Gulliver's Travels (60th Anniversary Edition)


Gulliver's Travels (60th Anniversary Edition)
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
Customer Review: Classic children's movie
This is quite simply one of the greatest children's classics of all time and this particular production is worth the money. Lemule Gulliver washes ashore and encounters a land of tiny people. Through adventures, they come to understand that it is important not to judge a book by its cover...A classic lesson to learn. This vintage american cartoon classic is a must own for every collection. I highly recommend this title.
Customer Review: This is the one to buy !!
Gulliver's Travels I agree with all the other reviewers who rate this particular release as 5 star quality for it's masterful remastering and completeness. NO OTHER 1939 Gulliver's Travels on dvd is complete, starting with the Paramount introduction, etc - how do I know ??? I have purchased three others before this one, each advertising it as complete, and believe me, one of those had the Town Crier's first entrance up to where the two kings are discussing their childrens wedding excised !! The last-mentioned three's "re-mastering" is a joke. I am certain that no one will be disappointed with this superb version.
