The Amazing Characters in Jonathan Swift's Immortal Fantasy Come To Life !
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.

Max & Save Fleischer's animations were rarely considered favourably when it came to comparisons with Disney - and, certainly his drawings lacked a degree of detail and vivacity, but this is still an engaging and enjoyable telling of a good story. It has humour, a few "Hap Hap Happy" songs and some decently underplayed moralising (Disney wasn't always so good at at disguising his moral imperatives), and the voice talents of Sam Parker, and the two kings Jack Mercer and Todd Pierce all keep this e
