Overview

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.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A delightfully strange fever dream rendered in stop-motion, where toys and household objects twist into surreal tableaux as Carroll's nonsense verse comes uncannily to life. It feels like peering into the logic of a child's imagination, familiar one moment, impossible the next.
