This Gulliver clearly sits at the vocal centre of a Venn diagram of Peck and Crosby.
Man I've never seen this adaptation. The rotoscope animation on Gulliver is really impressive for the time. Oh, but Craig, there IS a mini series adaptation of Gulliver's Travels that stars Ted Dansen that details the entire book and ALL the worlds.
I saw that as a kid! I liked that one! Wow, almost forgot about that. :)
@@mordaciousfilms I watch the crap strom that was the Jack Black movie and then Watched the Ted Dansen one. That is the best one. Plus it on TH-cam.
I remember seeing the Gulliver's Travels miniseries as a child back in the 90s and loving it.
In that he gets to be big, get's to be small, meets the horse people Craig mentions - Gulliver is played by Ted Danson
I loved that one! It got VERY dark, just like the books. Super hard to find a copy of these days. I had it on double VHS back in the day. It was a Hallmark production and I'm not sure its still in print anymore
My family checked this movie out of the library ALL THE TIME when I was a kid. It's pretty inoffensive entertainment.
Also, fun fact, Pinto Colvig (the voice of Gabby) is not only known as the original voice of Disney's Goofy, but was also the first Bozo the Clown.
P.S.: There was a miniseries version of Gulliver's Travels with Ted Danson as Gulliver where they include Brobdignag (the land of the giants), the Houyhnhnm (horse people) & Yahoos, and it's pretty much the most complete adaptation of the book to date.
I am so glad the Ted Danson Gulliver's Travels wasn't a fever dream I had
“More Gulliver sized people shall follow” I wanna see that sequel
Been having a shitty day laid up in bed with pain then got the notification for a new WTTB and it's got me laughing and feeling better. Thank you both for this show. I love learning about movies and acting from you.
when ppl say medcine...they usally mean something else
meth. to them its medicine.
This is exactly the type of movie my parents or grandparents would have us kids watch while they played dominoes in the other room.
This really isn't the Fleischers fault. When they finally received the go ahead to make a feature length animated film the studio gave them the caveat that it had to be as similar to Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs as possible which really stymied their creativity. I'm sure if they had been left to their own devices they could've made something great.
If you're looking for some good shorts to watch at the yearend episode I highly recommend their Superman cartoons. Those cartoons well earn the Fleischers their spot in the animation hall of fame.
For my money, the best version of Gulliver's Travels is the 1996 miniseries starring Ted Danson and covered all the travels.
It’s really the only version that really adapts the book
Now we just need Mr Bug Goes to Town and the Fleischer feature filmography is complete.
I watched this a thousand times as a kid. Hap-Hap-Happy Day and All's Well have stuck with me forever. I'm so incredibly happy that you guys stumbled on this movie!
All's Well guaranteed to get stuck in your head.
And here I thought my sister and I were the only non-boomers who ever watched this. I loved this. Especially the music.
matt it kills me when you do the looney tunes vulture ... too too funny xD
Apparently, Blue Velvet was Dennis Hopper's return to acting after being blown out on drugs, which makes his performance that much more compelling to me. It was probably cathartic for him, too.
Craig’s wit is admirable.
One of my new favourite cold opens. Thanks again gang. I love love love this show.
After all these years it finally comes out Matt has been using Tona for her 1 degree of separation.
Not sure if you still look in the comments for Seen It, but Monster Squad. Seen it?
It is without a doubt my all time favorite movie. The most underrated movie from the 80s.
Holy crap I haven't seen this movie since I was maybe three years old and it all came right back.
This made me so warm and happy. My family had a VHS of this in the 90's. My sister and I watched it all the time. It's okay to not like Gabby. haha I was waiting for you guys to react to him. My new head cannon is Gulliver as Gregory Peck. XD
Gulliver's Thunder Machine is the name of my prog-synth-edm band.
Rick Springfield! Star of late night syndication's "High Tide", along with Yannick Bisson as his younger brother, playing surf bums with a side hustle as private detectives to earn a living. That brings back memories of when I was unemployed for a while in the 1990s.
I just realized that through David Fincher, Tona is only two degrees of seperation from Madonna, George Michael, and Michael Jackson.
I actually loved this movie as a kid lol
Myyy Myyy Myyy!
Speaking of Gulliver's Travels. Seen it? Jack Black's Gulliver's Travels? Uuuuuuuuuugggghhhh. "Face palm"
Well, no one seems to have mentioned it yet - so, seems it's up to me. Here goes:
Ray Harryhausen, master of stop-motion animation and the guiding hand behind such fantasy classics as *The 7th Voyage of Sinbad* (1958), *The Golden Voyage of Sinbad* (1974) and *Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger* (1977), delved into the misadventures of that other literary seafarer in Jack Sher's *The Three Worlds of Gulliver* (1960), which sees him through his experiences as both moving mountain and living action-figure. If you can stomach early 60's family fare of the Disney-like stripe, it's a clever charmer. Star Kerwin Mathews doesn't act fit to make his way out of a paper bag, but he looks the part - and really, that's all that matters in this version. ☺️
Blues Brothers is goddamn amazing
I really enjoyed this film as a kid, but if you want a more faithful adaptation of the book you guys should watch the 1996 miniseries that starred Ted Danson as Gulliver. I was obsessed with it as a kid and from what I recall they did cover the whole story.
Wow my brain completely mixed this one up with The King and the Mockingbird, must have seen them around the same time when I was a kid. Recently rewatched that one so this helps parse out why I was like "something feels like it's missing" during the rewatch lol
Love the continuity snafus in the first two minutes regarding Matt's glasses. I had thought all 27 (or 42) episodes of each season were shot in one day, in one take, and Matt took 12 months to edit them. Like My Three Sons.
I work at an English language cram school for young children in Taiwan, and part of their curriculum is based on well-known English stories, including Gulliver's time in Lilliput. After my students read it, I show them the civil engineering scene, and they love it to pieces--but I stopped showing any other part of the movie because they can't understand a word any of the characters say.
Except Gulliver.
Because he talks so slow even they make fun of him.
Talk about Odd Man Out!! (Or have you, I'd love to hear you talk about it.) I love that movie so much and it's so criminally overlooked. :(
16:40
It might surprise and (hopefully) please you to know that early cinematic wizard George Méliès actually did film a very short version of *Gulliver's Travels* in the 1900's, with (a surprisingly old) Gulliver in both Lilliput and Brobdingrag (about 2 mins. in each land). 🙃
Lads if your looking for good Gulliver's travels adaptation. Watch the ted danson one made in 90s. Save me reading the book.
There has never been an episode of yours that I didn't laugh out loud
Wauw, didn't know it could take little to no effort.
There is a Russian version from 1935, which is a combination of live action, pixelation, and stop motion puppetry
What?! I read the book cover to cover and then read it again!
(Formerly 'Name of the Rose') I just watched Ride the Pink Horse and I don't recall Odd Man Out but I feel like this would be a good, unexpected double feature with Lost In Translation!
I'll never watch that music video the same way again.
For just a minute I thought this was going to be the Jack Black movie. I forgot it was cartoon June.
The Vast of Night was pretty great other then the very end I wish it was a little different.
The horse people and yahoos were the same island. They also missed Gulliver urinating on the Lilliputian castle to put out a fire
That song Gabby sings sounds a lot like “Starman”
I didn't see anyone mention it. But the Ted Danson TV movies parter has all four travels.
Have you heard about the massive moving sculpture proposed to celebrate the birth place of Gulliver's travels? They can put your face on it to create the largest ever selfie.
jack black did it. it was entertaining. it was a a good jack black movie. now if you ask me of my opinion....i'd have to quote myself. "it was a good jack black movie"
I think King Little was voiced by Jack Nercer, the voice of Popeye.
I think it could have been a play... Use puppets for the little people
In the book, Gulliver pees on a fire to put it out.
Is his calling the Phantom Zone the "Neutral Zone" an old bit I'm missing? Because I've seen him do that more than once.
3:45 They Took My Lucky Charms Away and now i have to do this movie as community service.
4:05 Gulliver has some nice clean fingernails
4:45 I Thought Matt Said Princess David sorry about that
5:08 Mr Monopoly?
6:03 I Hope That's a Sword?
7:50 Oh My God they killed the Animaniacs those little bastards!
9:39 The Buzzard from Looney Tunes
10:07 Moe,Larry,and Curly
Listening to the movie clips, is it just me, or do some of the sound effects sound ultra loud and clear in comparison to the rest of the movie? As if on this particular print/DVD, modern sound effects were added in later? (It just seems to me like some of the effects sound like they're in clear stereo, while other parts sound like the old-timey mono channel.)
I'm going to keep trying:
Seen it - The Art of Self Defense
and.. basement/music/film/neat shit collection tour. 😘
Firstly, have either of you seen The Enemy Below. It is one of my favorite cat and mouse stories.
Secondly, Matt I hope this video helps to clear up some confusion on Macguffins: th-cam.com/video/_HcZluK6vxg/w-d-xo.html
ohh yeah George II again a eufimism on his small member
Lilliputians built the Pyramid's, give'em a little more R.E.S.P.E.C.T. 🙈🙉🙊
As if Gabby the town crier wasn'r annoying enough it this picture, They give hims his own series, which you can see on TH-cam if you want.
you meant the phantom zone
No I meant the neutral zone. The part of space that the Federation isn't allowed to enter because it's controlled by the Romulans.
@@blamesocietyfilms........ which is inside a watch....?
@7:41 found the romulan
I really found the voice of this Gulliver disturbing. If Dean Martin was on weed.
I encourage you to see the Ted Danson version made in 1996.
Have you guys seen the darkest comedy of all time, "Happiness"? I love it, but it's definitely not for everyone.
it's part of the "Seen It?" from the Miami Connection episode
I can make my 6 degree of separation chain from me to either Robert Rodríguez and /or Quentin Tarantino.
What is the album in the background?
All Singing, All Talking, All Rocking (a compilation released by Warner in the late 70s)
I was really hoping this was going to be the Jack Black version because it's horrible hahahaha
that WAS belushi who did those back flips
he really COULD do that
the cartwheel he does at the big concert, he needed a cortizone shot in his knee because he injured it days earlier on a skateboard
surprised by the lack of commentary on the animation style. it looks very odd to me, almost CG from the clips shown here. The scenes with Gulliver look nothing like Disney or other animation styles I've seen
rotoscoping. Fleischer was a fan.
@@sloth0jr Not just a fan; Famous Studios _invented_ the process.
This movie tried to be Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Matt, you're a far greater editor that most of us could ever be, but I thought you were a little quiet in this episode. Craig's mic picked him up better.
Whenever this movie came on when I was a kid, it was horrendously dull. The miniseries in 1996 (without cartoons) was much better.
REEEEEALLY hope you guys give Mobile Suit Gundam: The movie a try, or at least talk about it on scene it if you have seen it already.
Does Gulliver “have sex with a hill?”
no way there would enough cloth or wood for him - way too big
I found Mad Max Fury Road boring. Next to nothing in that movie excites me and it failed to involve me in almost any way. Different people might find different things boring. So I understand Emily when she writes about how Blues Brothers is boring to her, although I myself love the movie and don't think it's boring (its has comedy and music to fill in the holes). Different strokes for different folks. ;)
Disney has spoiled me so much, I don't think I would've been able to stand watching those annoying liliput people if not for the commentary.
I wholeheartely disagree with your take.
What are some of the worst film titles you remember? As mentioned previously on the show Bitter Rice is an absolutely terrible name
I just can't enjoy "dark" endings. Which is a shame as I loved everything else about THE VAST OF NIGHT.
