Alice (Mia Wasikowska) is back, but this time she’s brought an even bigger cluster of stars with her including the inimitable Rhys Ifans who plays the Mad Hatter´s father Zanik Hightopp and Borat actor Sasha Baron Cohen who plays a quirky half-human, half-clock character. With the likes of Jonny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter and Matt Lucas reprising their original roles – this film is bound to be a hit.
The storyline follows Alice who has spent the last few years following in her father’s footsteps, sailing the seas. When she returns to London she finds a magical looking glass, which takes her to the fantasy land of Underland. She is reunited with her friends The White Rabbit, the Cheshire Cat and not forgetting The Mad Hatter, played by Depp.
She gets presented a task by The Hatter, which sends her on a mission to find the Grand Clock which powers all time. She bumps into old friends and enemies along
the way but embarks on the journey to save the Hatter before the time runs out.
As the sequel to Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland 2010, Tim however was only the producer on ‘Through The Looking Glass.’ Also this film is even more poignant as it was Alan Rickman’s last ever film before his death in 2016.
This is a family fun adventure film that we´re sure will have all viewers on the edge of their seats.
