Gulliver Returns

I took my daughter to watch it at a Mexican child-oriented theater. My daughter and I were engaged and shared a good load of laughs. The music is great! The topics of friendship, courage and self-respect are there with a slight tone and digestible content that addresses the younger audience. Even though the theater has a fun playground, my little one went back to the screen and even danced to the Irish-Celtic songs. I like the characters, design and overall look. Pace and adult-themes could have been put aside a bit, hence my personal rating. Some gender and sensual jokes may be a bit too much, especially the antagonist who is clearly gender ambiguous. At this moment of history, values are important and the movies takes a bit too much to get to the point of placing them for children to imitate.

It will be only the very, very young that will be (but not all I suspect) amused, to some degree of enjoyment, with this very poor new look Gulliver tale! Its also the reason why the very strongly put over moral of the tale is completely wasted on the 5 year olds, and under, who will enjoy it! I love animation/Anime as a rule but the style of this was just too garish, for me, and all images came over looking very plastic. For me it was just the worst rendition of Gulliver that has ever been! Watch the original Disney film instead...even the Jack Black comedy version would be better!
