Almost as good is Gavin Millar's Dreamchild (1985), scripted by Dennis Potter, in which the elderly Alice Liddell (played by Coral Browne) recalls her life and the genesis of Alice during a 1932 visit to New York. A number of other films draw or comment on Alice with various degrees of obliquity – the Wachowskis's Matrix trilogy, Jacques Rivette's Céline and Julie Go Boating, Woody Allen's Alice and Neil Jordan's Ondine (reviewed below), in which a bright child meets a woman from another world with the comment, "curiouser and curiouser". Bill the Lizard may be a play on the name of British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli.

[27] The illustrations of the Lion and the Unicorn (also in Looking-Glass) look like Tenniel's Punch illustrations of William Ewart Gladstone and Disraeli, although Gardner says there is "no proof" that they were intended to represent these politicians.

The children follow along as I read—selecting a different illustrated edition from my classroom collection for each session—amazed, as I still am, by the choices artists make in terms of media, settings, and scenes, each turning that little Victorian girl and her fantastical world into something completely original.

Joseph Brabant's passion went beyond possession.

Brabant created his own hand-printed edition of a mere 177 copies. Brabant and Walker chose unusual scenes, which makes the book all the more distinctive.

Joseph Papp staged Alice in Concert at the Public Theater in New York City in 1980. Elizabeth Swados wrote the book, lyrics, and music. Based on both Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass, Papp and Swados had previously produced a version of it at the New York Shakespeare Festival. Meryl Streep played Alice, the White Queen, and Humpty Dumpty. [119] The cast also included Debbie Allen, Michael Jeter, and Mark Linn-Baker. Performed on a bare stage with the actors in modern dress, the play is a loose adaptation, with song styles ranging the globe. Anthony Browne explains in Anthony Browne: How I Re-Imagined Alice in Wonderland how he did not want to be influenced by Sir John Tenniel's imagery. For example, for the Mad Hatter Anthony Browne tried to get around the Tennielversion by getting rid of his top-hat and replacing it with lots of different hats and Anthony Browne further suggests the Mad Hatter's madness by splitting his face into one half happy and one side sad.
