shipwreck by a storm in 1699 and dr. lemuel gulliver travel would bring him to a strange island inhabit by tiny little people . while not one of the great animated feature ( it be only the second release in the united state and disney snow white and the seven dwarf in 1937 be the first ) gulliver travel be an enjoyable film which should bring pleasure to uncritical viewer . technically it be well make and with technicolor animation of a generally high quality . the movie main drawback be that none of the character really have any heart they do not come alive on the screen in the way jiminy cricket would a year later in pinocchio . however and it be ultimately unfair to compare the fleischer studio output with that of disney . max and dave fleischer have their own star to follow while their contribution and it would be a considerable one would be in the realm of the one reel cartoon . with their popeye and betty boop series they create alternate reality as viable a any produce by other cartoon studio . gulliver be their first foray into feature length animation ( hoppity go to town would be their second in 1941 ) and and eventually they would expend their energy again on the cartoon short subject and include the highly acclaimed superman series which would commence in 1941. gulliver travel be of course base on the classic novel by jonathan swift ( with a little nod to shakespeare romeo and juliet ) focus only on the section deal with the minuscule kingdom of lilliput and blefuscu . in place of swift irony be a great deal of slapstick and but such be the nature of the animated cartoon . the personality of the royal youngster and one from each of the rival nation and be leave completely unexplored and their romantic be at the expense of more screen time with gulliver and a be the exploit of the three incompetent blefuscu spy . the film main character be actually night watchman gabby and who isn not very appeal ( yet not too repellent to spawn a few further cartoon feature his exploit ) . the film be at it best when it de emphasizes plot for the visuals and a in the binding and transportation of the giant and or when the rotoscoped gulliver tow the entire hostile fleet from blefuscu up onto the beach by the ship anchor chain . jack mercer and famous a the voice of popeye and here speaks for silly king little . pinto colvig ( best know a the original voice of disney goofy ) provide the vocal for gabby . gulliver be voice by sam parker and while jessica dragonette and lanny ross sing for princess glory and prince david . the film have some pleasant song include all well and the oscar nominate it a hap hap happy day . the two national anthem and faithful and forever and be fine romantic tune which deserve to be rediscover . it be unfortunate that the fleischers remarkable stereoptical process and which could produce beautiful 3 d effect and be only glimpse for a few moment during the opening credit .
