The Five W's of Disney's Alice Through the Looking Glass

WHAT is this film about?

     After slipping through a mirror, Alice finds herself back in Underland with the White Queen, the Cheshire Cat, the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Her friends tell her that the Mad Hatter is depressed over the death of his family. Hoping to save his loved ones, Alice steals the Chronosphere from Time to travel into the past. While there, she encounters the younger Hatter and the evil Red Queen. - Google

WHO is cast in this film?

     The majority of the cast took part in the last film.   Johnny Depp (Hatter), Mia Wasikowska (Alice), Helena Bonham Carter (the Red Queen), Anne Hathaway (the White Queen), and Matt Lucas (the Tweedles) are all reprising their former roles.   However, a new main character has been added to the film.   Sacha Baron Cohen plays Time, and from the trailers, it appears that he may be a love interest for the Red Queen.   Alan Rickman, the voice of the caterpillar, passed away before the film could hit theaters.   However, we will still hear his beloved voice perform for us one final time in this film.

WHY should you see this film?

     BABY HATTER AND TWEEDLES.   Why wouldn't you want to see it?   We've waited several years for a sequel to Alice in Wonderland, and Disney and Burton fans alike are very excited to see where Alice and her friends are now.   I have high hopes for this sequel to be as good (or better!) as the original.

WHEN is it released?

Will you be watching Alice Through the Looking Glass?


  1. :O SO EXCITING. I remember enjoying the first one, so I really look forward to seeing the second one! :D Also, it seems like Cohen is becoming another one of Burton's favorite actors... huh.

    1. Cohen and Bonham Carter seem to have similar acting styles (if not methods). Cohen's acting is a little strange and creepy without being /too/ strange and creepy. I think that's the kind of actor Burton likes. I hope you enjoy the film! ☺

  2. I'm looking forward to seeing this one! Fun post!
