I liked this Alice more than the first one; to me, it felt like it had an empowering message for young ladies and girls. I didn’t miss having so much of the Hatter in this film. It was all about the women for me, even though the story was about finding the Hatter’s family.
Alice Through the Looking Glass reunites the all-star cast from the blockbuster phenomenon, Alice in Wonderland, including: Johnny Depp, Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska, and Helena Bonham Carter, along with the voices of Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen, and Timothy Spall. We are also introduced to several new characters: Zanik Hightopp (Rhys Ifans), the Mad Hatter’s father and Time himself (Sacha Baron Cohen), a peculiar creature who is part human, part clock.

The film is directed by the very funny James Bobin, who we caught up with at a press event, along with Anne Hathaway, Mia Wasikowska and producer Suzanne Todd. The staging for the press conference was set up just like a tea party.
Along with sharing the press conference audio, I get to finally share our conversation with the super-talented Helena Bonham Carter (Red Queen) that was done over a month ago. She talked to us about juggling family, career and friendships. Please listen in; it’s a good one.
