The new movie, which stays as far away as possible from Lewis Carroll’s 1871 book, keeps much of the original cast while replacing director Tim Burton (who’s still on board as producer) with James Bobin, who directed the two most recent Muppet movies.
The same could be said for 2010’s “Alice in Wonderland,” though, and that cleared more than a billion dollars in worldwide ticket sales thus, the sequel. As such, it’s acceptable entertainment for 21st-century children and audiences who want to be treated like children. The movie is gaudy, loud, complacent, and vulgar. With “Alice Through the Looking Glass,” it’s official: The 150-year-old “Alice in Wonderland” universe has become just another theme park ride in our culture’s CGI franchise machinery.
