Mit Alice im Wunderland: Hinter den Spiegeln muss die Fortsetzung von Disneys Kassenschlager ohne Regisseur Tim Burton auskommen, was sich nach dem Desaster von Teil 1 als unerwarteter Segen herausstellt.

Disney bringt mit Cinderella den selbsternannten klassischen und zuckersüßen Märchenfilm zurück auf die Leinwand während es anscheinend verzweifelt versucht jede Form von Neuinterpretation oder Statements über die Selbstbestimmtheit der Frau so weit wie möglich von sich wegzudrücken.
Les Misérables follows the life of Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman) who is released from a 19-year sentence and has to try to find a new life after losing two decades in hard slave-work. But Valjean can never rest easy for Javert (Russell Crowe) is always on his heels reminding him that once a criminal always a criminal. In the eyes of Javert a man like Valjean deserves no second chance and will always be a thief. The conflict of redemption hope and how tiny good deeds can redeem a man and change people is played against the background of the June Rebellion (1832) a student-led revolution against the monarchy.
