While returning with their own brand of special effects and colorful cast of actors and actresses, NBC was not able to match up with their previous movie, Merlin. While incorporating Alice and Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, NBC slightly ruins the original storyline by meshing Wonderland and the Looking Glass by bringing some scenes from the Looking Glass before Wonderland and vice versa, rather than staying with the original story of Wonderland followed by Through the Looking Glass. Additionally, while NBC did one of the best jobs incorporating many (almost all) scenes portrayed in the book, they did leave out some significant ones. All in all, I thought NBC's special effects and use of so many wonderful actors and actresses saved this movie.
