inhabited by little people whose height makes their quarrels over fashion and fame seem ridiculous. His subsequent encounters - with the crude giants of Brobdingnag the philosophical Houyhnhnms and brutish Yahoos - give Gulliver new bitter insights into human behaviour. Swift's savage satire views mankind in a distorted hall of mirrors as a diminished magnified and finally bestial species presenting us with an uncompromising reflection of ourselves.

and its equally-miniscule rival, Blefiscu, as well as smooth the way for the romance between the Princess and the Prince of the opposing lands. In this he is alternately aided and hampered by the Lilliputian town crier and general fussbudget, Gabby. A life-threatening situation develops when the bumbling trio of Blefiscu spies, Sneak, Snoop, and Snitch, manage to steal Gulliver's pistol.
Advantages: Fine acting, good special effects Disadvantages: Lack of DVD special features
A made for TV film adaptation of one of the classic novels of English Literature starring an American sit com star?time to switch off? Well you might have thought such a premise was bound to fail but in fact this adaptation isn?t that bad?.
Gulliver?sTravels is one of those books that everyone knows (or think they do) but I suspect very few have read. Some might have seen animated versions dealing with Gulliver?stravels to Lilliput but this is only part of the story. This adaptation produced by Channel 4 is actually quite accurate to the book and includes all the adventures that are mostly forgotten. There is a subplot or more accurately an overplot that is doesn't appear in the original book but aids the narrative of the TV adaptation but in terms of the details of the events this is probably the most faithful adaptation made so ...
Advantages: Great fun, great mix of live action & animation, All-star cast Disadvantages: Your kids will keep asking for it to be put on
Frank of his "cold". Desperate to prove himself, Jones manages to get himself partnered with Drix - voiced by David Hyde Pierce - and finds himself on a mission to save Frank from a disease nobody believes exists.
In this modern world of animated box office successes, it is refreshing to see Osmosis Jones isn't produced by the market leaders, Pixar or Dreamworks. Instead, Warner Bros. have produced a film that takes a perfect mix of liveaction and strong animation and creates a captivating movie for children and adults alike.
Unlike other liveaction / animation mixes such as "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" or "The Looney Tunes Movie", Osmosis Jones keeps the liveaction and animated characters completely separate while at the same time intertwining their stories captivatingly well.
Bill Murray plays the grossly incompetent Frank ...
Advantages: Very funny in places, decent storyline, great for kids Disadvantages: The songs!!! Aaaauuuurrrrrggghhhh!!!!!
Gulliver's Travels is, as I am sure you already know, an all-time classic novel by Jonathon Swift, and is one of the sharpest satirical novels ever written. There have been many film / TV versions, few of which have adhered closely to the original storyline. On a compilation we got recently for a bargain basement price, I came across this version. As far as following Swift's overall storyline goes you can forget it, but that doesn't stop it from being an enjoyable film.
Featuring Richard Harris (the few other actors in the film have such short parts that they're really not worth mentioning), who kids may recognise from the recent Harry Potter films, this version of Gulliver's Travels is notable for being one of the first films to ever mix liveaction and animation. The storyline revolves almost entirely around Gulliver's adventures ...
