(1939, Dave Fleischer) In this Technicolor cel-animation loosely based on Jonathan Swift’s novel, Lemuel Gulliver washes up on the shores of the island of Lilliput, where he finds himself caught up in a war between the pint-sized Lilliputians and Blefuscuians. 35mm. Approx. 74 min.
Reviews
“A light-hearted introduction to a literary classic. Kids will love Gabby, Liliput’s town crier, who steals the picture with his neurotic traits and childlike personality.”
– Leonard Maltin, Family Film Guide
“A pleasant and diverting animated picture-book, drawn in the brightest Technicolor.”
– The New York Times
