Gulliver's Travels

1939 · 76 min

A charming, tuneful old-fashioned cartoon that feels like a storybook come to life, with gentle humor and a warm heart.

Tagline
The Amazing Characters in Jonathan Swift's Immortal Fantasy Come To Life !
Overview
Gulliver washes ashore on Lilliput and attempts to prevent war between that tiny kingdom and its equally-miniscule rival, Blefiscu, as well as smooth the way for the romance between the Princess and Prince of the opposing lands. In this he is alternately aided and hampered by the Lilliputian town crier and general fussbudget, Gabby. A life-threatening situation develops when the bumbling trio of Blefiscu spies, Sneak, Snoop, and Snitch, manage to steal Gulliver's pistol.
