The upcoming anime film, Fushigi no Kuni de Alice to -Dive in Wonderland-, based on Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, has unveiled a new main trailer that previews its theme song and reveals additional cast members. The film is set to premiere in Japanese theaters on August 29, 2025.
Theme Song Details
The main theme song for the film is titled “Zukan” (which translates to “Picture Book” or “Guidebook”) and is performed by the Japanese pop-rock band SEKAI NO OWARI.
