Antagony & Ecstasy - 7/10 by Tim BraytonRetains some scant measure of Swift's satiric intent, however distorted.
DVDJournal.com - 6/10 by Mark BourneFor a good number of fans, Bernard Herrmann's fine score is the chief appeal here.
User Review - 10/10 by Pierre LThey may have The Avengers, Star Wars, iPads, iPhones, Apple Macs, PCs, tablets.... But those of us in the early 1960s had the 3 Worlds of Gulliver, Jason and the Argonuats, Mysterious Island, and all the other wonderful creations by Ray Harryhausen. Boy, did we have great excitement that kids today with everything at their finger tips, may not understand. Packed out Saturday matinees, cheering crowds of kids, just pure magic that will rarely come again. Superb fantasy score by Bernard Herrmann.

User Review - 8/10 by Curtis MAnother entertaining Harryhausen flick, while not a spectacular excersize in acting or editing 'The 3 Worlds of Gulliver' has some cool harryhausen special effects, and never ceases to entertain. One more thing I feel needs mentioning about this film, is it's unique sense of humor. I'm sure it must come from the book it's based on (which I've never read) but there are some truly bizzarre moments that you just have to laugh at in the film. The little peoples war over whether to crack their eggs from the top or the bottom being a prime example. All in all, 'The 3 Worlds of Gulliver' is a nice morality story that should keep you entertained for the entire lenght of the film.

User Review - 8/10 by Matthew ASolid film contains way more imagination than the majority of the blockbusters today. Yes, Ray Harryhausen's special effects show their age as does the acting; however, The 3 Worlds of Gulliver is entertaining and sharp in its examination of humanity.
User Review - 8/10 by Phil HVery very loose adaptation of the famous Gulliver's Travels children's stories by Johnathan Swift. When I say loose I mean real loose as this film covers the first voyage of Gulliver and then parts of the second. It then ignores the remaining adventures completely and goes off on its own tangent. It seems pretty accurate for the most part of what its covering from the novel, of course a lot is missing and it seems much is added or altered. Not that it matters really as the stories are probably too much for one film and what we get is a delightful family film that can't fail to entertain. The whole atmosphere and style with along with quaint visuals remind me very much of 'Hans Christian Anderson' with Danny Kaye, bright, bold, colourful, very pleasing performances and a cheerful easy going approach. Speaking of performances I was surprised I really was, there is quite a bit of nice humour in this and when I say humour I don't mean kiddie laughs, I mean adults will giggle too. Its not heavy satire or rude but just nice amusing dialog that kinda leans towards Mel Brooks type material in places, but very easy going. The famous sequence where 'Gulliver' is tied down and being overlooked by 'Lilliput' officials is a really good humoured sequence with some nice chucklesome lines and visuals. Some really amusing bickering between characters and all played out really well by the cast. Also later on when 'Gulliver' is in the land of giants ('Brobdingnag') the casting for the King and his personal magician is again very good, especially the King who such a jolly fellow. Must also mention Kerwin Matthews as 'Gulliver' who is made to measure for his role (no pun intended...or maybe it was hmm), this part fits him like a glove and he's a likeable chap too which helps. No idea who all the actors are to be honest but they are all excellent I must say. As for good old Harryhausen...well despite this film being listed on his filmography there is little here from the great animator. Just an animated squirrel and alligator and that's it, both are great of course, the alligator being the better or more fun, but they are not seen for very long so. Sparse on Harryhausen stop motion I'm afraid. I don't really see the heavy satire and various themes which are known within the original stories. Probably because much of the original material is missing or cut down, 'Gulliver's' time in Lilliput does show small hints of political satire from the Lillipit Emperor, his regime and decisions but I think this is mainly meant to be a family film. I had some reservations about the film I must admit, thought it might be too tame and childish, but it turns out to be a lovely film with some outstanding visual size effects (although obvious in technique). Don't expect anything spectacular in terms of plot or ideas, the film is very basic and plays out like a bedtime story for children. But at the same time don't let that put you off because all the charming sets, perky characters and performances will make you smile.
User Review - 8/10 by Thomas KI've never read the original Gulliver's Travels, but every adaptation seems to be different. In this one, Gulliver is an unhappy poor doctor who wishes to go sailing and seek a fortune. His girlfriend Elizabeth stows away and they end up lost at sea. Gulliver finds himself in the strange land of Lilliput, and then Brobdignab the land of the Giants. It has a few cool moments spread throughout, with a great musical score. Kerwin Matthews and June Thorburn have good chemistry, and its a fun and breezy adventure film with some solid visual effects.
