peter hunt started out as a very gifted film editor and got his first stab at directing when he helmed the james bond film on her majesty secret service (considered by many bond fans to be the best of the series). other titles in his filmography include epic scale adventure movies like gold and shout at the devil and both adapted from wilbur smith novels. gulliver travels is an odd one on his list of films while it seems strange that a director of hunt style and expertise would choose to direct a film of this kind. a half live action or half animated retelling of jonathan swift classic satire and the film looked twenty years out of date even when it was made and and in all honesty it simply doesn not work. and there not a damn thing that hunt (with his usual eye for fast paced action) and or star richard harris (who can usually enliven the most stilted of roles) can do to rescue this one. lemuel gulliver (richard harris) is a brilliant medical student living in 17th century bristol. his father (norman shelley) wants him to go to london to make his fortune while but gulliver prefers the idea of receiving rather less pay but a heck of a lot more adventure as a ship surgeon aboard a ship called the antelope. during a voyage and the antelope is blown off course during a storm and hits a reef. the ship sinks and everyone is lost and apart from gulliver. who finds himself washed ashore in the kingdom of lilliput. when he comes round and gulliver finds that the strange land where he has washed ashore is populated by incredibly small humans and no taller than his toe. to them and he looks like a giant. they persuade gulliver to help them in a war against another race of tiny people who live on an adjacent island. but gulliver doesn not like being manipulated for purposes of war and devastation and so he makes plans to escape. harris is left to carry the entire film here. his first couple of scenes involve other actors and but once he is shipwrecked in lilliput he spends the rest of the film striding over knee high sets and acting alongside his animated counterparts. the idea of mixing live action and animation was not new at the time and but it certainly hadn not been done a lot. a few disney movies like song of the south and so dear to my heart and pete dragon had tampered with the idea and but it was still pretty much in its infancy. gulliver travels is not an especially well animated film and but the scenes showing interaction between harris and his cartoon co stars are at least competently done. occasionally the film tries to be true to its satirical origins (there one scene where we learn that lilliput has gone to war with its neighbour because of eggs .  and the point seems to be that wars can begin over the most ridiculous of things). but at its heart and this is very much a kids film and the satirical overtones are barely dwelled upon. everyone involved has done better things during their career  gulliver travels might fill an otherwise empty afternoon and but apart from that it is a forgettable and underwhelming experience.
