Jabberwocky (Czech: Žvahlav aneb šatičky slaměného Huberta, "Jabberwocky, or Hubert's Straw Hats") is a 1971 Czechoslovak animated short film written and directed by Jan Švankmajer, based loosely on the 1871 poem "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll and on a children's book Anička skřítek a Slaměný Hubert ("Anička the Sprite and Straw Hubert") by Czech surrealist Vítězslav Nezval, which is referenced in the Czech title.[1][2]
