Humble médecin dans une petite ville d’Angleterre, Gulliver rêve de découvrir le vaste monde. Quand, enfin, il peut le faire en embarquant sur un bateau à destination des Indes, une tempête le jette par dessus bord. Quand il se réveille, c’est dans un étrange royaume, Lilliput, dont les habitants sont si petits qu’il pourrait leur marcher dessus. Petits, mais toujours prêts à en découdre avec leurs voisins de Blefuscu... (Sidonis Calysta)

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.

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!
