That had actually been done a long time ago. American McGee did an amazing third person shooter based on Alice (the REAL Alice, not the lame Disney cleaned up version), it’s pretty grim. They sold the movie rights for it but it got trapped in development hell. But it did spawn a lot of “Alice might actually be crazy” adaptations of the story. If anything Burton’s toned it down. They aren’t actually happy stories. Disney took all the fangs out when they turned it (and so Grimm’s Fairy Tales) into G rated movies.

You want a grim version of "Alice"?

It’s a good movie. But like so many non-sweatness and light versions it had a hard time getting separated from the Disney version.

They are adding a family story to bring it into the 21st century??? What do they have in mind??? Homosexual parents, or at least the obligatory gay friend of someone in the mix???

A surreal Burton freak show, The Nightmare After Dumbo Scissorhands, from a sweet kid’s story. What could go wrong.
