Gulliver's Travels description Ebulliently imaginative and far more cleverly presented than you would expect from a TV miniseries, this satirical adventure succeeds by never pandering to the lowest common denominator. Closely based on Jonathan Swift's 1726 classic, it is enhanced by dazzling special effects from Jim Henson Productions and a superb, multi-ethnic cast. The biggest surprise is Ted Danson in the title role--one of his best performances, even if he is the only person in England without an accent. He conveys amusement, amazement, and intelligence as he travels from one strange country into another. Not that anyone back in Merry Old England believes Mr. Gulliver's tales of little people or giants. The story is told in flashback from an insane asylum, where he is forcibly confined. This far outshines several previous adaptations of Swift's satirical novel. --Rochelle O'Gorman |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | A very accurate and entertaining film! |
| As an English teacher, I was thrilled to find this version of the classic Swift story. Ted Danson and the rest of the cast deliver wonderful performances, and the special effects are amazing! The story truly comes to life in this version; because of its faithfulness to the book, it's perfect for students reading the story, and is an equally fun movie for anyone to simply enjoy. Highly recommended! | |
