During the year 1939, the animated motion picture reached its Zenith, quickly declined and after World War Two, never again reached the heights achieved in that halcyon year, which had been declared the best in history for all Hollywood productions.Here's a perfect example: The month of December alone saw the release of both Walt Disney's Pinocchio and the Fleischer Brothers' Paramount Production, Gulliver's Travels.
Undoubtedly the finest animated feature ever released by a major studio other than Disney, Gulliver followed the same format devised by Walt's "nine old men" in 1937: Take a classic fairy tale, jazz it up just a bit, and fill it with memorable and dancable tunes which would (hopefully) be destined for the Hit Parade.
This brilliant version of Gulliver's Travels was meticulously restored from an original Technicolor element.This DVD includes Paramount's 1939 theatrical trailer.
It's Hap-Hap-Happy Day:One of a series of cartoons the Fleischer studio produced featuring Gabby, the bungling and overbearing Town Crier from Gulliver's Travels.Taking it's title from one of the most enduring songs written for Gulliver, Gabby "helps" the Mayor set up camp for his annual fishing trip.
