bechdel_testThe new one: passes very well!
Alice is very much the central character (Mad Hatter ads to the contrary), and most of her conversations in the movie are with the Red Queen (antagonist) and the White Queen (helper)*. Conversations with her mother and sister did focus a lot on marriage, although Alice tried to talk about her own, non-man-centered wishes for her future. The White Queen and the Red Queen also had a conversation that had nothing to do with men.
(I actually felt kind of lukewarm about the movie overall, but did love that Alice was the center of it and an active protagonist who never lost sight of her own desires even when other people tried to project theirs onto her.)
*They did have names, but were mostly referred to by their titles.
