Crunchyroll has officially scheduled theatrical screenings for the acclaimed P.A.WORKS anime film Dive in Wonderland (also known as Fushigi no Kuni de Alice to -Dive in Wonderland-). Set for a special one-day-only release on November 16, 2026, the screenings are part of the platform's ongoing Crunchyroll Anime Nights program, offering international audiences a chance to experience the feature on the big screen following its original Japanese premiere in August 2025.
Helmed by director Toshiya Shinohara—recognized for his evocative work on NagiAsu: A Lull in the Sea and The Aquatope on White Sand—the production benefits from the narrative expertise of scriptwriter Yuko Kakihara. Animation duties are handled by P.A.WORKS, renowned for their distinct visual fidelity and emotional character journeys. The voice cast features standout performances by Nanoka Hara as protagonist Rise Azumino and Maika Pugh as Alice, alongside veteran talents such as Kappei Yamaguchi and Toshiyuki Morikawa.
