Gerri Major Jet Magazine The 3 Worlds Of Gulliver offers top entertainment for everyone from seven to 70. Adults will be delighted by the biting satire. Youngsters will be entertained by the little people and the giants. Jan 16, 2024 Full Review Mike Massie 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 Aug 9, 2023 Full Review Matt Brunson 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 Apr 12, 2023 Full Review Tim Brayton Antagony & Ecstasy Retains some scant measure of Swift's satiric intent, however distorted. Rated: 7/10 May 17, 2013 Full Review Mark Bourne DVDJournal.com For a good number of fans, Bernard Herrmann's fine score is the chief appeal here.

Liam D The most underrated movie the legendary Ray Harryhausen has ever worked on. This is the definitive adaptation of Gulliver’s Travels Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Erick S 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. =] Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/06/24 Full Review Audience Member Movies are just for fun... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member It's not the best, but over all, I enjoyed it. And for being made in 1960, the special effects aren't bad. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member A great story and never done better. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Read all reviews
