I have never minded the cartoon version of Alice in Wonderland, if that's the movie to which you are referring. I watched it often on the Disney Channel when I was in elementary school.
The '80s miniseries Alice in Wonderland, though, terrified the freaking soul out of me when I was a little kid. Despite looking back now at all its floppy rubber bits and puppet-strings, I have never felt as terrified of a media character as I was of that Jabberwock.
Oddly enough, "Jabberwocky" is now one of my favorite poems and I have it memorized.
I used to have Jabberwocky memorized-- I even did a dramatic reciting of it (vorpal sword and all) for extra credit in my high school drama 1 class. Hated that class, liked that poem. Hellbitch teacher.

I should point out I can't drive so two of those questions didn't work for me.
