Customer Reviews of Three Worlds of Gulliver
No Monsters But Still Watchable 3 Worlds of Gulliver has some pretty high expectations to meet being that special effects master Ray Harryhausen was involved. The master of stop motion model effects, Harryhausen was responsible for creating giant Cyclops, Medusas and battling skeletons in other films like "Jason and the Argonauts" and "7th Voyage of Sinbad". Unfortunately, "Gulliver" did not call for such a roster of memorable creatures. <

> Most of the effects have to deal with size, true to the novel by Jonathan Swift. Gulliver either occupies a world of giants, or a world where he is the giant. Harryhausen pulls off these sequences quite convincingly using minatures, over-sized props, or perspective shots with the "giants" closer to the camera than the "little people.". Nevertheless, there are a few stop motion monsters that are in line with Harryhausen's other works- a giant alligator for Gulliver to fight in the land of the giants, and a giant chipmunk sequence that makes for one of the films best scenes. Still and all, despite the shortage of stop motion monsters, Gulliver is harmless entertaining family fun. It is a well mounted production that still holds up today, and completes the collection for any Harryhausen fan.
Wonderful and witty film. . .
Ray Harryhausen, Kerwin Matthews and company do a fine job with Jonathan Swift's outrageous and scathing satire, and it's a film the whole family can enjoy (although wee ones may be a bit scared of the alligator and laugh at the squirrel). I have no problem with the fullframe presentation, although it would have been nice to see it in its original ratio, letterboxed. The transfer is fine and crisp, and Bernard Herrmann's delightful score is clear and full. As for the aspect ratio, originally it was in 1:85, which is pretty darn close to TV framing, so fullframe doesn't really hurt THE THREE WORLDS OF GULLIVER. The only Harryhausen film this would have been a problem with is FIRST MEN IN THE MOON, as that is his only film in 2:35 widescreen. Columbia does have their DVD edition of this film in its proper ratio. GULLIVER is just fine. Enjoy!
