Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Gulliver washes ashore on Lilliput and attempts to prevent war between that tiny kingdom and its equally minuscule rival, Blefuscu, as well as smooth the way for the romance between the Princess and Prince of the opposing lands. In this he is alternately aided and hampered by the Lilliputian town crier and general fussbudget, Gabby. A life-threatening situation develops when the bumbling trio of Blefuscu spies, Sneak, Snoop, and Snitch, manage to steal Gulliver's pistol.

| Goofs | When Gulliver is at the sea side after he tucks King Little and the others in at the table, a lighthouse can be seen 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. See more » |
