@TokyoRed Fox may have the power to cancel programs that perform poorly on their network, but they don't have creative control. If a show is messed up, it's the fault of the producers, writing staff, and others that make the show.
As for your question, I found two messages in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. First, life won't always make sense. Alice encounters different challenges in the book that she tries to make sense of. The caucus race, the Queen's croquet game, and the Mad Hatter's Riddle. It turns out that none of these actually have an answer or a purpose, which frustrates Alice because in her society everything has an answer or purpose. The second message is that growing up is challenging. Early in the book, Alice grows and shrinks but never feels like she is the right size, which represents how one can feel about the changes that result from puberty.
Lol, TokyoRed, you read too deeply into everything. You always want to know about the cast and the actors and the future of the directors and staff, and what this or that could mean. You should just enjoy the movies you watch without making your head hurt over this stuff.

Cool, right on man.
The story, however, is about Algebra. Lewis Caroll was a pen name for a mathmetician, Professor Dodgeson (Google "the real Lewis Caroll", I believe it's the first link). Alice in Wonderland was, in short, the insanity of algebra. He used the characters and "we're all mad here" to explain his colleagues. He found it all absolutely mad.
I know that Alice in Wonderland is thought by many scholars to be political satire about the War of the Roses.
I also read that hinted love between Alice and the Mad Hatter was symbolic of the twisted love Lewis Carol had for a young girl named Alice who was a minor basically. The Cheshire Cat is basically a physical embodiment of Wonderland itself combining the illogical and utter nonsense of it all and yet making sense of it all.
But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice replied. "Oh, you can't help that," answered the Cat: "We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice. "You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."
The Cheshire Cat causes one to think in a philosophical way. The Cheshire Cat is an enigma, Of how nonsense has a way of making sense. The Cheshire Cat is the one main character in all of Wonderland makes sense out of the nonsense. Cheshire comes goes - he's is and he isn't - he's there and then he's not.

Interesting theory. I always thought Alice in Wonderland was about the effects caused by drugs.
The two messages in Alice in Wonderland involve funnel cake and tai-chi.

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.
