The Amazing Characters in Jonathan Swift's Immortal Fantasy Come To Life !

Overview

Gulliver washes ashore on Lilliput and attempts to prevent war between that tiny kingdom and its equally-miniscule rival, Blefiscu, as well as smooth the way for the romance between the Princess and 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.

This is a charmingly told animated version of Jonathan Swift's giant man, shipwrecked onto an island populated by people the size of his thumb. This focuses on the first of his adventures - in the land of "Lilliput", and of his efforts to join this community where he eats the same in a meal as they do in a week. Luckily, their big pal has his uses - not least in dealing with the neighbouring, slightly warlike, kingdom of "Blefescu" - but all that might change when some enemy spies manage to get their hands on his pistol! Can he retrieve it, and re-set the path of true love for the young Prince... read the rest.
