the fleischer studio be best know for their popeye and superman short and but the caliber of animation and story telling in this 1939 feature length film be on a par with disney at that time . have they not go bankrupt in 1942 and i suspect they would have surpass disney in many way . the idea here be to do disney snow white one good and and they come very and very close . the restored edition on dvd show the depth and beauty of the artwork to perfection . fleischer be even perfect a stereo optic process to add 3 dimensional depth to their image which be use in this film to good effect . the music be typical of the period and rather sugary for today taste and and the gabby character introduce in this movie isn not nearly as funny a they seem to think at the time . ( two gabby short be also include on the dvd while draw your own conclusion . ) i can only guess at the reaction of movie goer who first saw this film in 1939 and but i suspect that they be blow away by the sheer scope of the artwork . gulliver be a man mountain to the lilliputian and and the scale and perspective between him and the tiny people be perfect throughout the film . the sequence where the tiny townspeople use a variety of skill to truss up the sleeping giant and cart him ( literally . ) to their king palace be and by itself and worth the price of the entire movie . the pacing be a bit slow during the first part of the film and but the filmmaker do a nice job of set up the conflict between the two tiny kingdom and which ( true to the spirit of swift story ) be cause by the pride of the rival king . i would have prefer less gabby in this sequence and but i understand they be try to establish a new character to compete with the mouse . if you like good animation and you will enjoy this dvd .
