“Alice Through the Looking Glass” is now in theaters everywhere! Alice Through the Looking Glass is the sequel to the 2010 blockbuster film, Alice in Wonderland. The film reunites Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska, Matt Lucas and Helena Bonham Carter. As well as, introduces several new characters to the franchise, including Zanik Hightopp (Rhys Ifans), the Mad Hatter’s father and Time himself (Sacha Baron Cohen), a peculiar creature who is part human, part clock. And joining them the voices of Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall. I had the opportunity to attend an Alice Through the Looking Glass VIP girls night out and experience the movie with a couple of Miami ladies. After seeing the movie, all I can say is about it is that if your family loved the prequel to this movie, you will love this one ten times more.

~About Alice Through the Looking Glass~

Alice Kingsleigh (Mia Wasikowska) has spent the past three years living her dream and sailing the high seas as captain of her own ship. Upon her return to London, she finds that, while much has changed in her absence, the antiquated views as to women’s role in society still remain and the future she envisioned for herself may no longer be possible. While attending a reception at the home of Lord Ascot, Alice causes a scene and flees to the parlor, where she spots Absolem (Alan Rickman), who is now a blue Monarch butterfly, and follows him to a magical looking glass, through which she is able to return to the fantastical realm of Underland. There, she is reunited with her friends the Cheshire Cat (Stephen Fry), the dormouse (Barbara Windsor), the March Hare (Paul Whitehouse), Tweedledee and Tweedledum (Matt Lucas) and the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp), who, unfortunately, is not himself. Or as the White Rabbit (Michael Sheen) says, “The Hatter’s the matter.”

“Save the Hatter” 

After Alice finds the Hatter, she finds out that he is convinced his family is still alive. Mirana (Anne Hathaway), the White Queen, needs Alice’s help. In order to save him, Alice must seek out Time himself (Sacha Baron Cohen). Time lives in a void of infinitude and possesses the Chronosphere, a metallic globe which Alice must borrow in order to go back in time and save the Hatter’s family. Meanwhile, Iracebeth (Helena Bonham Carter) remains in exile, having been banished by her sister to the Outlands, where she has befriended Time and is plotting to steal the Chronosphere for herself. Alice returns to the past, crossing paths with friends and enemies at different points in their lives, and sets off on a perilous race across the Oceans of Time to escape the Red Queen and Time and save the Hatter.

~Alice Through the Looking Glass Movie Review~

Alice Through the Looking Glass is not only a visually beautiful film, but the message of the movie will resonate with both young and old. Life is about treasuring our family, no matter your differences, choices, and circumstances. Ultimately, time is something we all need to appreciate and not take for granted, live life to its fullest, because you only get one. Always believe in yourself even when others don’t, when you know something is true, go for it. And finally, don’t be afraid to be different, everyone wants to follow the status quo and forget to follow their own drum beat. Make the world, what you want it to be!
