Tim-764-291856: The monk, Lewis Carroll's poem "Jabberwocky" does not say the word "Jabberwocky" anywhere in the poem. The young man is warned by his elder to: "
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"
Carroll was only making a silly, meaningless poem, most likely to amuse his young friend,( whom "Alice Through the Looking Glass" was based upon) thus, the title "Jabberwocky" which has no meaning.
Based solely on your review Tim, I chased this movie down and watched it. Now I wish I could unsee what I saw. I always loved Jabberwocky, it being one of my favorite poems of all time. It is now somewhat ruined by this very lame attempt to create a Jabberwock and slay it on film.
