Plot
Georges Méliès' adaptation of Jonathan Swift's "Gulliver's Travels" is most distinguished, today, for being a color film of the classic story. Color was rare in 1902 (and many years after) as non-tinted color has to be hand painted on the film; this was an arduous task.
Sinekatalog’s take
Méliès brings Swift's satire to the screen with hand-painted colour and trick photography. A fanciful early fantasy valued as much for its technical ambition as its storytelling.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
