An interlude video inviting the audience into the world of “Dive in Wonderland,” the first Japanese animated film based on Lewis Carroll’s masterpiece “Alice in Wonderland,” has been released.
Based on the beloved “Alice in Wonderland” that is loved all over the world, this work is a “new Alice” story told from the perspective of Rise, a clumsy girl who is troubled by her unsuccessful daily life. While respecting the worldview of the original work, it is depicted in an original setting in which Rise, who lives in the modern age, gets lost in Wonderland. The staff includes director Toshiya Shinohara of “From the Tomorrow of the Colorful World” and “Aquatope of White Sand,” and screenwriter Yuko Kakihara of “The Apothecary Diaries” and “Blue Box.” Animation will be produced by P.A.WORKS, known for “SHIROBAKO” and “Project SEKAI: The Movie: Broken World and Miku Who Can’t Sing.” The theme song will be a new song “Illustrated Book” by SEKAI NO OWARI.
The characters that appear in the film are brought to life by Hara Nanoka as Rise, a university student who one day gets lost in “Wonderland,” Mica Pyu as Alice, who travels with Rise and makes various encounters, and a star-studded cast of voice actors including Yamamoto Koji, Yashima Norito, Kosugi Ryuichi (Black Mayonnaise), Yamaguchi Kappei, Morikawa Toshiyuki, Yamamoto Takahiro, Matsuoka Mayu, Mamiya Shotaro and Toda Keiko.
