Gulliver's Travels

Only covers Gulliver's time in Lilliput. My brother and i first saw this on TV as a Nickelodeon Special Delivery. Luckily we had it recorded, and we watched it many times over the years. However, on review, it had it's moments even if it got a little tedious at times. BUT, there are cute little songs that are not in any other versions of Gulliver. That's what will stick with you. the song "Politics" is really funny. Such a great commentary on how arbitrary the art of politics really is. But, if you want a good representation of the book, i would suggest another version. Kids would be amused though.

This part-animated version of Jonathan Swift's novel predictably concentrates only on the early section in Lilliput and inevitably blunts the satirical intention of the original.

One of a seventies slew of underwhelming vehicles for Richard Harris. In addition to being rather light on the charm, Harris certainly brings little subtlety to the part. But the supporting cast contains a number of surprises.

The originality, strangeness, and mild humor that turned Jonathan Swift's novel, Gulliver's Travels into a classic is not captured at all in this poorly made adaptation of the novel. Please, save the risk of runing the book, and avoid watching this film. Trust me.

I have to disagree with the only comment listed. This movie is not the best adaptation of the novel by any means though it is significant in that it was one of the early movies to use animation to the effect seen in this move; that is, mixing real life actors with animated characters. It pulls this off spectacularly. The problem is more to do with the dialogue and pace which is, at times, tiring. I watched this as a child and always had a soft spot for it, as I now know other children to have the same. This isn't a horrible movie, it should certainly not be overlooked in my opinion. It certainly should be bought at a car-boot sale though!

I don't know why and what everyone is complaining about in here.. Personally as a child i loved it so much i still remember some of it and want to watch again now as an adult but of course adults would have another point of view now for a 1977 children's movie.
