Gulliver's Travels Beyond the Moon Gulliver's Travels Beyond the Moon , also known as Space Gulliver, is a 1965 Japanese animated feature that was released in Japan on March 20, 1965 and in the United States on July 23, 1966. This was one of the first Toei animated features to depart from Asian mythology, though, like Toei's previous animated features, it is modeled after the Disney formula of animated musical feature. By borrowing elements from Hans Christian Andersen, Jonathan Swift and science fiction, it was hoped that this film would attract a large international audience. However it proved to be no more popular than Toei's

Siegmund Lubin also advertised a "Gulliver's Travels" film in 1903; this may have been an attempt by Lubin to ride on the popularity of Méliès's version. In 1988, Jean-Pierre Mocky directed "Gulliver", a three-minute remake of Méliès's film, as part of the TF1 television program "Méliès 88". At the time, the film was one of 158 Méliès films presumed lost, but for which written scenarios survived; Mocky based his remake on Méliès's original scenario, but used a style and tone markedly different from Méliès's works. A stencil-colored print of the film is held at the Cineteca di Milano.
