alice through the looking glass film synopsis

The vast majority of Alice films, usually produced for television, make the fatal mistake of treating Alice as, first and foremost, a children's tale. Sadly neither are available in Region 4 and the best we have on offer is Disney's Alice in Wonderland, a film that, although unfaithful to Carroll's plot (and wit), embraces the nonsense of Wonderland nicely.

Jonathan Miller's 1966 production for the BBC is brilliantly mad and Jan Svankmajer's nightmarish stop motion adaptation Alice (Neco z Alenky) dwells on the novels' dark undertones. Sadly, though, very few live up to the nonsensical genius of Carroll's books and the few that do manage to scale the same heights as their source can be counted on one hand with fingers to spare. Since then, both Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass have inspired countless film productions worldwide. In 1903, Cecil M Hepworth produced the first film version of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
