In short, we're already dealing with a separate Alice and a separate canon, so to speak. That movie focused on a grown-up Alice's return to Wonderland (or Underland, as the movie formally names it), having visited as a child in a manner that probably mimicked the original story. Burton's first romp with Alice In Wonderland was a very different story than the Lewis Carroll's novel, Alice's Adventure's In Wonderland. Which isn't a bad thing, necessarily, and really it's to be expected. So, you know, I just feel like this is going to take us down a whole new rabbit hole. A character named Hatta resembles him in the original Sir John Tenniel illustrations, and that's as close as it gets to a cameo. the Mad Hatter really isn't in Through The Looking Glass.
Not to mention, the story seems to revolve around saving The Mad Hatter, who basically plays a role as Alice's ride-or-die BFF in these films. That alone is going throw of the entire plot. The first is, "there's no way to be completely certain until the movie comes out," and the second is, "not very." Why do I say that? It's primarily a matter of Time: he's a brand new character and not really in the book, whereas in the movie he seems to be the primary antagonist. Well, there are two answers to that question. And, since it borrows it's name from the actual sequel to Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, you have to wonder - how close will Through The Looking Glass be to the original book? The Tim Burton-produced (but not directed) sequel has Alice making another visit in Wonderland/Underland, a returning savior going against new villain Time (played by Sasha Baron Cohen). On Thursday, the first major trailer for Through The Looking Glass hit the Internet in a beautiful, brightly-colored verse, getting us all psyched for second Alice adventure.
