMan''
* StealthPun: Winston, the King of Hearts [[spoiler: is DrivenToSuicide. The nickname of the card 'the king of hearts' is 'the suicide king'.]]
** The Oysters are barefoot and that is what connects them to the LotusEaterMachine. Said Machine drains their souls through their soles.
* SuddenlyVoiced: [[spoiler: The Walrus is so when he reveals he was the Carpenter's warden and tells him not to try leaving when the Carpenter remembers he's Alice's father.]]
* SuperStrength: Though not stated outright (at least as far as [[TheGunheart I]] remember), Hatter can punch hard enough to leave a small crater in a wall.
** It may not be strength; there was an early throwaway line mentioning "that sledgehammer you call a hand".
*** To which Hatter replies "It's just flesh and blood." Not that we're sure he's telling the truth at that point...
** During his fight with [[WellIntentionedExtremist The Dodo]], Hatter misses punching Dodo in the face and punches a marble pillar. Given how easy it is to break small bones in one's hand punching a ''person'', it's fairly impressive that Hatter punched the pillar and the ''pillar'' broke.
* SurvivalMantra: Hatter recites LewisCarroll poetry to help him resist Mad March's torture.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: The 10 of Clubs. Just...ignore the hat.
%% TearJerker was moved to the YMMV tab. please don't add it back here.
* TortureAlwaysWorks: Subverted. Both Alice and Hatter are tortured during the course of the mini. Alice feeds them false information. Hatter screamed a lot.
** Interestingly, the Ten of Clubs reflexively calls Alice's false lead her 'confession', which might indicate that the Truth Room is not primarily used for getting factual information.
* TortureTechnician: Doctor Dee and Doctor Dum, who do a merry little dance while poking their victim with cattle prods.
* WeaksauceWeakness: Mad March is the Queen's favorite assassin. Too bad she had him decapitated, and his new head is now made of porcelain...
** Though, as noted above, with Hatter's SuperStrength it really wouldn't have made a difference if his head was made of solid marble.
** That, and the porcelain head was never meant to be permanent. The Queen ordered him sent out before the new head could be finished, so the doctors slapped on what was available.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[TimCurry The Dodo]].
* WingsDoNothing: The Jabberwock has a set of purely-decorative reptilian wings.
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: [[spoiler: Dodo]] actually ''does'', but [[spoiler:Hatter]] is prepared.
* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Alice is severely afraid of heights. Most of Wonderland is several stories above ground without any form of barrier.
* WritersCannotDoMath: Alice was ten when her father left, and it has been ten years since; naturally, this makes her twenty-three.
** This troper remembers Carol telling Jack that it had been just her and Alice for almost ten years.
** When does it say she's twenty-three? Granted, she doesn't seem at all nineteen, but I never remember anyone actually stating her age.
*** It's on the [[AllThereInTheManual DVD cover, the website, and the promotional material]].
*** Well, someone who bought the movie on itunes and has only watched the movie wouldn't see that. I just checked the [[http://www.syfy.com/alice/summary.php official summary]] on [=SyFy=]'s website and didn't see it there, either. It refers to her only as "young."
* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler: Dodo, about Hatter, after he shoots him.]] Thankfully, it doesn't take.
* YouMustBeCold: Early on, Hatter gives a soaked Alice one of his coats to ward off the chill. It also covers up her magical tattoo that marks her as an Oyster.
* YourCheatingHeart: [[spoiler: Jack [[{{IncrediblyLamePun}} Heart]] is engaged to Duchess the entire time he and Alice are dating.]]
* YourUniverseOrMine: [[spoiler: Alice's.]]

->''"Does this look like a kid's story to you?"''
-->-- '''Hatter'''
The team that brought you ''Series/TinMan'', a ''loose reimagining'' of ''Literature/{{The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz}}'', takes on ''Literature/{{Alice In Wonderland}}'', saturated with {{Darker And Edgier}} and {{Rule Of Cool}}. When martial arts instructor Alice Hamilton ([[PrivatePractice Caterina Scorsone]]) sees her boyfriend, Jack Chase, being taken away by some mysterious men in a white van, she chases one of them [[Literature/AliceInWonderland Through The Looking Glass]]... and into a CrapsackWorld. Guided by Hatter ([[{{Primeval}} Andrew-Lee Potts]]) and The White Knight ([[MaxHeadroom Matt Frewer]]), Alice goes looking for Jack, but discovers that things aren't all that wonderful in Wonderland.
This series was a mini-series broadcast in December, 2009. It is not to be confused with the {{CBS}} WorkCom [[{{Alice}} starring Linda Lavin.]]
The director has recently done ''Series/{{Neverland}}''.
----
!!!This series contains examples of:
* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: The Queen, more or less. When stripped of her Casino, no one displays any loyalty towards her.
* ActionGirl: Alice is a martial arts instructor and kicks a fair amount of ass on her own.
* ActorAllusion: When first introduced to the robotic Mad March, the King of Hearts asks, "Does he have a user manual? I ''hate'' user manuals." Which is only funny coming from [[StarTrekTheNextGeneration Miles]] [[StarTrekDeepSpaceNine O'Brien.]]
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: The Duchess. So very much.
* AdaptationalBadass: Hatter, Dodo, The Knave of Hearts, the March Hare. Hell, even the gun-toting Duck and Owl are more badass than their literary counterparts.
* AdaptationDecay: Lampshaded and subverted, as it openly regards the original as history from which everything has descended to CrapsackWorld levels.
* AdultFear: Wonderland exists! And the people who live there [[spoiler: can make you forget your family and work for them, or simply drug you and drain you of your emotions to keep the local population under their control.]] [[SincerityMode Another reason why this isn't a kid's story.]]
* AliceAllusion: Nah, really?
* AlienLunch: Barbecued borogrove is delicious, apparently.
* AlmostKiss: [[spoiler: Alice and Hatter]] in the second act.
* AmbiguousGender: Dormie, who is played by a woman wearing a moustache. Normally, this wouldn't be ambiguous- but as we're in ''Wonderland''...
* AppliedPhlebotinum: The Looking Glass, and later [[spoiler: the ring that Jack gives Alice.]]
* AxCrazy: Mad March, a formerly-dead PsychoForHire with a [[NightmareFuel rabbit-shaped cookie jar]] for a head.
* BadassBeard: As seen in the page image, Charlie sports a particularly awesome one.
* BavarianFireDrill: Hatter uses this to get into the Casino to rescue Alice.
* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: During the course of the miniseries, Hatter is beaten, mussed, and generally looked like he went through a meat grinder. Alice... got wet a lot.
** It also must be noted that Hatter's {{Guyliner}} ''never'' smudged, no matter what he was put through.
* BigDamnHeroes: Hatter and Charlie arriving just in the nick of time to save Alice from Doctors Dee and Dum.
%% BigLippedAlligatorMoment was moved to the YMMV tab. please don't add it back here.
* BigNo: Hatter, after [[spoiler:Alice goes to the Casino on her own.]]
* BillingDisplacement: TimCurry has exactly [[OneSceneWonder ONE]] scene, yet was the name most often mentioned in commercials. Kathy Bates was billed alongside him, despite being the [[BigBad antagonist]].
* BlackAndGreyMorality: The bad guys kidnap people from our world [[spoiler: including [[WouldHurtAChild children]]]] and drain them of their emotions, {{Mooks}} are sentenced to decapitation with frequency, and keep the populace in control with drugs. As for the good guys... see WellIntentionedExtremist, and the way Hatter the con man behaved, especially before becoming committed to the Resistance.
* {{Brainwashed}}: [[spoiler: Alice's father aka The Carpenter.]]
* BulletproofVest: Hatter has body armor that serves this function.
%% ChaoticNeutral was moved to the YMMV tab, as it is part of the CharacterAlignment index. please don't add it back here.
* ChessMotifs: The architecture White Knight's kingdom resembles giant chess pieces.
* ChivalrousPervert: Hatter flirts like crazy and is obviously attracted to Alice. When it comes time for sleeping arrangements, Charlie gets a hammock, Alice gets the bed... and Hatter sleeps propped up against the wall.
* {{Cliffhanger}}: Part 1 has a nearly literal one.
* CloudCuckooLander: Charlie, the last of the White Knights, lives in a forest castle with giant chess pieces and the skeletons of his fallen comrades.
* CombatPragmatist: [[spoiler: Dodo]] just shoots [[spoiler:Hatter]]. Luckily, [[spoiler: Hatter]] has a BulletproofVest.
* ConMan: Hatter comes off as this.
* ConMenHateGuns: Averted. Hatter seems to be very familiar with them.
* CorrelationCausationGag: When Charlie fires his crossbow toward the end, and ''thinks'' he [[spoiler: blows up the Hearts Casino]] because the timing happens to be spot-on.
* CowardlyLion: The White Knight, Charlie.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: Wonderland goes back and forth between CrapsackWorld played straight, and the beautiful Happy Hearts Casino, where "Oysters", or people from our world, are [[spoiler:drugged and play in the casino so that they can be drained of their emotions, which are sold on the market as drugs.]]

* DownTheRabbitHole: Duh.
* DrivenToSuicide: Poor [[spoiler: Winston, King of Hearts]].
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Hatter effing earned that hug he got in the last scene, with all that he went through for Alice.
** He even whispers: "Finally!" as it happens. [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming Awww.]]
* EmotionEater: The Queen of Hearts keeps the residents of Wonderland happy [[spoiler:and controlled]] by harvesting positive emotions from captive humans and selling them to the populace as "teas" through "Tea Shops", like the one Hatter owns/operates.
* MrFanservice: Hatter. See below.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: The Queen of Hearts assumes that Jack chose Alice because she was useful to him, not because he fell in love with her.
