I have watched a lot of TV in my life time, and I've realized something, Alice in Wonderland is a go-to topic for writers. For instance i just finished watch the series "Sabrina, the Teenage Witch." Near the end of the season, Sabrina is so desperate to learn about a love interest that she wonders down a rabbit hole. There she finds her own heart carried in messages and riddles posed by her friends as the characters of Alice in Wonderland. This version of "Alice in Wonderland" resembles most closely the 1951 Disney version.
Another show that has used "Alice in Wonderland" is "Charmed." In Charmed young demons lure teens into a world where they torment them to no end. The mortals are the found on the street mumbling about smoking caterpillars and disembodied smiles. A young witch discovers their plot by noticing all the teens had "alice-like" names such as Alistair. In this version "Alice in Wonderland" has become a place to fear, a place where madness lurks.
Movies are another common user of "Alice in Wonderland" themes and stories. Last March Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland was released in theaters. Months earlier SyFy released a 2-part mini series called Alice.
It is apparent that "Alice in Wonderland" has become a Hollywood favorite and if anyone comes across anymore interesting versions of "Alice in Wonderland" in the cinema or on TV, let me know it may come in handy for my research project on the evolution of Alice in Wonderland
