Jean, This is not your mother's or father's Through the Looking Glass story. They take the characters and you pass through the mirror into a beautiful, amazing, visually imaginative world with a straight forward story. All the usual characters are back, including Mia Wasiowska as Alice and Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway etc. It is also in 3D and uses the 3D to a terrify advantage. This is one of the best. But the visuals are so good. You have pirate ships racing through the stormy waters (Pirates of the Caribbean) and the clock repairmen reassembled int one huge repairman (Transformers) etc.The theme of the movie is Time and it's importance in all matters. They use that thought to great advantage in moving the story along. I am not a purist when it comes to Lewis Carroll stories, so I enjoyed this beautifully produced story about a strong, smart ,young girl handling one challenge after another. Dad
