Jabberwocky
Directed by Jan Švankmajer
Produced by Krátký film Praha
A dreamlike, visually inventive stop-motion adaptation of Carroll's nonsense poem that prioritizes surreal imagery and playful disorientation over narrative coherence.
In stop-motion animation, a wardrobe moves through the countryside. It arrives in a house, a child's voice recites Lewis Carroll's "Jabberwocky," and various objects, such as toys and dolls, move about, disintegrate, and play out archetypal scenes. Like Carroll's verse, the images are at once familiar and unfamiliar. A child's play suit, hanging in the wardrobe, becomes the adventure's protagonist.
