Gulliver’s Travels was produced in 1939 by the Fleischer studio in response to the success of Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. This was the tenth animated film ever but it was the first one made by an 
American studio other than Disney. It has now entered into the public domain so you can watch it online for free and it’s completely legal.
I had never actually seen this animated movie before today and I actually surprised myself by liking it! A lot of the animation is kind of shoddy (the rotoscoping of Gulliver is the worst) but the songs are
beautiful (one was nominated for an Oscar) and the character Gabby is wonderful comic relief. This is by no means on par with Disney in the way of animation but the story is really good. Gulliver’s Travels is a must see if only for its historical significance but I think you'll like it too.
