With dazzling blue eyes and sporting a man bun, Time is part man and part clock.
Between Depp, Helena Bonham Carter as the raging Queen of Hearts and Anne Hathaway - practically floating as the ethereal White Queen - the man who played Borat has stiff competition. (The actor is a pal of Bobin, who wrote and directed episodes of “Da Ali G Show.”)įor once, Cohen isn’t the loopiest overactor in the cast. To do that, she steals a machine from Time himself, played by Sacha Baron Cohen. (In case you have any doubt, she warns her first mate, “you know how I feel about that word.”) She’ll need to travel back in time to save the Hatter’s family from the fire-breathing menace. But no one believes him.Īlice doesn’t either, but she’s always game to disprove the impossible.
He’s convinced that his family, who he once thought were killed by the Jabberwocky, might be alive. The Mad Hatter - Johnny Depp, hamming it up to a nearly unwatchable degree - is so depressed that he can’t leave his house. Indeed, once she makes her way back to Wonderland, through a mirror, she agrees to a dangerous mission. Since every scene and snippet of dialogue hits you over the head with foreshadowing, we know that her talent for improvised disaster control will come in handy later. As it turns out, she’s a keen strategist, nearly capsizing her boat in order to evade the brigands. Ever the iconoclast, Alice first appears as a ship captain in 1874, on the run from pirates in the Straits of Malacca. The players remain the same, including Mia Wasikowska as the film’s heroine. Then, just like that, Absolem is gone - along with any pleasant feelings about this joyless jumble of a sequel.įor this second desecration of Lewis Carroll’s prose, producer Tim Burton has passed directing duties to James Bobin. How wonderful to hear the late actor’s marvelous baritone one more time. A blue butterfly named Absolem - voiced by Alan Rickman - beckons Alice back to Wonderland. The high point of “Alice Through the Looking Glass” comes early. Alice (Mia Wasikowska) returns to Wonderland and takes a trip through time in “Alice Through the Looking Glass.” (Peter Mountain/Disney Enterprises)
