Er freundet sich mit den nur wenige Zentimeter kleinen Menschen an und hilft ihnen, die Feinde zu vernichten. Seine nchste Reise verschlgt ihn nach Brobdingnag, wo er von gewaltigen Riesen gefangen wird. Er ist jetzt das "Spielzeug" der Königin. Es gelingt ihm jedoch zu fliehen. Aber plötzlich versperrt ein riesiger Alligator seinen Weg. Ein schier aussichtsloser Kampf beginnt. (Verleiher-Text)

It's a shame that there are so few reviews here, because this is really well done, with top-notch work by visual effects genius Ray Harryhausen. His optical tricks are so good that I never once doubted the quality of the effects in the entire film (okay, maybe the giant squirrel is a little weaker). The slogan on the poster almost doesn't lie, for its time it really was "nothing less, than a miracle in motion pictures". The script departs quite a bit from Swift's original, covering only the worlds of the Lilliputians and the giants, but thanks to being so condensed, the plot moves very quickly and there’s no danger of boredom. The clever dialogues are also a plus, Gulliver occasionally spews out a very funny line, it's only a pity that the ending was rushed (budget problems?). Of course, a must-see for lovers of Harryhausen's work!

I'm giving it the top rating, even though the film itself might not entirely deserve it, given the sometimes overly naive plot, but the special effects are incredible. Ray Harryhausen proves with this film that he was a master, not just of animation, but especially of blending shots and creating beautiful illusions. If today's filmmakers put in a bit of effort like this, I'd enjoy movies much more than with CGI orgies we always get. Ray was a genius and here he proves it again. The fight with the crocodile is sensational.
