Through the Looking Glass: The Sequel Connection

The 2010 blockbuster was followed by the 2016 sequel, Alice Through the Looking Glass. While it brought back the principal cast—including Depp, Wasikowska, and Bonham Carter—the film struggled to match the $1 billion success of the original.

Key Changes: James Bobin took over the director's chair from Tim Burton, shifting the tone toward a time-travel narrative. This sequel expanded the backstory of the Mad Hatter’s family and introduced Sacha Baron Cohen as **Time** itself. For fans tracking the Alice movie timeline, the 2010 film remains the essential "Phase One" of Disney's live-action reimagining era.

🍄 Wonderland Facts

• The Futterwacken Dance: Johnny Depp’s "Futterwacken" dance was actually performed by a professional breakdancer, with Depp’s face digitally added in post-production.
• Alice's Eyes: Tim Burton enlarged the Mad Hatter’s eyes by 10 to 15 percent digitally to give him a more "constant wide-eyed" look.
• Big Head, No CGI: Helena Bonham Carter’s head was enlarged digitally, but she spent three hours in makeup every day to create the heart-shaped hair and high collar that helped sell the illusion.
• The Voice of Underland: This was the final film for **Christopher Lee** (The Jabberwocky) and **Alan Rickman** (The Caterpillar) to work on together before their passing, making it a nostalgic favorite for fans of British cinema icons.
