Disney breathes new life to Lewis Carrol's classic in "Alice Through The Looking Glass", produced by the visionary Tim Burton and Directed by "The Muppets's" James Bobin.
Alice Kingsleigh (Mia Wasikowska) returns to Underland after some adventures of her own, to find her dear friend the 'Mad Hatter' (Johnny Depp) in need of her help as he succumbs to despair upon discovering the fate of his family. Yes, oddly enough the Mad Hatter hails from a family like you and me.
Alice is tasked to go back in time and save the hatter's family but in order to do so she must first "borrow" the 'chronosphere' from Time himself; played to the tee by Sacha Baron-Cohen.
What follows is a lot of time traveling, a lot of jokes about Time and a surprisingly a big revelation behind the past of the irritable Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter) and the kind White Queen (Anne Hathaway).
Book purists may have some issues with the liberties taken with the characters but it does have that theme of "madness" and an anything-goes kind of principle.
7.5 out of 10. The film is a breath of fresh air with jaw dropping CGI effects that seem to jump right out of your dreams. The ambitious story explores the well loved characters and shows them in a relatable vulnerability. Aside from a time traveling adventure, the film also showcases important lessons, which both kids and adults will do well to remember.
The film has a catchy song from P!nk herself. Check out "Just Like Fire" on Spotify.
