That was the worst, most incorrect usage of Eldritch Abomination I have ever seen on this wiki

* BottleEpisode: This movie is an adaptation of the third in a series of six audiobooks. The reason why the film started with the third installment rather than the first was because the first two audiobooks were much bigger in scope compared to this one, which mostly takes place in a single house, and mostly in that house's basement.

The movie would likely have faded into obscurity if not for said fat ex-elf's (known as the Globglogabgalab) singing sequence, which has quickly become memetic due to the UnintentionalUncannyValley and frankly bizarre lyrics and character design. Oddly enough, however, it's the ''least'' strangest thing about the movie.

The titular Strawinsky the mole is one of four animal friends living in an unspecified fantasy realm. One day they come across a mysterious house, inhabited by strange residents such as a Scottish troll, a cello, and an elf who turned into a fat abomination by reading books. Ultimately, they have been lead astray from [[{{God}} Elohim]] by the nefarious [[SatanicArchetype Rat King]], which soon also mind controls Strawinsky's friends by making them read books. It's up to him and the [[MessianicArchetype Scarlet Queen]] to dissolve the books and save everyone.

* {{Bookworm}}: The Globglogabgalab takes this trope to uncomfortable new heights. Not only does he sing about books, he also depends on them for sustenance, eating their thoughts and ideas by shrinking and absorbing himself into the books, and upon emerging, caresses himself and giggles with glee from these feeding sessions. Oh, and his resting form looks wormlike.
