I was uninterested so I didn’t watch the film. I’m not some “Alice Purist” where I went running around condemning the film and tweeting #NotMyAlice. It was an older Alice returning to Wonderland, realizing her destiny, and defeating the nonsensical dragon beast Jabberwocky. In 2010, Disney took us back to Wonderland with Alice in Wonderland, but it wasn’t the typical story. I never dove into the late 1800s books written by Lewis Carroll, but from what I’ve read, the 1951 version of Alice combined elements of both Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There. It was a Disney classic that was fine as is and needed no remake. The world and the characters that inhabited it left me wide-eyed and wishing Wonderland was a real place. It was so whackadoo and bonkers, but more importantly it was creatively imaginative and wonderfully inventive. I have always liked the 1951 Disney adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. IMDB says “Alice returns to the whimsical world of Wonderland and travels back in time to save the Mad Hatter.” Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter. Review for Alice Through The Looking Glass (2016) Directed by James Bobin.
