  Gulliver's Travels is a two-part TV mini-series and the best film adaptation the novel has ever had. It is so refreshing to see all four parts of the novel adapted because usually one the first part gets adapted and I personally feel each part gets better and better. In fact the final island of the talking horses and primitive men (yahoo's) is the first live or filmed staging of the story I've ever seen. Ted Danson was an odd choice but apparently the right choice as he proves more than capable of carrying the project on his shoulders. I loved the original idea of the stories being told in flashbacks as Gulliver retells (and often hallucinates) the wonderful lands he's explored. One of the better TV mini-series of some time.

  It jumped back and forth between the past and the present way too quickly. Just when you get involved in the story, it switches again. They did use parts from all four chapters of the book, though they rushed through most of them, even with a three hour running time. Ted Danson inexplicably doesn't have a British accent, which makes me question everything I know about life. Luckily Mary Steenburgen went overboard enough on HER whiny accent to cover the both of them.
