VHS : Gulliver's Travels [1996] .
Rating: 
- We love Liliput, not Brobdingnag ...
Because Gulliver is not only a story for little children, but at the same time a very ironical satire on social conditions, also adult viewers will find their pleasure. Who has a little insight into a psychological point of view, will moreover discover, that in the gigantic Gulliver, with whom the childlike spectator of course identifies himself at the first meeting, - that this Gulliver helps to become resistant against every nasty surroundings, which will happen to us in our lifetime, using a fantasy-based, satirical technique of making bad things small and unimportant! Swift gives a therapeutically example for children (always being the smaller ones, helpless, powerless at the lower rank of the social influence scale) how to make a wonderful reversal of the everyday fright. The Gulliver shape reconciles to the powerlessness feelings of the childhood. When Jonathan Swift wrote this story, the situation of childhood in Europe was substantially worse than today. Gulliver's journey to the country of the dwarves (Liliput) is the favorite story. But the other one, his journey to the giants in the land "Brobdingnag" is more unloved. Many small "Liliput"-towns are built for tourists - but you cannot find any "Brobdingnag"-town, where you have the chance to feel small and surpressed. All in all: Swift has (like a more mocking Homer) created a bold parody on the old Greek "Odyssey". Of course this is a great challenge to movie-makers, but Charles Sturridge has managed this problem - using famous actors and a not too small budget ...
Rating: - masterpiece.
this really is a fantastic production. Danson really performs the role well. I really can't recommend this more, for children and parents alike.
Rating: - Gullivers travels ted danson
Fantastic film,great acting by ted danson.
All the other actors and background actors did a great job to make this film what it is, even (look for jim from eastenders )....a lot of film for so little money.
even the 2 guards looking after gulliver did a great job,
well I should know, I was one of them.
Buy it, watch it, the kids and you will enjoy it.
