Gulliver's Travels Among the Lilliputians and the Giants (1902)

In this clever and entertaining translation of Jonathan Swift's 1726 classic, "Gulliver's Travels," acclaimed French filmmaker Georges Méliès ingeniously delves into the fascinating realm of size alteration where magnitude holds the key. With characteristic wit, Méliès introduces a colossal Gulliver, his face adorned with a hooked nose and a vast beard, off the shores of mystical Lilliput, his towering figure dwarfing the quaint town's tiny structures. Neither spear nor shackles can restrain this giant. Yet, as Gulliver encounters the gigantic denizens of Brobdingnag and their sovereign, a sense of trepidation and an eerie feeling of being inconsequential seep in. What does it truly mean to feel insignificant and small?

Gulliver's Travels Among the Lilliputians and the Giants is a fantasy movie featuring Georges Méliès.
