This is an amusing musical adventure movie based on the classic novel about the adventures of Gulliver , an English sailor who is washed ashore in the land of Liliput . Adequate and spectacular art direction in animation style with spectacular and fantastic scenarios . Made and issued as an answer to Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Sentimental and evocative score by Victor Young , including a large number of maudlin songs . Professional though uneven direction by Max and Dave Fleischer Studio's , resulting to be just so-so and really average rendition loosely based of the famous Jonathan Swift satire . Rating : 5.5/10 .
