It’s all told, as expected from Disney, in very visual colors and 3D. She sees ways where she can help the Mad Hatter, but also comes across the events in her own life, which include a lie that she told as a young girl that tragically affected her sister the Red Queen. Alice ends up taking a device called the Chronosphere, which allows her to travel back in time. She needs to turn to Time to correct things in the past that will make the Mad Hatter’s life better. It’s here where she sees all of her Wonderland friends, but something is not right with the Mad Hatter. When she attends a meeting with him and her mother (Lindsay Duncan), she goes to an upstairs room and steps through a mirror, and through this mirror Alice takes a journey (literally through the looking glass) to Wonderland. When she returns to London, she is asked (and demanded) to sign away her ship to her ex-boyfriend James (Ed Speelers). We’re also treated to a delicious turn by both Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen (and Alice’s sister) and Sacha Baron Cohen (as Time).Īlice has spent several years sailing the high seas (and following in her father’s footsteps). Along the way she reconnects with her friends including the White Rabbit (Michael Sheen), Absolem (the late Alan Rickman) the Cheshire Cat (Stephen Fry), twins Tweedledee and Tweedledum (Matt Lucas), the White Queen (Ane Hathaway) and of course the Mad Hatter. Alice (Mia Wasikowska) travels back in time to try to save the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp). ‘Alice Through the Looking Glass’ sees the return of the same actors playing the same characters from the 2010 film.

With the release of ‘Alice Through the Looking Glass,’ is poised to take in more than the 2010 ‘Alice in Wonderland’ film which peaked at just over $1 billion. ‘Zootopia,’ ‘The Jungle Book’ and ‘Captain America:Civil War’ have made, as of May 16th, close to $1 billion each (!!), and they are still raking in money at the box office, with ‘Captain America’ only a few weeks into it’s release.
