Gullivers Travels (1939) Restored HD

Gulliver's Travels is a 1939 American cel-animated Technicolor feature film, directed by Dave Fleischer and produced by Max Fleischer for Fleischer Studios. The film was released on Friday, December 22, 1939 by Paramount Pictures, who had the feature produced as an answer to the success of Walt Disney's box-office hit Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The sequences for the film were directed by Seymour Kneitel, Willard Bowsky, Tom Palmer, Grim Natwick, William Henning, Roland Crandall, Thomas Johnson, Robert Leffingwell, Frank Kelling, Winfield Hoskins, and Orestes Calpini.
Gulliver was the second cel-animated feature film ever released, and the first produced by an American studio other than Walt Disney Productions. The story is based upon the Lilliputian adventures of Gulliver depicted in Jonathan Swift's 18th century novel Gulliver's Travels.

I remember seeing this back in the early 1960's and I fell in love with this movie and with the songs and the people of "Liliput".

1:12:22 Gulliver: (upon coming to the rescue of Prince David of Blefuscu in favor of him and that of his lover Princess Glory of Lilliput in order to intervene and stop both the Lilliputians and the Blefuscuans from fighting each other over something as simple as their wedding songs looks down at the little people before him while safely holding in his hand Prince David completely disappointed in both sides for their warring behavior against each other) ‘poor, poor foolish little people, look what you’ve done.’ (Sternly) ‘now go ahead, break your nutshell heads over your songs.’ (Making the little people the Lilliputians and the Blefuscuans wince in shock and understanding to their own collective faults) 😒😔 (to King Little III) ‘but did you have to break Glory’s heart, King Little, because you’re thoughtless and selfish?’ (To King Bombo) ‘and you, Bombo, O mighty warrior, what have YOU won? You were too stubborn to think, too busy quarreling to lend ear to the harmony that might have been yours.’ (Giving a knowing wink) ‘but now in your sorrow and despair, perhaps you’ll listen to your songs as they might be sung.’

When I was a child I had the videotape of this cartoon (in italian). It was my favourite cartoon, I've watched it so many times!

A excellent children's take on the novel it is loosely based off of. Such an awesome movie. Completely revolutionary and entertaining. And to top it off it was COLOR! From 1939!
