Jabberwocky (film) - Definition and Overview

Jabberwocky (1977) is a film by Monty Python's resident animator, Terry Gilliam. It stars Michael Palin as a young cooper (barrelmaker) who is forced to hunt down a terrible dragon after the death of his father.

The film, Gilliam's first as a solo director, was not well-received by critics or audiences, although it has gained something of a cult following since its release, and strongly established Gilliam's distinctive visual style and dark sense of humour.

The name is taken from the nonsense poem Jabberwocky by Lewis Carroll.
