Six years after the first movie Alice in Wonderland (2010), a sequel movie was released based on the story out of the second novel: "Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There" by L. Carroll 1871. Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016) has Tim Burton in a producer role instead of director.
The second movie is just intended for the audience that liked the first movie and I strongly recommend checking the origin before jumping on the sequel. The new cast member, Sacha Baron Cohen fits naturally in Alice's world and he is part of what works well and saves the audience loosing interest in the movie.
We are all wondering what went wrong with both Alice movies, the reasoning they were not as successful as they should have been. Having Time Burton's name, highest tier in supporting cast and display an overall beautiful scenery is not enough. My opinion, the major problem is that it is located in the leading role. Mia Wasikowska did not deliver the performance according to Alice role's demands. The problem got way more obvious in the sequel than it was in the first movie and we can all notice how may scenes were just "ruined" due to an overall poor performance.
