In Other Media
A song called "Beware the Jabberwock" was written for Disney's Alice in Wonderland (1951), to be sung by Stan Freberg with the Rhythmaires and Daws Butler. Written by Don Raye and Gene de Paul, it was a musical rendition of the "Jabberwocky" verse. The song was not included in the final film, but a demo recording was included in the 2004 and 2010 DVD releases of the movie. In the final release, the character of the Chesire Cat played by Sterling Holloway sings the first few lyrics of the Jabberwocky poem.
The band Ambrosia recites the Jabberwocky poem in the song Mama Frog from their self-titled debut album.
The stage musical Jabberwocky by Andrew Kay, Malcolm Middleton and Peter Phillips, follows the basic plot of the poem.
The Jabberwocky character appears in the 2010 film adaptation of Alice in Wonderland directed by Tim Burton as the favorite pet of the Red Queen. It is voiced by Christopher Lee.

“The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.”
