NOTE TO NEWSROOM: The title of the film is actually "Fushigi no Kuni de Alice to -Dive in Wonderland-" (with a dash at the end as well).

Since unlike Nobuhiro Watsuki, Dodgson (aka Carroll) has been dead for more than 1¼ centuries, so we can watch this. For those who do not know, Dodgson liked to both draw and photograph naked prepubescent girls.

I wonder how this one will differ from the 1983 version (Wikipedia info here). I wonder who will pick up the US/North American right for the film? GKIDS? Netflix? Amazon?

While the term might not been around then, it is hard not to call Carroll a "pedo" because of what Piglet said.

This seems so interesting! (But what I really want to know is who the narrator is! His voice sounds familiar, but I can't really put a name on it just yet Anime hyper)

Didn't expect PA Works to take on Alice in Wonderland, but why not?

Although I guess it's not too surprising there's also a Japanese protagonist.

Komada didn't look particularly great despite the very non-intensive subject matter, but maybe tackling Alice and its surrealist imagery will bring out more in them.
