What Parents Need to Know
About The Adventures of Young Gulliver
Parents need to know that this vintage adventure cartoon is classic '60s stuff, with stereotypical heroes and villains, dumb sidekicks, and a token cheerleader-type girl. Adventures consist mostly of running from larger creatures or other people, and while there's some peril, ther'es little real violence or injury. There's also little or no link to the real Gulliver's Travels -- and certainly no educational or literary message.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how they think producers came up with the idea for the show. Do you think it would be fun to take a favorite book and imagine what might happen to a character after the book ended?
- Kids: What would it be like to be the size of a Lilliputian? What would be the coolest thing you could do -- or the scariest thing you'd see?
