Is the new "Alice in Wonderland" movie based after "Through the Looking Glass?"?

Question

I just saw "Alice In Wonderland" (it was absolutley undeniably amazing btw) but I didnt read "Through the Looking Glass" but I read "Alice In Wonderland" and it's not the same as the movie, the animated movie is more like the book. Well since the new movie is the sequel to the animated movie, and "Through the Looking Glass" is the sequel to "Alice in Wonderland" is the movie on "through the looking glass?" And if you havnt seen the new movie you should see it it was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good!

Answer 1

I think the movie is supposed to be a sort of remake of the sequel. Through the Looking Glass is the one with the White Queen and Red Queen, whereas Alice In Wonderland has the Queen of Hearts, as seen in the Disney movie. However, I don't think the new movie is a sequel to the animated Disney movie, since the Disney movie is sort of a mixture of both books.

I have yet to see the Tim Burton movie, but from what I can pick up, it's sort of a third story about Alice as an adult, heavily based on Looking Glass.

Answer 2

It's Tim Burton's own personal take on the sequel of both books, the Looking Glass was when she was still a little girl (around 4 or 5) and it was practically the same thing as the first book, just a world that's backwards.

The new Alice in Wonderland is way after that, when Alice is about 18 or 19.

And yes I agree that movie was just downright AMAZING!

I was just dissapointed with the ending, I would have stayed with the Mad Hatter any day!

Answer 3

Lewis Carroll wrote two books about Alice: "Alice in Wonderland", which became very famous, and years later he wrote another book, "Through the Looking Glass". They are two seperate stories - in the first one, Alice falls through a rabbit hole into another world, ín the second, she steps through a mirror (a looking glass) into another world. "Through the Looking Glass" is a darker story, more for adults. Alice in Wonderland is now such a famous story, that other writers and film makers have made several different versions - almost all based on only the first book. The famous Disney film is only based on "Alice in Wonderland" and has nothing to do with "Through the Looking glass"

Answer 4

It is based on the book. But Tim Burton just puts his own spin on things. In the movie Alice is 19. So It is based on when she returns to Wonderland. Not when she visits it the first time.

Answer 5

I have not seen the movie but I realllllllllllllly want to!!

The animated movie had parts from "Through the Looking Glass" in it too. But the movie looks like it has both books in it. I would assume it's because they wanted to create a storyline and not just random occurrences, like the book, so they used the second book because it has more of a storyline. (Moving across the chessboard, etc.)
