Gullivers Travels Best Version Animated Family 2 Oscar Nominations.
Nominated for 2 Academy Awards! Gulliver washes ashore on Lilliput and attempts to prevent war between that tiny kingdom and its equally-minuscule 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.
1939 Hollywood Classic
Directors: Dave Fleischer
Stars: Sam Parker, Pinto Colvig, Jack Mercer
Trivia:
The film takes place in 1699.
The Gulliver's Travels score by Victor Young was nominated for a Best Original Score Academy Award while the song "Faithful/Forever" was nominated for Best Original Song, but both of them lost out to The Wizard of Oz with the film winning the latter category for the song "Over the Rainbow". "It's a Hap-Hap-Happy Day" and "All's Well" later became standard themes used for Fleischer and Famous Studios cartoon scores, while "I Hear a Dream" was quite popular as well.
The character of Gulliver was "rotoscoped"--a method devised by the Fleischers where the drawing was achieved by tracing over the movements of a live actor.
A cel-animated Technicolor musical feature film produced by Max Fleischer and directed by Dave Fleischer for Fleischer Studios. Released to cinemas in the United States on December 22, 1939, by Paramount Pictures, the story is a very loose adaptation of Jonathan Swift's 1726 novel of the same name, specifically only the first part of four, which tells the story of Lilliput and Blefuscu, and centers around an explorer who helps a small kingdom who declared war after an argument over a wedding song.
