Map of Underland
- In Tim Burton's 2010 film, Wonderland is called Underland; Alice returns to it as a 19-year-old young lady and realizes that she had originally misheard the name "Underland" as "Wonderland" when she was there many years ago. Now under the rule of the maniacal Red Queen, Underland is a bleak, desolate place. Alice must unite with her old acquaintances to save it.
