In this animated tale, seaman Lemuel Gulliver (Sam Parker) is the sole survivor of a shipwreck on the distant land of Lilliput, whose people are no bigger than peanuts. Unaware of Gulliver lying on the beach, King Little arranges for the marriage of his daughter, Princess Glory (Jessica Dragonette), to Prince David (Lanny Ross), the son of neighboring King Bombo. Angered when King Little refuses to agree on the wedding song, Bombo declares war just as the villagers discover the giant Gulliver.

The film is a delight because it's wonderfully executed from the physical point of view of the Lilliputians, considering Gulliver as a formidable giant among them. [Full review in Spanish]

It doesn't make for a masterpiece, but it can be compelling at points, especially for those interested in this era of animation.

The second ever animated film by an American studio. Even though it takes away the social commentary of the novel it is an impressive animated film that with an short runtime it is an wonderful film

This movie did a terrible job of retelling the actual book. I know most people take creative liberties when doing retellings, but thy could have at least kept something close to the actual premise of the book, instead of simply creating an almost entirely new storyline. Next to that, the entire film just felt awkward, with imo bad pacing and frequent renewing of the main plot

2021-10-17視聴．白雪姫と比べるとロトスコープがまだこなれておらず，いかにも実写をトレースしているという不自然さがある．しかしデフォルメされた絵との対比が面白くも見え，常人と小人の違いを分かりやすくしている．小人の中でも王子と姫だけはデフォルメされておらずガリバーと同様の等身で描かれているが，ロトスコープは使用されていないように見え，とくに顔は美しいとは言えない．美男美女として描かれかつストーリー上でも重要なキャラクターなので，もう少し美しく描いて欲しかった．ロトスコープは普通に描くよりもコストがかかるのだろうか．総評としては，どうしても白雪姫と比べると劣ってしまうが，それでも同時代にディズニー以外にもこれ程のクオリティのアニメーション作品があったのかという発見があり良かった．
