Jabberwocky

Based On the book by Lewis Carroll

Jabberwocky is a 1977 British fantasy comedy film co-written and directed by Terry Gilliam. Jabberwocky stars Michael Palin as Dennis, a cooper's apprentice, who is forced through clumsy, often slapstick misfortunes to hunt a terrible dragon after the death of his father. The film's title is taken from the nonsense poem "Jabberwocky" from Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking-Glass (1871). Gilliam's solo directorial debut, following co-directing Monty Python and the Holy Grail with Terry Jones in 1975, the film received a mixed response from critics and audiences.
