The story’s best and most heartwarming elements (let your conscience be your guide!) feel a little forced and, at times, cliché. In the end, however, it still falls a little flat. Disney appeared to be on top of this after hiring legend Robert Zemeckis to sit on the director’s chair and none other than Tom Hanks to play the toymaker, Gepetto. A lot of things could go wrong with Pinocchio. Guillermo del Toro’s outstanding take on Pinocchio came out only months apart from Disney’s remake, which only served to make Disney’s live-action adaptation come off even worse. Which probably contributes to why it just didn’t work out. Save for the cast of characters derived from Lewis Carroll’s beloved children’s story, the follow-up film’s plot virtually doesn’t share anything with the source material. The second film follows Alice as she travels through time in order to save the Mad Hatter’s family and loved ones. Set up as a sequel and follow up to box office hit Alice in Wonderland, Disney’s second attempt at another venture in the whimsical world of Wonderland-or “Underland”- doesn’t quite meet the mark. We almost completely forgot about it as well. If you can’t remember Alice Through the Looking Glass, we don’t really blame you.
