The great Michael Palin stars as Dennis Cooper - a young mediaeval cooper who is mistaken for a brave adventurer and subsequently enlisted to hunt down and slay the monstrous Jabberwocky terrorizing the kingdom. Adapted from Lewis Carrol's nonesense poem of the same name and boasting an amazing cast of British comedy talent (Terry Jones, Harry H. Corbett, John Le Mesurier, Warren Mitchell, Max Wall, Bernard Bresslaw, Rodney Bewes, John Bird, Neil Innes and Brian Glover) Jabberwocky is a Pythonesque comedy with the manic imagination of director Terry Gilliam firing on all cylinders.
