Film Synopsis

On her return to Underland after a period of three years, Alice Kingsleigh is saddened to learn that the Mad Hatter is in a desperate state after the disappearance of his family.  Naturally, Alice is ready to do all she can to help her old friend, so she adopts the suggestion of the White Queen to persuade Time to intervene and save the Hatter's family in the past.  Time insists that what has happened cannot be changed, but Alice thinks otherwise.  By stealing the Chronosphere, a device that powers time, she believes she will be able to project herself into the past and rewrite history.  Alice knows that if she does so there is a danger that history may come unravelled, but it is a risk she is willing to take to save the Mad Hatter...
