EM: Meeting the Jabberwocky

T'wis brilling,
And the slithy toves,
That gire and gimble in the wabe
And mimzey are the borogoves
and the mome raths out grabe

Beware the jab-jab-Jabberwock,
the Jub-Jub, and the
Bandersnatch...


That was a deleted song from the original 1950's Disney "Alice in Wonderland."

Here's a sketch of what I think would happen in the sequal to "Epic Mickey."


Picture this: Mickey, Oswald, and Gus are now in a Wonderland-que world of the Wasteland (or maybe another forgotten world) called, "Blunderland."

Here they are now in the place called "Tumtum Wood" forest (an anti-version of "Tulgey Wood"), where they see all of the scrapped ideas of the Tulgey Wood creatures:

Like slithy-toves, borogoves, the Bandersnatch, and the most fearsome here....the Jabberwocky!


When the trio had came near the part of the forest where the Jabberwock residents there, Oswald started to describe the appearences of the ugly creature.

And while making fun of how ugly the guy is, Mickey and Gus saw the Jabberwocky right behind Oswald, with an angry look on his face.


And here's the dialouge I image to go with this scean:

*Mick, Oz, and Gus look at the signs on the trees*

Mickey: *to Oswald* What's up with these signs that say "Beware of the Jabberwocky"?

Gus: *all nervous* And what does the "Jabberwocky" look like?

*all three paused for a moment as Oswald steps forward and turns around*


Oswald: *to Mickey* Have you ever read the original poem of the Jabberwocky in your world?"

Mickey: Not really....I never even gotten to that part in "Through the Looking Glass."


Oswald: Then I'll tell you what the Jabberwocky here looks like.

He has a long crooked snout *strechs out his nose*

Enormous red and yellow glowing eyes *makes benoculars with his hands, and his eyes grew big and glow red and yellow*


Big sharp teeth *streachs out his cheeks while talking*

Sharp claws *makes claws with his fingers*

I mean, that guy is so ugly, a deformed crocodile looks more appealing.


*Mickey and Gus looks up and sees the Jabberwocky, behind Oswald*

Mickey & Gus:

Mickey: *in a soft voice* Oswald...it's..it's..

Oswald: *continues to taught the Jabberwocky* Wait, I got another one, the Jabberwock is so ugly, his mother asked the stork for a refund!

*Jabberwock snourts steam out of his snout onto Oswald*


Oswald: *looks up and right behind him*

Jabberwocky: *snarls*


Oswald: *looks at the game players* Man, I hate this cliche!





*Trivia Time*

Part of the Jabberwock's desgin isn't quite like the original Disney version.

The original one had shaggy hair on it's head and neck, a teapot on it's head, and a hand on his tail.


So let me get this straight; the same guy (Walt Disney) who accepted/made sceans like:

*The Pink Elephants on Parade scenqunce (Dumbo)
*The transformation of the Wicked Queen (Snow White)
*The Hefflelump and Woozle song (Winnie the Pooh)
*The "Peter and the Wolf" segment (Make Mine Music)

And a dorky looking dragon was what he found "too scary"????


Jabberwocky= A dragon with an ugly snout, a teapot on it's head, a fat body, small wings, and a hand at the end of his tail

Jub-Jub Bird= A vulture-umberlla hybrid (which DID made it to the film)

Bandersnatch = The same thing as the Jabberwocky, only blue with strips, walks on all fours, and has a net for a tail....


Yeah, I think I'll have to go with Tim Burton's designs (at least they know how to make me jump out of my seat )



Enjoy!
