Historic Animation
Max and Dave Fleischer's first full-length cartoon represents an admirable alternative to Disney, but is terribly uneven. "Gulliver's Travels" (1939) has some memorable sequences that cry for a tighter script and stronger characters. Regardless of its flaws, the Technicolor production is wonderful to look at - while the songs are relatively pleasant. The Fleischers would fare better with their second animated feature: the criminally underrated "Hoppity Goes to Town" (1941).

THE ONE TO GET - BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED!
When they say "restored" they're telling the truth. I've never seen such a clear print, in excellent color, and very good sound too. The whole package is in a class by itself; The is not a "public domain" sleazy company - An ENORMOUS amount of work & care (and dare I say love?) went into this restoration. The price is the frosting on the cake, well worth thrice the price!!! Search no more, you've found GULLIVER'S TRAVELS in it's BEST AVAILABLE version!

Gulliver's Travels
This is timeless. I believe it should be in all family libraries. It will always be safe to show to all age groups.

Innocent Pleasure.
I watched this with a 3 year old whose mother is very particular about what he watches, (absolutely no violence), and he loved it. It really is magical for innocent little ones. The songs are kind of cute when you watch them with someone so completely uncynical. He was captivated and told me what a great movie it was. After we watched it we went to a bookshop and bought the book, so it has stimulated an interest in literature as well. I recommend this one wholeheartedly for little kids, especially ones not ruined by too much TV. Or maybe you could use it as an antidote for much of the nasty "children's" product available now.

This is definitely the version to get.
I've read that other versions of this dvd have omitted scenes for some weird reason. One scene in particular that was left out of the other version was the "All's well" song sung by gabby.

This version has it all, the picture quality is absolutely stunning. I own a VHS copy of this movie and i can't believe how beautiful this version looks. I'm seeing things on film i've never seen before. Another great feature of this dvd is the sound format. They offer several different sound formats, you can watch the movie with enhanced sound features, or just watch it with the original soundtrack, there are others i just can't remember.

Yes it has no subtitles, but i think you can live without subtitles. I'd rather have a complete movie without subtitles, than a movie that's been shortened with subtitles.

They also have some cool bonus features such as two Gabby episodes, showing you the cleaning up process of old fleischer films, and also how the old school fleischer films were made.

All in all for roughly 10 bucks, you're getting a great deal.
