With ground-breaking special effects by Jim Henson Productions, Gulliver's Travels is the story of an 18th century physician who journeys are something of legend - he towers over the tiny city of Lilliput, matches wits with a cunning sorcerer, and proves his mettle in a realm where horses rule and humans are beasts. Gulliver's Travels: Special Edition now presents the classic for the first time in widescreen picture and includes new bonus features including a "Making Of" segment and interviews with the cast.
