Ebulliently imaginative and far more cleverly presented than you would expect from a TV miniseries, this satirical adventure succeeds by never pandering to the lowest common denominator. Closely based on Jonathan Swift's 1726 classic, it is enhanced by dazzling special effects from Jim Henson Productions and a superb, multi-ethnic cast. The biggest surprise is Ted Danson in the title role--one of his best performances, even if he is the only person in England without an accent. He conveys amusement, amazement, and intelligence as he travels from one strange country into another. Not that anyone back in Merry Old England believes Mr. Gulliver's tales of little people or giants. The story is told in flashback from an insane asylum, where he is forcibly confined. This far outshines several previous adaptations of Swift's satirical novel. --Rochelle O'Gorman

4 out of 5 stars Lovely.......2007-05-26

Most films on Gulliver's travels show Lilliputian and not much else. This movie tries to follow the book. Overall they did a good job.

The story was well done. The guy comes back after a long-time and tells people what he has seen. Of course no-one believes such stories of small people, giants, flying castles and intelligent horses. He has to prove that he is sane.

The acting was good. I liked the scene where he is explaining to the audience in the madhouse, how he was flying in the air in a castle.

5 out of 5 stars Long way out for a short way home.......2007-05-17

Gulliver the book and Gulliver the movie are different but, after a while, the difference stops being important. In the book, Gulliver is superior to all of his adventures. He possesses a perspective on the whims and eccentricities of kings in a writing meant as a criticism of all who hold themselves superior. The movie Gulliver enjoys his status at court. His sincere explanations/justifications of England's political practices seem even more ridiculous in the telling than in the reading. What movie Gulliver finally focuses on are the relationships between himself and his wife and son. They remained faithfull to him despite his having abandoned them. The wife's defense for her husband is that Gulliver has harmed no one. The son's providing the critical piece of evidence deflects the prosecution. Gulliver discovers that everything that he left home to find was already there. The book Gulliver remains aloof from everyone.

Dear Sirs, I have not received the order so far. I only wish I have.

Perhaps, again, there is a problem with delivery.

5 out of 5 stars J. Swift would be proud.......2007-03-08

This is almost the perfect movie for the book. Though they invented a framed narrative that wasn't in the book, it makes the movie so much more powerful and believable. It also unifies the story under one overarching narrative.

Really memorable performance by Ted Danson. It's hard to imagine anyone else as Lemuel Gulliver now.

5 out of 5 stars Special effects almost in the same league as those in Star Wars........2006-12-25

The film is told by way of flash backs. Gulliver (Ted Danson) finds himself ashore in England after a harrowing nine year absence from home. Unfortunately, once back at home in England, he suffers from periodic flashbacks wherein he provides narratives about his adventures in Lilliput, Brobdingnag, on a flying island, and elsewhere. Also unfortunately, even his wife (Mary Steenbergen; wife in real life too) does not believe the contents of his flash-back narratives. For example, towards the end of the movie she is asked if she believes her husband. Instead of saying "no," she avoids the question by replying, "I believe in him."

Everybody will be able to enjoy the brightly colored pomp and fanfares found in the various kingdoms that are encountered during Gulliver's travels. The special effects are almost as good as those found in the early Star Wars movies. Unlike most adventure movies, the movie under review has a high degree of character development. The credentials of the actors, e.g., Peter O'Toole, speak for themselves. Excellent "character actors" are also found, such as the rustic wheat farmer who discovers Gulliver and displays him in a one-man circus. In addition to the special effects, the presence of a boy character (Gulliver's son) and a girl character (wheat farmer's daughter) enhance the attraction of the film for kids.

What the movie is really "about" is not tiny villagers, flying islands, or talking horses. What the movie is really about is certain bizarre aspects of the social order, found at the time of Swift's writing. For example, one goal of the Gulliver story was to protest the practice of selling (as opposed to voting) government positions. Therefore, it might be to the advantage of any viewer, or parent, to become familiar with the social/political customs prevalent at the time. A suitable book (which actually covers France, not England), is The French Revolution and Human Rights by Lynn Hunt (1996). As with the Gulliver movie, this book explains the existance of formalized upper and lower classes, and the practice of selling government positions.

Product Description

"Gullivers Travels" was written by the famous 17th Century writer Jonathan Swift and adapted for the screen by Edmond Seward and his gifted team. The well-known tale is retold in a fascinating manner in this animated feature. The stunning visuals, hilarious dialogues, lively background music and vivid imagery witnessed throughout the film are characteristic of the Fliescher brothers, Max and David who produced and directed the movie. The visuals are absolutely stunning, considering the fact that this feature was produced in an age when computer assisted programs were unheard of. No detail is left to imagination and the story unfolds as an uninterrupted narrative. It is not surprising that he film went on to win two Academy Award Nominations - for the Best Original Score and the Best Song (Faithful Forever), and surely deserves the accolades that have been showered upon it through the decades."

1 out of 5 stars Bad remastering.......2007-01-09

This remastered edition og gulliver's travels ain't worth the medium it's printed on. Bad quality and it seems that they have had fun with the sissors on this copy.
There are scenes missing.

I am not at all happy with this purchase.

4 out of 5 stars Historically Significant..........2006-12-26

...but not that well done. Disney had set the standard with Snow White, and the Fleischer's were just not up to it. Had Snow White not come out first, this would have impressed people more. But the Fleischer's Popeye cartoons were far superior to Disney's Mickey Mouse or any other character. While Disney still had the craft more perfected, but Fleischer had the characters with personality. There was something less sanitized and more subversive about Popeye and Betty Boop, and they were much funnier and entertaining than the restrained Disney shorts. Gulliver was simply not their strong suit. Historically, it's a significant piece and any animation historian should have it, but for somebody who simply wants to entertain, there are better options. If you're a real fan of the story itself, this is not the adaptation for you either. See the live action version with Ted Danson (I kid you not.)

5 out of 5 stars A Delightful Old-Fashioned Cartoon.......2006-11-14

Lemuel Gulliver, the shipwrecked one, ends up in Lilliput. Its inhabitants are the Lilliputians--miniature people. To them, Lemuel is a giant, and they suspect that he is an enemy. So, while Lemuel Gulliver is sleeping, they tie him up. Upon awakening, he breaks free of the bonds, and shows the Lilliputians that he is their friend. The Lilliputians then love him.

But some enemies of the Lilliputians do not. They plot to kill him. They manage to steal Lemuel's flintlock pistol, and set it up as a "cannon". In time, they deploy it in order to fire at him.

In a battlefield scene, Lemuel Gulliver is dodging the miniature rocks hurled by the slingshots of the miniature-people enemies of the Lilliputians. Lemuel has no hostility to these people, and, in fact, wants to effect a reconciliation between them and the Lilliputians. He is completely unaware of the "cannon" set to be fired at him. I will not spoil the ending by informing the reader what happens to Lemuel Gulliver as he stands helplessly within sight of the barrel of the "cannon".

5 out of 5 stars A NOT so small achievement!.......2006-06-02

Walt Disney said of this film, the first non Disney animated feature to hit theaters just 2 years after Snow White (the first animated feature), "We could have done better than that with our second unit of animators". Well, that may or may not be true, depending on how one looks at the film. True, the animation overall, but particularly of the incidental and secondary characters, is a bit on the crude side. Also, the character designs, as a whole, seem a bit more dated than the earlier "Snow White". Still, one of the things I have always loved about the Fleischer Studio is that they were the one studio that never tried to be Disney. MGM, Universal and even early Warner Brothers tried to emulated the lush quality of Disney cartoons and, for the most part, always fell short because by the time they got to where Disney was, Disney was already far ahead of them. But the Fleischer cartoons were always different. They developed a kooky but brazen quality all their own. There is no mistaking a Fleischer cartoon from the 1930s to around 1942. They have a unique, eccentric look and way of movement that no other studio had. A quirky, imaginative, jaunty quality that was bold, innovative, and unashamed. Once the studio was taken away from the Fleischers and changed over to "Famous Studios" all that changed and the studio output became more mainstream. But, during the great Popeye, Betty Boop and Superman era, the Fleischer cartoons remained origina and uniquel. And even with the rather "rubbery" Prince and Princess and the somewhat stiff Rotoscoped looking Gulliver, this feature embodies all the wonderful Fleischer qualities of their shorts, pushed up a notch for a feature and embellished with lavish backgrounds and dimensional sets or "setbacks", great songs and a wonderful rich score by Victor Young. Don't miss Gulliver and, if you like that, check out "Hoppity Goes to Town", (the second and final Fleischer feature). It is also very enjoyable.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Film .......2006-04-27

When I was a child my dad used to read Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" to me and I loved it. My favorite part was always when the liliputions tie him up and beat him even though they are so tiny.

Therefore when I saw this film on the list I knew I had to order it. I was very happy with what I got. This is an older (classic) cartoon that takes all of hte best scenes from gullivers travels and puts them together in a semi-musical format (there is not that much singing.)

It's very faithful to the book as I remember it as a kid.

This 1939 animated film is based on Jonathan Swift's classic novel about a sailor stranded on an island populated by people the size of his thumb. When Gabby, the town crier, discovers Gulliver on the beach, he runs to tell the king. But the king is preoccupied with the impending wedding of his daughter, Princess Gloria, to Prince David from the neighboring kingdom. When the kingdoms can't agree on which song to play at the wedding, Gulliver is caught in the middle of a war. His common sense helps the two sides resolve their dispute, but not before a lot of adventure and romance.

A milestone in the art of animation, this was the second animated motion picture of its magnitude ever produced, after Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It has been digitally mastered and visually enhanced, making it first-rate family entertainment even today. --Elisabeth Keating

4 out of 5 stars Innocent Pleasure........2007-06-13

I watched this with a 3 year old whose mother is very particular about what he watches, (absolutely no violence), and he loved it. It really is magical for innocent little ones. The songs are kind of cute when you watch them with someone so completely uncynical. He was captivated and told me what a great movie it was. After we watched it we went to a bookshop and bought the book, so it has stimulated an interest in literature as well. I recommend this one wholeheartedly for little kids, especially ones not ruined by too much TV. Or maybe you could use it as an antidote for much of the nasty "children's" product available now.

5 out of 5 stars This is definitely the version to get........2007-04-30

I've read that other versions of this dvd have omitted scenes for some weird reason. One scene in particular that was left out of the other version was the "All's well" song sung by gabby.

This version has it all, the picture quality is absolutely stunning. I own a VHS copy of this movie and i can't believe how beautiful this version looks. I'm seeing things on film i've never seen before. Another great feature of this dvd is the sound format. They offer several different sound formats, you can watch the movie with enhanced sound features, or just watch it with the original soundtrack, there are others i just can't remember.

Yes it has no subtitles, but i think you can live without subtitles. I'd rather have a complete movie without subtitles, than a movie that's been shortened with subtitles.

They also have some cool bonus features such as two Gabby episodes, showing you the cleaning up process of old fleischer films, and also how the old school fleischer films were made.

All in all for roughly 10 bucks, you're getting a great deal.

5 out of 5 stars Great vintage cartoon.......2007-01-30

One of my boyhood favorites that never seems to get shown on TV. Just as I remember it...better, because now that I own it, I can show it to my grandkids whenever I want(they loved it!) Wonderful restoration of sound and color. Animation as good as you'll find anywhere. I highly recomend for families and those into real animation. For the same reasons I also recomend "Hoppity Goes To Town".

I bought this DVD for $[...] General and was very pleased with it. The transfer is not Criterion caliber, but considering some of the awful video and DVD copies available in the marketplace, this one's quite good, and even contains the original opening and closing Paramount logos, as well as the original theatrical trailer after the movie!

The movie itself is very enchanting and a great document of early color and early feature-length animation. The artwork is quite good for something not made by Disney, and the songs are lovely.

I truly suggest this DVD if you're looking for a cheap copy that's better than most available copies. Someday I may be able to get an even better copy, as I've heard of a couple out there that are considered to be very high quality. But for now, Diamond Entertainment's DVD is good enough for me.

      Product Description

      Based on Jonathan Swift's 18th century immortal tale. This animated feature includes wonderful songs and endearing characters. It took nearly 700 artists to complete this 1939 feature film which was directed by Dave Fleischer and produced by Max Fleischer for Fleischer Studios. Gulliver, an ordinary sailor, washes ashore on the island of Lilliput where the people are small enough to fit in the palm of his hand. There he tries to prevent war between Lilliput and a rival island. While this charming production does take some liberties with the storyline as compared to Swift's novel, it is sure to be a treasured favorite for many. Featuring the singing voices of Jessica Dragonette as Princess Glory and Lanny Ross as Prince David.
