Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland book centers on a girl named Alice, who one day follows a talking white rabbit into a rabbit hole, and ends up in a strange Wonderland where she has surreal encounters with its mercurial rules and denizens. The book has become one of the most referenced works of literature in pop culture, with elements and motifs appearing in virtually every medium, including anime, manga, and video games.
The book previously inspired Nippon Animation and Apollo Film's 1983-1984 television anime adaptation.
