What’s the Story?
GULLIVER'S TRAVELS is an animated musical from 1939 based on the classic Jonathan Swift tale that chronicles a shipwrecked man's visit to an island of tiny people. Gulliver finds himself in the middle of conflict between warring factions of Liliputians. It seems that the families of two star-crossed lovers can't compromise on which song to play at the wedding, and it takes Gulliver to show them the value of working together.
Is It Any Good?
While this movie bears a resemblance to the popular Disney children's films of the day, it features the unique Rotoscope style of animation pioneered by the Fleischer animation studios who also produced Popeye. It's a bit slow-paced by today's standards; older kids might be bored by the songs and the long slapstick routines. Children are sure to be delighted by the premise and the characters, and the message of peace at the heart of the tale makes it an ideal starter for the youngest viewers.
