Trivia
This was the first animated film in which any actor's voice is credited. Disney did not give screen credit to any of the actors who voiced the characters in their animated films.

Goofs
When Gulliver is at the sea side after he tucks King Little and the others in at the table, you can see a lighthouse to his left. He sits up and puts the lighthouse on his right. All the time Gulliver is seen from the front the lighthouse is there, but when it's moved to a shot from behind him at the end of the scene, the lighthouse disappears completely.

Quotes

Alternate versions
Many early UK video prints do not include the scene where Gabby and the townsfolk are standing on a sleeping Gulliver's chest, unaware of their situation and puzzled as to where he has gone. There are also some badly edited UK video prints which run at about 60 minutes.

Lyrics by Leo Robin

My mother broght this for me on VHS when I was around six or seven years old.

I watched it so much I wore the tape out.

While shopping in the grocery store last week I happened upon this classic on DVD. I thought this would be a great way to let my children watch something that I used to watch as a tyke.

They loved it.

And I even at 27 years old found myself watching it with the same enthusiasm as I did when I was but a mere pup.

beatufil animation even in the computer age.

Rivals anything done today.
