Gone With The Twins

With special visual effects by Ray Harryhausen and incredibly fitting music by Bernard Herrmann, the film demonstrates a classic fantasy premise full of worthwhile lessons about morality and human nature.

Rated: 6/10

Film Frenzy

While it’s true that this adaptation of Swift’s novel doesn’t contain the generous amount of creatures one usually finds in a Ray Harryhausen production, the visual effects genius still provides himself with quite the workout.

Rated: 3/4

Antagony & Ecstasy

Retains some scant measure of Swift's satiric intent, however distorted.

Rated: 7/10

For a good number of fans, Bernard Herrmann's fine score is the chief appeal here.

The most underrated movie the legendary Ray Harryhausen has ever worked on. This is the definitive adaptation of Gulliver’s Travels

I just watched the movie, and I'm in 2024... I loved it! Of course, here and there we realize that the special effects are crude for our times, but it's a great story. I felt transported to a different time. I really liked it, I really loved it. It feels like I'm a child again, with my mother telling me a story before bed. =]

It's not the best, but over all, I enjoyed it. And for being made in 1960, the special effects aren't bad.

They may have The Avengers, Star Wars, iPads, iPhones, Apple Macs, PCs, tablets.... But those of us in the early 1960s had the 3 Worlds of Gulliver, Jason and the Argonuats, Mysterious Island, and all the other wonderful creations by Ray Harryhausen. Boy, did we have great excitement that kids today with everything at their finger tips, may not understand. Packed out Saturday matinees, cheering crowds of kids, just pure magic that will rarely come again. Superb fantasy score by Bernard Herrmann.
