Alice through the Looking Glass (1998)

Alice through the Looking Glass was a low buget adaptation of Through the Looking Glass made in 1998. I thought it was beautiful and wouldn't have had any idea it was low budget other than that people kept saying it was made with a low budget. The scenes were bright and I thought the characters where done really well. I never actually finished reading Through the Looking Glass so I can't really say how acruate it was to the book but it seemed acurate to me. It kind of reminded me of the Wizard of Oz in some ways like how Alice was actually played by an adult (Kate Beckinsale) and how colorful everything was. The only thing I didn't really understand was why her hair style changed in almost every scene, I guess it just kept it interesting.
It was like a big game of chess and each square had different characters in them like Tweedledee and Tweedledum, Humpty Dumpty, The White Night and The Wasp in The Wig. Then if Alice made it to the final square she got to become a queen.

I really enjoyed this film. Its become my 2nd favorite Alice in Wonderland themed film (the first being the SyFy's Alice) and I would definitely recommend it. Its on youtube if you want to check it out.
