I just finished the book this week, and found this. It's delightful -- a very faithful adaptation of the Carroll book (despite the missing fawn, lion & unicorn, sheep in the boat -- my favourite scene, though). Gorgeous colours and cinematography. (Red Knight is hot, too.). Thanks for uploading!
@Tparker96 No The first book was called Alice's adventures in Wonderland, This is Alice Through the Looking Glass, This is the looking glass world, and the reason she doesn't recognise people is because this is the first time sh'e met them, the animated film combined elements of both books, tweedle dum and dee and the flowers were originally in looking glass, not Wonderland. Hope that helps, even though you posted this 3 months ago :D
Lewis Carroll wrote two books about Alice. The first of those was 'Alices adventures in Wonderland', which takes place in, obviously, Wonderland. The second one, the book this movie is based on, takes place in Looking Glass Land.
Huh? They don't have the scene with the Lion and the Unicorn. That's odd - because it's mentioned in the film a couple times. Maybe it was a deleted scene?
Yes, that's one of the biggest pieces of criticism this movie usually receives. They mention that they're going to see the Lion and the Unicorn, and then Alice just... wanders off.
I don't mind it too much myself. It's my least favourite part.
Then again, it would have made better sense to keep it and don't put the Wasp in the Wig back in. All in all minor, this is by quite far my favourite Alice adaptation (then the 1933 version, quite below).
It's just perfect, the actors and atmosphere, the White Knight, all work beautifully. Proof you can make something amazing with a ridiculously low budget.
They probably thought it would be easier to do the Wasp segment, as it only requires one additional actor/costume and doesn't take place in a town, etc.
Kate is gorgeous in this :p. . . .

They shouldn't have cut the scene with the lion and the unicorn- especially as
it meant they just randomly had the plum cake dish there. I suppose they cut that out so they could fit the wasp scene in.

why is the red knight grabbing his crotch after falling from the horse when he fell on his bum?

I've never figured out why people think the Alice books are so dark, they're just plain fun, not dark at all really.

I hope that clears matters up.

They were only in Wonderland in the Disney movie. In the actual book, they are not there.
This movie is, obviously, based on the book.

alice in wonderland is book one, through the looking glass is book two (set 6 months after alice in wonderland i think)
however alice seems to not recognise Hatter or Heir.
