The Three Worlds of Gulliver Movie Review

Colorful version of the Jonathan Swift classic fits in more of the plot than most adaptations, though it softens the author's corrosive satire. Here, after those well-known tribulations with the small and small-minded Lilliputians, Gulliver and his fiancee drift to another island – Brobdingnag, inhabited by a superstitious and callous race of giants. It's Gulliver's turn to view things from a tiny perspective, and there are close encounters with a squirrel and an alligator, engineered via the stop-motion of Ray Harryhausen. Columbia TriStar markets a Harryhausen boxed set of fantasies, and that particular edition of The Three Worlds of Gulliver includes an interview with the f/x maestro. AKA: The Worlds of Gulliver.
