35+ Best 'Alice Through The Looking Glass' Quotes From The Movie
Gallery
Both the book 'Alice In Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll, and its film adaptation were definitely fan favorites among their worldwide audience.
Therefore when a film adaptation of 'Alice Through The Looking Glass' by Lewis Carroll was announced more than half a decade later, expectations were high indeed. These expectations were certainly met with the Tim Burton film that was released in 2007.
After all, with a star-studded cast and a yearning to revisit the magical world of Wonderland created by Lewis Carroll, audiences were bound to enjoy this film. Like the first 'Alice In Wonderland' film, based on the book by Lewis Carroll, 'Alice Through The Looking Glass' is a glorious combination of live-action and animation fantasy filmmaking.
The story revolves around Alice stumbling upon a magical glass that takes her back to Wonderland, only to find that the Mad Hatter is in trouble and in need of her help.
To Alice's dismay, the Mad Hatter has begun to act even madder than when she last visited Wonderland, and he has lost quite a bit of his "muchness".
He is searching for the truth about his family and Alice offers to help him.
As Alice looks through the looking glass, she sees a book of poetry titled 'Jabberwocky', it is a book that she can only read by holding it up to a mirror.
The phrase "through the looking glass" often means that things are "the opposite of what is expected", but the traditional meaning of a looking glass is quite simply an old-fashioned mirror.
One can therefore assume that the looking glass in this film represented an alternate reality itself.
