Alice Through The Looking Glass: 25 WTF Moments From The Trailer
Never go full Tim Burton.
There's a lot Disney can thank Tim Burtons Alice In Wonderland for. The original banked the studio more than a billion dollars (seriously) and also launched the current business model of mining old animated films and turning them into live-action franchises. It worked for Cinderella, and it's going to work for Beauty & The Beast and The Jungle Book and the tens of other ones coming in the next few years. And all that from a film that was quite widely panned by critics as the final signs that Burton had lost it. Shows what they know. Burtons movie got a lot of love for its impressive visuals, filling the world of Wonderland with colour, even in its dreary scenes. And the first trailer for the sequel, Alice Through The Looking Glass, promises more of the same. Disney has clearly encouraged The Muppets director James Bobin to keep the Burton-esque feel alive and well and he's taken it as an invitation to dial the strangeness up even further...
