!The Poem
* {{Defictionalization}}: Some of the nonsense words that Carroll made up, such as "chortled", are now in the Oxford English Dictionary.
* IAmNotShazam: The creature is called the Jabberwock not the Jabberwock''y'', an understandable mistake.
!The Film
* MarketBasedTitle: In some countries, the film was promoted and released as ''Creator/MontyPython's Jabberwocky'', against the wishes of Creator/TerryGilliam. After threats of legal action, the Python reference was removed from all subsequent reissues.
* NoBudget: On the DVDCommentary, Creator/TerryGilliam said the budget was so small they could only afford one corridor. Many scenes were shot in a single take because the film didn't have enough time or money for multiple takes.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** Creator/DudleyMoore was first cast as Man with Rock.
** Producer Sanford Lieberson originally wanted Creator/MichaelCrawford for the role of Dennis.
** Creator/JohnCleese turned down a role.
