As I was watching Alice in Wonderland (2010) movie earlier, I noticed some references of Alice in Wonderland in the game Final Fantasy IX. Well, it is funny if you know the game Final Fantasy IX by Squaresoft.
Okay, first of all, Alice in Wonderland is a novel that existed a long time ago. We also know (assuming you DO know the Final Fantasy series by Squaresoft) that Final Fantasy IX was released in 1999. IF you have played FF IX, and read about Alice in Wonderland, you will see that FF IX was inspired somehow by the novel. How? Here are some references that I discovered as I was watching AIW earlier.
1. THE TWINS
Both the novel Alice and the game FF IX has twins in it. In AIW, it's Twiddledee and Twiddledum (am I correct?). Those two are sometimes (or always) in a little argument especially in decision making. In FF IX, they have twin jesters named Zorn and Torn. They are also the same as Twiddledee and Twiddledum, their only difference is Zorn speaks straight English while Torn speaks like Yoda of Star Wars. Hmmm, Interesting, it must be. (Mimicking Yoda's voice). :)
2. THE MONSTERS
Jabberwockee! Nope. not the Jabbawockeez. The Jabberwockee can't dance. Anyway, in FF IX, there is a monster called Jabberwockee which can only be found in the Lost Continent. FF IX also has a dog...monster. The dog's name is Baundersnatch. So what about the Baundersnatch? Yes, AIW had the Baundersnatch too! Isn't it cool?
3. THE QUEEN
Oh yes! The queens! They are both E-V-I-L! Well, the Red Queen is more evil than Queen Brahne. The Red Queen has an enormous head while Queen Brahn had an enormous body size! LOL!
Well, I might have missed something because I really haven't read the novel Alice in Wonderland yet and also I finished the game FF IX like 10 years ago so I might have missed some other references too. That's it. :D
