Product Description
This fabulous animated presentation of Jonathan Swifts classic story was only the second full-length animated feature ever produced. This story has fascinated both children and adults for centuries, and this feature brings the story to life. Gulliver, the lone survivor of a violent storm, swims ashore and falls asleep, exhausted by his ordeal. He wakes up to find himself in the strange, miniaturized kingdom of the Lilliputs. People, no taller than six inches are fascinated by the "giant" and plan to use his immense strength to defeat their enemy. Gulliver spends a delightful time with his tiny friends and steps in to prevent war between two kingdoms that were once on friendly terms. "Gulliver's Travels" was written by the famous 17th Century writer Jonathan Swift and adapted for the screen by Edmond Seward and his gifted team. The well-known tale is retold in a fascinating manner in this animated feature.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 22, 2025I gave these five starts for the great memories it brought me! The film quality is poor - not the fault of the distributor. It's a super old film (1939). When I was little, this film used to play on one of the three local stations, every Thanksgiving morning. I think I will never forget the "All's Well" song! It is a joyful tune. You can find it on YouTube as sung by the character "Gabby". By the way, I bought a copy of this for my siblings as well. My 10-years-older sister did not remember the film but my middle sister did!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2017There are probably at least 100 films with which every American should be familiar by the time they reach young adulthood. Several are children's films, both live and animated, including: The Wizard of Oz, Miracle on 34th Street, National Velvet, Snow White, Bambi, Mary Poppins. Gulliver's Travels is certainly among these. Produced in 1939 (the GREATEST year in movie history), Gulliver's Travels was only the second full-length animated feature film ever produced (less than 2 years behind Disney's Snow White). Yes, I know the story line bears no more resemblance to the Jonathan Swift classic than the Wizard of Oz does to the Frank Baum novelettes. So what? These are great flicks...for kids and any of us who was ever a kid. Apparently, the problem with Gulliver's Travels is that after the demise of the Fleisher Brothers Studio which produced it, the film fell into the public domain where any one could produce and market copies; some faithful to the original, some "restored" with varying results, some absolutely dreadful. So, which copy to add to our collection? I gambled on the 60th Anniversary Limited Edition (1999) by North Hampton Partners, Ltd. I am well pleased with my choice. To be sure, the video and especially the audio are far from perfect. But this DVD gives you 4 sound choices, and it is eminently watchable...preferably with small children to share it. Gulliver's Travels is one of my earliest movie memories. It's been at least 50 years since I saw this film in it's entirety, and seeing it again quickly took me back to my childhood. I was delighted by the nearly non-stop sight-gags among the minor characters, and moved by the plight of the separated lovers. I caught myself humming "All's Well" and "Faithful, Forever" throughout the rest of the day. And its lessons of KINDNESS, fidelity ("Faithful-Forever"), and avoiding pettiness are timeless. There may be better, cleaner video versions out there, but you will not go wrong by choosing this 60th Anniversary Limited Edition. Finally, kudos to the merchant, ThriftPro. The DVD arrived in only 3 days (?!), in new condition as promised, and for a very reasonable price.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2025A classic feel-good movie
- Reviewed in the United States on September 14, 2024Very poor quality video
- Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2001You may or may not care about the historical or technical aspects of this film (The 2nd full length animation, after Snow White. One of two feature films to come out of the famous Fleisher Studios. The delicate use of the rotoscoping, a process by which animation cells are created by tracing them from filmed footage or photographs. A great extra documentary featuring Max Fleisher, showing how cartoons are made.) If you are a cartoon buff, these things may appeal to you.
You will probably enjoy the visual element of this film. (An entirely hand painted cartoon, like a living painting. Sensuous oceans that echo the block print style of the Japanese Ukiyo-E masters. Outstanding use of the masking effect.) If you enjoy animated art, these things should appeal to you.
Or you might just want to run around your house screaming "Giant on the Beach!" and have some fun watching a great old cartoon that never really got its due. My 4 year old nephew seems to favor this approach, no matter how much I remind him of the film's aesthetic qualities and historical importance. Go figure. Anyway, this is a great DVD, and well worth the rather small price.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2023Great copy of a film I grew up with.
Watched it with my Dad *every* time it came on TV
I think it was on Channel 9 (WOR) or Channel 11 (WPIX) in New York City area
- Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2014If I could give this a big fat ZERO rating, I would. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!!!! This is nothing but a very, and I mean VERY BAD copy of a very bad copy of what is very wonderful telling of this story. I knew these bootlegged copies were out there so I tried to be careful and read the description to make sure this was for real. As they say, you can't believe everything you read. I know the price should have been a give-a-way but I had purchased some other movies for around the same price and they were actually released by the original studios. I figured the price just reflected the age of this movie. Needless to say, I have learned my lesson and hope to keep others from making my mistake. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS VENDOR!!! EVER!!!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2021Thank you for my DVD. The only thing that bothers me is that I thought I was getting the black and white version of Gulliver's Travels. And it's colorized. It takes away from originality of the one I watched on TV, that prompted me to search for this animated movie. Still, thank you. JS
