Beyond the basement door in Aunt Chi’s antique shop lies a world beyond your wildest imagination... Distributor Warner Bros. Pictures Japan has provided information and images from THE WONDERLAND (?????????????, B?sud? Wand?rando), a fantasy anime based on the juvenile novel A Strange Journey From the Basement (Chikashitsu Kara no Fushigi na Tabi). The film is directed by Keiichi Hara (SUMMER DAYS WITH COO, MISS HOKUSAI). STORY Akane Uesugi is a shy 6th grader who has trouble telling other people how she feels. The day before her birthday, her mother, Midori, sends her on an errand: to go get her birthday present from her free-spirited Aunt Chi’s antique shop. But a strange man named Hippocrates the Alchemist, who calls her the “Green Goddess”, and his apprentice Pipo the fairy take her on a journey to “The World Beyond” through a door in the basement. Arriving in the parallel world "Wonderland", Akane sees that the water has dried up and the trees are losing their color. Can she save it with the help of her free-spirited Aunt Chi, the stern Hippocrates, and Pipo?
