Alice in Wonderland Getting New Spin-off TV Show
About Fan-Favorite Character
------------------------------------------------
Lewis Carroll's fantasy world is returning to the screen with
a beloved character taking the lead role. According to a
Deadline report, Amazon MGM Studios is currently developing an
animated movie centered on the Mad Hatter, inspired by the
classic Alice in Wonderland tales. While specific plot details
remain under wraps, the project officially puts the iconic
figure at the heart of his own standalone story.

The animated feature is being developed by Scott Mosier, the
director of The Grinch (2018) and producer of several movies
by Kevin Smith, including Clerks. The film is produced by Adam
Nagle through Aniventure, an animation studio responsible for
many projects for Amazon, Netflix, Paramount, and Sony.


What other Alice in Wonderland movies and TV shows have been made?
Over the years, there have been many versions of Alice in
Wonderland. The most popular one is perhaps the animated Alice in
Wonderland by Disney in 1951, which introduced audiences to
Wonderland.

Tim Burton reimagined the story in 2010 with a live-action
blockbuster featuring Mia Wasikowska as Alice and Johnny Depp as
the Mad Hatter. The film became a massive success and was followed
by another installment called Alice Through the Looking Glass in
2016.

On television, Carroll's story has seen several notable retellings,
including the star-studded 1985 miniseries, Hallmark's 1999
television movie featuring Tina Majorino, and Syfy's reimagined
2009 miniseries Alice. ABC further expanded the fantasy lore with
its spin-off series Once Upon a Time in Wonderland during the
2013-2014 network season.

Similarly, Mosier has worked on multiple animated films. He wrote
and produced Free Birds before co-directing The Grinch, which
grossed $500 million across the world. He has also voiced multiple
characters in Sing 2 and The Secret Life of Pets 2. Amazon MGM
Studios has not yet announced an official release date or story
details for the film.
