Gulliver's Travels 1939 film

Gulliver's Travels 1939 film

Based on the novel by Jonathan Swift, Gullivers Travels enchants children and adults alike on a magic adventure through the fantasy land of Lilliput with its hero Lemuel Gulliver.



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.

Gulliver was the second cel-animated feature film ever released, and the first produced by an American studio other than Walt Disney Productions.

Gullivers Travels is one of the finest animated features ever made; and fans of classic animation will marvel at the beauty of this film, where each animation cell had to be drawn and painted by hand.
