Over a decade later, McGee returned to the franchise with a sequel, Madness Returns, and is currently working on short film tie-ins, subtitled Otherlands, through Kickstarter. It boasts an unapologetically gory aesthetic, fully realized with graphics well beyond those of competing games at the time. McGee's Wonderland, a fantastically grim renovation of Carroll's work, quickly became a cult classic near the end of the year 2000. Some reimaginings have been better than others (good cinematography is no excuse for a lukewarm script, Disney), but few have taken Alice down as darkly as American McGee. Given its popularity with audiences of all ages, Alice has naturally become one of the most adapted works of fiction in worldwide media today. Wonderland has been capturing curiosity since the story was first orally delivered to Alice, Edith, and Lorine Liddel on a rowboat in 1862. To this day, author Lewis Carroll's command of wordplay and symbolism is continuously debated, decrypted, and deconstructed by leading scholars, critics, and, perhaps most importantly, children.
Initially conceived as an entertaining story for the real-world Alice Liddel and her sisters, Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, serve as landmark examples of the literary nonsense genre.
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is more than an (150 year) old book.
