Tim Burton as producer and James Bobin as director return for the sequel to their 2010 film Alice in Wonderland – which didn’t impress as many people as they would’ve hoped. Mia Wasikowska plays Alice who goes through the looking glass (literally) to rescue Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp). Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham also star in the movie.
The movie portrays a strong feministic character of Alice.
According to Anne Hathaway: “She’s following her dreams, she’s doing impossible things. She’s pretty fearless, and she’s what we would call a modern woman.”
