There's a reason why this didn't get a theatrical release in the United States and went straight to video. The sweetness and good intentions of the first film become cumbersome here as the creative team seems more intent on parodying recent hits rather than going back to the original theme which took classical fiction horror and real life shocking events, instead giving the viewer a confusing mess of a return to the waxworks scene.
For some reason the character of Sarah Brightman is now on trial for murder and a character from the original who obviously died appears in a videotaped will, turning everything over to Zach Galligan. He ends up going through the looking glass with Sarah where he ends up with a bunch of rather absurd situations that seem more like recent sci-fi movie situations than anything out of Lewis G. Carroll or any of the classic writers who influenced the first film.
This time we're sent to Camelot where evil concerning a King Arthur lookalike is trying to take the throne and that results in a convoluted visit by two yanks to the king's court. Visuals of other classic tales add to further confusion when all of the characters exit the mirror and cross into other lands and times. Most sequels aren't necessary, but this one can be referred to as a major mistake even though several famous character players show up to bring it some class. "Aliens" rip off references throughout, and that's just one of the many abused here.
