Great children's adaption.......2004-06-21
Shipwrecked sailor, Lemuel Gulliver finishes up on the island of Lilliput, a little country inhabited by tiny people no bigger than his thumb. When Gulliver learns of a petty conflict between the Lilliputians and their equally tiny rivals, he attempts to settle things peacefully before war breaks out.
A great film for kids and sadly underrated, possibly because it first came out at the same time as Disney's Snow White.
The animation, which is chiefly 'rotoscoping' for the title character, may seem archaic in today's market, but considering that this film was made in 1939 this was a major achievement.
The sequence where the Lilliputians were trussing up, hoisting and carting a sleeping Gulliver to their king's palace was very well thought out and this film is well worth the watching if only for that.

Chamberlain was not coping any more: war was a necessity.......2008-02-11
A black and white film that looks like animation but is none. The film is a very, very personal rewriting of Gulliver's Travels to Lilliput. In fact the whole film concentrates on two small kingdoms in Lilliput that are planning to marry their princess and prince but the fathers have a disagreement on which of two songs will have to be played at the wedding, "Faithful" or "Forever". And that leads to war. Gulliver is going to bring peace to this part of the world by making love win and by joining, merging, splicing them together. This rewriting is just charming but that's all. What makes that film unique is its date, 1939. That was a dream of this film maker to have peace in Europe, to bring together Hitler and Chamberlain, Freedom and Fascism like he was bringing Faithful and Forever together. A dream full of naïve peace-loving but also blind humanism. In 1939, due to all kinds of mistakes for at least twenty years the war had become inescapable, unavoidable. But it is always refreshing to go back to the great idea that peace is possible in this world provided we accept to respect the other and to look for a reasonable compromise. But what happens when such a reasonable compromise is no longer possible? We look for Weapons of Mass Destruction, of course.
