I think this trope should deal exclusively with stories featuring young women in fantastical alternate realities. There are more than enough examples with just those criteria: Oz, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Labyrinth, The Nutcracker, Spirited Away, Coraline, Pan\\\'s Labyrinth, Yume Nikki, Silent Hill 3, etc. This does not need to be a catchall trope for things inspired by Alice in Wonderland, even though Alice is the Trope Maker/Ur Example. The \\\"young girl coming of age in a fantasy world\\\" is a common enough plot to merit a trope all by itself, and I\\\'m sure there are numerous examples that I can\\\'t immediately name off the top of my head. While the Matrix definitely takes inspiration from Alice in Wonderland, I don\\\'t think it\\\'s worth including as an example because the \\\"real world\\\" is not a source of escapism for Neo, it\\\'s not a fantastical setting, and he is an adult man. And the toilet sequence from Trainspotting doesn\\\'t fit any of the trope criteria at all. I think there should just be a separate trope for stories which derive inspiration from Alice in Wonderland but don\\\'t necessarily conform to its plot structure. Perhaps that trope could be called \\\"Down the Rabbit Hole\\\", and this trope can be renamed to something more specific, like \\\"Babes in Toyland\\\" or something (they\\\'re a moderately well known girl band and the name fits the trope well). This trope could use some clarification and cleaning up in general. Permission to delete some examples that just don\\\'t fit? Also, anyone with ideas for how to rename this article, please speak up.
