Sarah in the Mysterious Wonderland

Sarah in the Mysterious Wonderland is a 2002 American animated musical fantasy comedy television film based on the Sarah series by Moses Mbungu and Lewis Carroll's Alice series of books. The film was conceived by director Dylan Huff initially as a parody of The Wizard of Oz with the cast of Sarah playing the roles, but the project was scrapped and was retooled as an Alice's Adventures in Wonderland parody featuring various Bear Bones characters.

The film premiered on September 27, 2002 and was simulcasted on Nickelodeon and the Bear Bones Channel. The special initially received mixed reviews upon release, with critics praising the plot but were indifferent about the usage of Sarah and the various Bear Bones characters as a whole. In recent years, the special has gained a cult following, with attention brought to its usage of various Bear Bones characters as a whole and the general humor. The film was part of Bear Bones' plan to re-invent the characters from the various supporting series as part of Malachi and Friends, which led to Sarah and her Amazing Pals in 2004.
