This is where she encounters Time, comprising the best sequences in the film. It’s funny stuff and Bobin, who directed Baron Cohen in the Ali G series, knows just how to get the best of him. Mirana ( Anne Hathaway) sets her off on a mission to time travel back and save Hatter from himself.

It seems Alice ( Mia Wasikowska) has been off sailing the high seas for a few years, but when she gets back to London it is not long before the discovery of a magic crystal sets her back off to Underland, where she reunites with old friends like White Rabbit, Cheshire Cat, and of course the Mad Hatter, who just doesn’t seem to be himself. Yes, he plays a human version of time, purveyor of the so-called Grand Clock in which Alice must retrieve the Chronosphere on a mission to save her old friend, the Mad Hatter ( Johnny Depp, back and buried in more makeup than ever).

That honor goes to Sacha Baron Cohen as a new character, Time. And to top it off, Helena Bonham Carter’s scene stealing Red Queen is back, although she doesn’t run away with things this time as in the Burton picture. It’s clever, delightful throughout and generally perfect family fun that even manages to top the original for pure laughs, heart, and imagination. The film looks sparkling, and as I say in my video review above, this Alice is a complete wonder of a movie, especially for kids. Instead, Say He's A Dream Director If You're A Tough Actor Anne Hathaway: Don't Say 'Armageddon Time's James Gray Is Tough On His Actors.
