Jabberwocky
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.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a surreal narrative from the juxtaposition of a child's recitation and stop-motion chaos. It explores the subconscious through the animation of mundane objects, relying on Carroll's nonsense verse to fuel its visual poetry.
What lingers after viewing is the haunting beauty of disintegration and play, a reminder of childhood's dark corners. — MovieFinder Editorial
