    Found this obscure classic on a wastemarket. While it lacks the polish and quality voiceovers due to the discipline of animation being in its early stages, it is nevertheless a tender and cute little movie, especially for children due to its fine music and quirky, if not over-the...( read more)-top animations. Of course, the movie owns its biggest strength to Jonathan Swift who penned the book on which this movie is based upon, however, the movie only deals with Gulliver's adventure on the island if Lillipunt, which is populated by tiny people. While the movie may look a bit weird to the eyes of those who are used to the merits of Disney animation it is nevertheless a good history lession of American cinema. Hence, some might even find it refreshingly different from Disney films (althoigh the movie strongly resembles other early non-Disney animation endeavours).

    On another note, and this might be of interest to people who are into "Waking Life" or "A Scanner darkly" by Richard Linklater, the protaganist (Gulliver) was animated using the same rotoscope technique, painting over the performance of an actual actor.(Go here for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotoscoping)


    Recommended to fans of animation history and general admireres of the art

    Maybe I'm not giving it a fair rating since I haven't watched it since I was young but I know I didn't like it that much when I was younger.
