"I'm more excited than a shark in a tornado," said American McGee, CEO of Spicy Horse. "We're already in meetings and I'm on the road next week to wrangle up more interest. Working with Alice and the Insane Children that love her is one of my favorite things in the world."
Successful funding of the Alice: Otherlands Kickstarter enables Spicy Horse to acquire the film rights to the American McGee's Alice IP and start production on a series of digital short films. Notables like Tsui Hark (Once Upon A Time in China) and Chris Vrenna of Nine Inch Nails/Marylin Manson have already announced their participation, with further outreach ongoing after the campaign's success.

Since the goal of $200K was beaten, the additional funds may permit the creation of a series of animated short films, with the possibility of larger animated series down the line as well as development on a potential feature film.
Pre-production on the shorts will kick off straight away with a planned launch coming in December 2014. If you would still like to donate towards the projects, you can do so over at BackerKit.
