After four teasers,
The Walt Disney Studio has finally released the first full trailer for Alice
Through the Looking Glass. Produced by Tim Burton and directed by James Bobin (The
Muppets), the sequel sends Alice (Mia Wasikowska) back to the fantastical realm
of Underland and back in time to save the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp), who has
lost his Muchness.
Unlike most, I didn't
hate Burton's Alice in Wonderland. I thought the performances were fine, and
there were a few clever moments and there, as well as a good use of the 3D,
which I felt highlighted the overall esthetic of the movie. Was it memorable?
No, but I'm still interested in seeing the sequel.
Opening on May 27, 2016, Alice Through the Looking
Glass, also stars Anne Hathaway, Helena Bonham
Carter, Michael Sheen, Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Timothy Spall, and Matt
Lucas, whom are joined by newcomers Andrew Scott as Addison Bennett, Sacha
Baron Cohen as Time, Ed Speleers as James Harcourt, Toby Jones as Wilkins, and
Rhys Ifans as Depp's character father, Zanik Hightopp.
In Disney’s “Alice
Through the Looking Glass,” an all-new spectacular adventure featuring the
unforgettable characters from Lewis Carroll’s beloved stories, Alice returns to
the whimsical world of Underland and travels back in time to save the Mad
Hatter. Directed by James Bobin, who brings his own unique vision to the
spectacular world Tim Burton created on screen in 2010 with “Alice in
Wonderland,” the film is written by Linda Woolverton based on characters
created by Lewis Carroll and produced by Joe Roth, Suzanne Todd and Jennifer
Todd and Tim Burton with John G. Scotti serving as executive producer. “Alice
Through the Looking Glass” reunites the all-star cast from the worldwide
blockbuster phenomenon, including: Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska
and Helena Bonham Carter along with the voices of Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry,
Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall. We are also introduced to several new
characters: Zanik Hightopp (Rhys Ifans), the Mad Hatter’s father and Time
himself (Sacha Baron Cohen), a peculiar creature who is part human, part clock.
Alice Kingsleigh
(Wasikowska) has spent the past few years following in her father’s footsteps
and sailing the high seas. Upon her return to London, she comes across a
magical looking glass and returns to the fantastical realm of Underland and her
friends the White Rabbit (Sheen), Absolem (Rickman), the Cheshire Cat (Fry) and
the Mad Hatter (Depp), who is not himself. The Hatter has lost his Muchness, so
Mirana (Hathaway) sends Alice on a quest to borrow the Chronosphere, a metallic
globe inside the chamber of the Grand Clock which powers all time. Returning to
the past, she comes across friends – and enemies – at different points in their
lives, and embarks on a perilous race to save the Hatter before time runs out.
Presented in Digital 3D™, Real D 3D and IMAX® 3D, Disney’s “Alice Through the
Looking Glass” opens in U.S. theaters on May 27, 2016.
