To save the Hatter, Alice decides to jump back in time to prevent the Hatter's family from being burnt to a crisp by the dragon-like Jabberwocky. If you are willing to accept that Through the Looking Glass is a bastardization of the source material you may find this as serviceable entertainment.Īdventurer Alice Kingsleigh (Mia Wasikowska) returns to the magical world of wonderland and finds that the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp looking like Carrot Top) is sad and dying because of a rotten childhood plus the death of his family. But then again, this is the movie sequel to Tim Burton's 2010 Alice in Wonderland film,which is also a free adaptation. In fact, the on-screen credits for director James Bobin's movie say “Based on characters created by Lewis Carroll” and don't even credit the book at all.

Alice Through the Looking Glass is very, very, very loosely based on Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871), his sequel novel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865).
