Bobin co-created The Flight of the Conchords, and worked closely with Sacha Baron Cohen (who stars in Through the Looking Glass) as a writer and director on Da Ali G Show. There's also his storied history in television comedy. Bobin's work history is considerably lighter fare than Burton's, with his feature directing credits limited to The Muppets and Muppets Most Wanted. But Burton is merely credited as a producer on the new film, and the directing duties were handled by James Bobin. Tim Burton famously directed the first installment, and injected it with his trademark quirky darkness.

But even with the same cast, the tone of the film seems markedly different, so what gives? The bulk of the cast is returning, including Mia Wasikowska as Alice, Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, Helena Bonham Carter as the Red Queen, Anne Hathaway as the White Queen, and the late, great Alan Rickman as the Caterpillar, in what marks his final film performance. So what is it?Īlthough it's been a while since 2010's Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass is indeed the long-awaited sequel to that film.

Up next is another potential blockbuster in a new Alice movie, but some fans confused, wondering if Alice Through the Looking Glass is a sequel or a some kind of reboot. Three of the top four earners at the 2016 worldwide box office so far have come from the studio ( Zootopia, The Jungle Book, and Captain America: Civil War), and those films combined with the 2016 portion of Star Wars: The Force Awakens' massive haul have made Disney the fastest studio to reach $1 billion at the box office by a mile.

Disney is absolutely killing it at the movies this year.
