Cheshire cat singing jabberwocky!!

[silverysnow92]

Without the video it just sounds like a morbid Winnie the Pooh. o.O

[kcwebers]

@silverysnow92 His voice was originally the same voice actor as Winnie the Pooh :)

[princess12caspian]

he sounds like a messed up winnie the pooh.

[890rich]

[zaharius69]

[65animatedfan]

@johnxgin3 that song is looks chesire cat sings jebberwocky is looks rather is chesire cat's motto or a chesire cat's appears in it

[RaygunzandLasers]

This has been combined with the poem "The Walrus and the Carpenter".

[sinfuledge]

The Cheshire Cat is awesome!!! Check out my time lapse painting of the Cheshire Cat on my channel! Thanks!

[SoraCloud9]

[sk99live]

This isn't the proper song

[cooro987]

Strangley still's of the cheshire parts creep me out more so then it actually playing. >.<

[ilwilis]

who's voice is that?

[TheHaxman999]

@ilwilis jim cummings. the voice of winnie the pooh

[RinoaHSquallL]

@TheHaxman999 Actually it's not, Jim Cummings does Winnie the Pooh Now, but it's not, it's Sterling Holloway, the original Pooh

[LlamaSims2010]

@TheHaxman999 I thought it was Sterling Holloway....

[SuperBg321]

OMG I think pooh bear and chessire cat are the same !

[nicole3675]

this is one of my favorite poems

[ChazJayHeaton]

We read the jabberwocky for AS level english, and I just kept thinking of this XD

[PinkPunkyKat]

He sounds like Whinnie the Pooh!

[Reznov65]

hes incredibly and utterly fantastically mad

[Boonedaba]

And The voice of the Mad Hatter is Uncle Albert in Mary Poppins.

[emoisnthatcool]

@Boonedaba and winnie the pooh :}

[LordZaamus]

Calloh calley no work today!!

[PinkPunkyKat]

He sounds like Whinnie the Pooh.

[melody2104]

@PinkPunkyKat He is. It's the same person dubbing the voice.

[MelloloverXD]

That sounds like winny the Poo

[Mjacksonfan11]

this is creepy, but im singing this song in choir not this version defenatly ours is cooler... :)))) hehe:)

[JusImagination]

best version :)

[Copper4head]

This poem is over a century old, but no more than 150 years old.

[Copper4head]

I never noticed that the Cheshire Cat had been singing the Jabberwocky poem before

[TheDrowningCat]

Muy muy alicesco jejeje ;)

[PCCphoenix]

In the special edition of the 1951 Disney version of "Alice in Wonderland," actress Kathryn Beaumont explains that Disney dropped the planned part of the film that featured the Jabberwocky, but had the Cheshire Cat sing the song based on the poem. With that, they had to drop the song originally planned for the Cheshire Cat, which was entitled, quite appropriately, "I'm Odd."

[DrEviscerator666]

Lewis Carroll FTW!

[SatanisaBeaverShark]

I just realized that the Cheshire Cat has the same VA as Winne the Pooh.

[autogirl333]

@SatanisaBeaverShark huh, i thought i reconized that voice!

[TwilightLink77]

The Jabberwocky was suppose to be in the 1951 film but was taking out although the childrens book of the 1951 version has the only appearance of the Jabberwocky.

[MrCh3wyBacca]

has any one else noticed the name of the poem is jabberwocky but the name of the monster in the poem is just jabberwock

[djfurst]

@MrCh3wyBacca

Yeah. That doesn't make sense.

But has anyone else noticed that half the words don't make sense?

Oh right, I think it's supposed to be that way... Maybe.

[jesfitz89]

@djfurst Strangely the first verse roughly translates to: It was Evening, and the smooth active badgers were scratching and boring holes in the hill-side; all unhappy were the parrots, and the grave turtles squeaked out.

It's in the back of my Alice's adventures in Wonderland and through the Looking-glass. :D

[Ithruwen]

@djfurst Yes, that is rather the point. In fact, many words from this poem have now been adopted for actual use. Sheer brilliance.

[zzzzzzooioriotrt]

ridiculous adaptation of a great novel, this books are not for kids, stupid disney that fucks off everything

[TheGIRROX]

@zzzzzzooioriotrt Thnk u soooooooo much 4 saying so someone had 2 there sequel they recently made i mor like the books then the original hell the American Mcgee's version is mor like the books then the old disney version and the only reason the new 1 is like the original is becuz Tim Burton made it

[fattyacid6]

@TheGIRROX yes i definitly love the american mgee's version it also seems a lot more dark of in tone which i think is quite facinating

[LawlietandLight]

@zzzzzzooioriotrt It was actually pretty famous with children and adults when it first came out, and still is..

[FujiAppleGraphic]

@zzzzzzooioriotrt I believe the books are for kids, I read the whole book when I was 10.

[DisneyLoveQ]

@zzzzzzooioriotrt This one is currently more famous

[Babygirl83641]

Did Jim Henson do the walrus' voice. it sounds a lot like one of his voices.

[xxxabisnailxxx]

The name of this song is not "Jabberwocky". It's actuallyt "T'was Brilling".

[LongTimeNoSwing]

@xxxabisnailxxx but the poems name is Jabberwocky.

[baysbear124]

lol I LUV ALICE IN WONDERLAND SO MUCH MY ROOM IS LIKE THE MAD HAT TEA PARTY! i such a geek bout alice in wonderland

[wizardwarrior713]

haha when we had to recite the Jabberwocky for school, I was geeking out over and over about how I heard the Cheshire Cat sing that before!

[fireyulia]

Holy f*k... I've watched this movie so many times because I own the VHS, but I NEVER thought he was SINGING the "Jabberwocky", I really honestly thought it was just some words he made up o.O... -Goes back to watch her VHS -- if it works-

[flash4212]

i thought the ending was random! =)]

[AlternaGay]

Excellent job with the editing!! Funny that I never caught that Ches was singing Jabberwocky, even though I've read the books & seen this movie more times than I care to count (they've been my all time fav since I was kid lol)

[TheDreamingSleeper]

So...... Holloway AND Cummings did do Ches together?

I have heard and Cummings comes in the part where Ches pulls Queen's underpants to the sky XD.

Yea.......

I just love him X3

[NeptuneMS385]

'Twas brillig and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe.

All mimsy were the borogroves

And the mome raths, outgrabe.

"Beware the jabberwock my son, the jaws that bite, the claws that snatch." Beware the jub-jub bird, and shun the frumious bandersnatch.

So taking vorpal sword in hand, long time the maxim foe he sought. So rested he by the tum-tum tree and sat a while in thought....

[rikabeau93]

@NeptuneMS385

And as in uffish thought he stood,

The jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood

And burbled as it came.

One, two! One, two! And through and through

The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head,

He went galumphing back....

[Mariiii359]

@rikabeau93

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?

Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"

He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

All mimsy were the borogroves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

[raven8344]

@NeptuneMS385 love that poem i have it saved to my computer so when im bored i can read

[satcgal45]

I bought the new DVD and I had no idea it was the Jabberwocky's poem. I've only heard of the Jabberwocky in the new Alice in Wonderland movie.

[chewchewchewing]

@satcgal45 it was in through the looking glass alice

[musiquemandolin]

sterling holloway...he did winnie the pooh and kah in the jungle book too...great guy! this is my favorite poem too!

[gaz52]

@musiquemandolin Also did roquefort (the mouse) in the aristocats.

[TheLastCurlbender]

@musiquemandolin OHMIGOSH!!! I was totally right!!! I watched this yesterday and was like "lol that sounds like winnie the pooh...and Kah!!!" lol like legit that just made my day XD

[crinier2lama]

@musiquemandolin he also did the mouse in the aristocats

[michelangelo466]

it's whinnie the pooh!

[Zenjedi99]

POOH STYLEY!!!  i(eye)nsani...T!!!

[FadoWind]

Qué loco!! XD

[Jgaldragon]

FINALLY, i know what that darn cat is mumbling in his song

the story of Alice in wonderland is interesting, but the movie was not Disney's best work, even as a kid i was bored of it O_o

[santiagocabrera]

@Jgaldragon

What r u talking about

this movie is gorgeous

and so underrated

it deserves better recognition

[rynoazh]

@santiagocabrera

agree!!!

just a question

[HabboGoat]

Is this guy whinnie the pooh?

[GreenGrand2000]

@HabboGoat  Yes

[XxFugufishXx]

I LOVE the Cheshire Cat!!

:D

[xXSpazzyWantsAHugXx]

@XxFugufishXx agreed ;D

[DoorOfHalloween]

Damn theres alot of Kaa in his english voice. I know its the same actor, but I can stille see Kaa singing this in my mind xD

[mothrasaurus]

@DoorOfHalloween Yes, they were both voiced by Sterling Holloway

[PhantomWolf95]

I could never really understand what they're saying in this movie. But I LOVE it ANYWAYS!!!

[XanthsAMV]

@PhantomWolf95

I know! I had the same problem! XD If you listen closely though, it's the first stanza of Lewis Carrol's poem Jabberwocky:

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.

[saphira242]

lol,guy below me, people would know that if they read the story. its in the first chapter of through the looking-glass and what alice found there

[creamcheesproduction]

The guy who wrote the book Alice in wonderland wrote a different poem or book whatever it's called called jabberwocky. But the movie is supposed to be based of the looking glass from what I've heard :) I think that's it I gotta read about it more haha OMG I'm a nerd O.O

[sukoutoshindo]

@creamcheesproduction

Burton's? Sorry if I am incorrect, but that's about right; however, it's going to be a side tale or a split from Alice. In turn, it's Alice, but it's Burton's own way of the story. It is based heavily on the looking glass, but he uses the queen of hearts persona for the red queen. The two are completely different. So when you see it, don't expect it to follow the book much, but it's going to be awesome!

[Bokii1331]

@sukoutoshindo

It was crap. There was almost no Burton to be found in it, I don't think there was ANY Elfman, and at no point was I unaware that I was watching a movie. If you're a Burton fan, see it anyway, because his next work can only be better.

[Treemeadow]

Agreed. I am a huge fan of Wonderland (since a small girl when I read the book).

And a HUGE Burton fan.

It was enjoyable as a movie, but it just didn't taste like Burton. Not a drop.

Ed Wood- thats Burton. Scissorhands, to a small extent, Charlie...but this, it just tastes Hollywood.

Its fine, and maybe he has changed as a director, but I prefer his old things. If he changes, who will fill that niche?

His films were the highlight of my childhood.

[Bokii1331]

Same. Nightmare Before Christmas was one of the best movies I ever saw. Corpse Bride almost felt like a sequel. And, considering the fact that they sold Johnny Depp? No, really, that was THE selling point of the movie. Depp as the Hatter. And even that was disappointing, something I never figured I would say.

[Treemeadow]

I'd never thought I'd see the day where Burton became a sell-out. Or Depp, for that matter.

I was 10 years old when I first saw Depp, in Edward Scissorhands. I can still remember him being on the "not" lists of the Hot or Nots, and being proud.

Now every teeny bopper in the street thinks he's the greatest thing, but know nothing about either or them.

as you said, we can only hope Burton returns to his routes and gives us more of his dark "Vincent" type things.

[CNLSoma]

Agreeed!

[m33ohch4n]

Lewis Carroll actually wrote this poem, Jabberwocky, in Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There.

[spinspinnsugar]

TY I was looking for this, my son is only just turned one but he absolutely loves it. Even if I just recite the poem, he is enthralled, waiting for the part where I get to the jabberwocky, he screams and laughs histerically, it's eerie, I guess he just likes the tone of it and the vocal inflections.

[XanthsAMV]

@creamcheesproduction

Disney mixed together elements from both Alice books (Wonderland and Looking Glass) to create their own unique version of the Alice tale. :D

The jabberwocky song sung by the

Cheshire Cat is based upon a poem found in the beginning of Looking Glass.

[frostyfeather]

Offical~ Jabberwocky

I prefer the song over this... *heh*

[Lexiheartssk8tr]

this song gives me the fucking creeps!!!

[SpideyFanGirl5]

Wait, I thought this was called Twas Brillig, why did you call it JabberWocky?

[PhoenixPlaneswalker]

@SpideyFanGirl5 The original poem is called Jabberwocky.

[OfficiaICheshireCat]

That's what the poem was originally called.

[leppy228]

hes singing the poem Jabberwocky

[cheekybrenn]

Twas brillig and the slithy toves did the gyre and gimble in the wabe: all the mimsy were the borogoves and the mome raths outgrabe

LOVE THIS SONG

[booAHHHH]

do you happen to know what all of it means?

[1ceman1988]

It is the greatest non-sense poem in history by lewis carrol's

[Treemeadow]

Twas near tea, and the little pig like thingys with long noses were spinning around in the shadow of something...gah, it DOES have an absurd meaning, look it up online.

[greendaynaru]

I love it but gives me the fuckin creeps

[melancholymistress89]

I think that's WHY I love it.

[lixdexical]

His voice sounds like the guy who did the voice over for Winnie the Poo....hmm....

[ndbone08]

@lixdexical It's the same voice actor :- D

[LadyNekoshema]

it is. he also played Kaa in the Jungle Book

[melancholymistress89]

Disney used a lot of the same voice actors in all of their pieces for many years. Also, there just were not very many voice actors out there. For instance, the man that did the White Rabbit's voice also played Mr Smee in Peter Pan, as well as MANY other voices. A similar climate still exists in television voice acting (if you look at almost any two shows, InuYasha and X-Men: Evolution for instance, you will notice a lot of the same names), but you will see more celebrities in movies now.

[SinfulAlchemist]

it is the guy who did Winnie the Pooh, and Kaa from the Jungle Book

[13CORPSES]

Twas brilling, and the slithy toves, did gyre and the gimbesl in the wabe, all mimsy, were the borogoves, and the momeraths, out grabe!

[xxSilkieSmoothxx]

jabberwocky is actually from a poem written by Aleister Crowley...which isn't a poem at all, but a spell. it's in the book of lies..check it out.

[murcam]

i don't really like the disney version but i like the cheshire cat's voice in this one

[67nairb]

It's Sterling (Winnie the Pooh) Holloway doing the voice of the Cheshire Cat.

[murcam]

already knew that but thnx

[67nairb]

Already knew what? That Sterling Holloway was the voice of the Cheshire Cat? Why was the Jabberwocky featured in Walt Disey's ALICE AND WONDERLAND?

[oddspongeout]

If you mean why Wonderland and not Through the Looking Glass, then for the same reason why Tweedle Dee and Dum are featured. . . They blended the two stories.

[Klopy1414]

i was always scared how his voice would get all echoy

[iluvfinalfantasyx]

i hate it when kids at my high school say that "people were high" when this movie was made. most people don't even know this was originally a book, and its for chidlren, its meant to be fantasical and bizzare.

[AshTheFallenAngel]

i personally think lewis carroll was high when he wrote the book, but i dont really care, i quite like the bizarrity of it. but i dont particularly like the disney version

[Hethrin]

He was, he actually was on some form of drug...so was Robert Louis Stevenson when he wrote Dr Jeykll.

[67nairb]

Bizarre like the Max Fleischer cartoons of the early 1930s.

[Constance0Lirit]

@iluvfinalfantasyx Hah...you can only wish that mate...

[xXxsoupyxXx]

the book is like 18734849328 times better than the movie.

but I love them both<3 :D

[3broomsticks02]

he plays winnie the pooh and ka from the lion king o.o weird? i think so

[iHaveOneArm]

dont u mean jungle book o-O

[3broomsticks02]

yes, yes i do :) sorry

[Simpsonfreak1]

lol this is the most random movie i think!

[DefyingOz]

The Author was also a reverend, and, just as its unfair to make jokes about priests and choir-boys, its unfair to label Charles Dodgson a pedophile.

With a fascination for the new technology and a love of children, what other subject was he supposed to photograph? He photographed his models both nude and clothed, as most decent photographers do to this day. Children, however, were not Dodgsons only subjects, He often photographed entire families, and his adult friends.

[DefyingOz]

Lewis Carroll was an early photographer. He also wrote childrens books, obviously, He got along best with children, and, though he spoke with a slight stammer when addressing adults, he had no trouble speaking to children.

[cooliee124]

lol did u guys know that the jabbawockeez got their name bcuz of the dragon lol thas cool.

[zeldamaddie]

He had an obsession with little girls. That's why the Cheshire Cat always smiles at her, because he meant for the CC to be a depiction of himself.

[RabbitDance]

he sounds like some character from Winney the Pooh

[DavidJMcCarthy]

he is! ahah.

[RabbitDance]

who?

[kitttykat248]

he IS the guy that does the voice for pooh, Sterling Holloway... :P

[Bmxboylikesktlz]

Also Ka the snake from Jungle Book =D

[kitttykat248]

oh yea!, i forgot

[67nairb]

Kaa is spelled with two a's

[Bmxboylikesktlz]

Yeah it is, my bad =]

[67nairb]

What is your bad equal?

[cutiecookie23]

this cat always gave me nightmares. Im seriouse, is he like stoned or someting?

Honestly.

[doctorwholordotime]

no he got away alive i belive

[cutiecookie23]

Its hard to see is he is ever sobered up. Mabye its just the way he is....

[zeldamaddie]

Well...the author was a pedophile and when he made the Cheshire Cat, it was supposed to represent himself. And Alice...well, there you go.

[cutiecookie23]

I know that the authour was a pedophile, but I didnt know that the cat represtnted him....but dysney did a good job of making that statement,though.

[DefyingOz]

You're doin' it Rawng, kid.

The White knight (from Through the Looking Glass) is supposed to be Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll). The Shaggy hair, the constant disorganization , The inventions.

The white knight is the ONLY character that is truly kind to Alice.

The Cheshire Cat has absolutely no deep meaning at all, nor was he invented to fawn after nymphets.

You wanna know where your pedophile cat comes from?

Cheshire, of course.

[DefyingOz]

In Cheshire, Cheese was once sold in the form of a grinning cat. Tradition led people to slice the cheese by beginning at the cats tail and working their way to the head, eventually leaving nothing but a grin on the cheese-plate.

[HalfBreedChaos]

O_o??

[mothrasaurus]

wtf at the end

[emROARS]

If I have a tabby cat, i'm going to name him Cheshire. =D

[Chickofmanywonders]

omg this brings back memories i did the 2nd alice in wonder land movie as a play at drama camp

[drunkballerina89]

you gotta give it to Disney they added some hidden Carroll things only people who read the book know and love... and i have you are old father william memorized as well as how doth the little crocodile lol Lewis Carroll geeks rock!

[metalheadfitz666]

My wife is the same way

[megadork456]

Lewis Carroll Geeks! (Though his real name was Charlse Dodgeson). I've memorized The Song of the Jaberwocky, How doth the Little Crocodile, Turtle Soup, Tis' the Voice of the Lobster, the Lobster Quadrille, the Mouse's Tale, Twinkle Twinkle Little Bat, that two-stanza poem that rules how the knave of hearts stole the tarts, Tweedledum and Tweedledee, the Lion and the Unicorn, Hush-a-Bye Lady, and more! My name says it all!

[ScarlettRoberts]

I LoVEEEEEE THIS CAT!

[BrosoKintobor]

lol

[SnowWhiteQueen29]

LMAO Apparently a lot of people have never read the book.

I have Jabberwocky memorized. XD

Shows you how much of a nerd I am. D:

[MadelineHatter]

It's okay. I have the Lobster Quadrille memorized. :)

[SirJ4ck]

:)

It's kinda disturbing to hear the Cheshire Cat singing Jabberwocky-.....

[laderalovesyou]

im the chesire cat for this play im doing.

thanx 4 this video it helped allot.

[otherFlawliet]

He has the same voice as Winnie the Pooh I think...

[upgrade5]

Of course, both were voiced by Sterling Holloway, and then Jim Cummings after he died.

[MadelineHatter]

yep and Kaa from jungle book

[otherFlawliet]

*gasp* and the Roquefort in the Aristocats (the mouse)

[MadelineHatter]

Ahh he's everywhere!

He also did the Stork in "Dumbo" and adult Flower in "Bambi"

[otherFlawliet]

Waah! Disney sure did like him!

[MadelineHatter]

sure did

[BrosoKintobor]

yer, and the snake from the jungle book :)

[flamingopuree]

No wonder I could never discern what he was singing. They're nonsense words. :U

...not that there's any problem with nonsense.

[greatwhitetigeress1]

I thought it said, "And the mall rats, are gay."

[tearsinmycoke]

no its;

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe.

[megadork456]

"But wait a bit," the oysters said, "before we have our chat. For some of us are out of breath, and all of us are fat." "No worry," said the carpenter. They thanked him much for that.

[Garrrske]

what is the Jabberwocky? is it in the original story? A man eating grass hopper? I've always wondered about that.

[FunnyWalrus]

In the looking glass, the jabberwocky was a animal in the wonderland. one who was a danger and was dodged and avoided by all. It was also described as a lizard type monster who also was described as able to breathe fire.

[jmhotpink123]

it is like a monster Lewis Caroll wrote a poem about it!! Hope it helps

[ShiofHearts]

It's the monster from the poem in the second book (which is merged with the first one in most movies xD). It uses a lot of nonsense words, and it's basically satirizing bad poetry.
