Plot.

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.

Wiki.

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.
