Dr. Lemuel Gulliver finds himself trapped in the land of Lilliput which is occupied by tiny people and giants. Gulliver must navigate a series of indigenous events in the hope of returning home to England.
I cant say i was overly intersted in watching The 3 World's of Gulliver purely because of Jack Black's Gullivers Travels ruining it for me - I mean it was better than reviews indicate but still not great. The 3 World's of Gulliver is a little different though, premise wise it's obviously the same but the portrayal of the lead character and overall feel of the film is a lot more smart and generally family friendly. It's not that complicated to follow and it's fairly innocent, the acting isn't anything special but the special effects are well suited and still look pretty darn good for a film made in 1960! It moves at a leisurely pace but there are some slow spots usually when concerning the love story aspects.
Final Verdict: Innocent, fun and an easy watch. I liked it far more than I expected and it's better than Jack Black's film. The acting is a bit bland, story a bit simple and it has slow spots but the overall intrigue and the dated-but-fun special effects should keep you watching.
