An old man tells folktales to his dog.
At its best it's fun, and at its worst it's at least interesting. It's one of the only faithful screen adaptations of fairy tales. They just don't make shows like this - and understandably. Henson and Minghella apparently just said "fuck it" to every conventional idea of what audiences like and made the weird-ass show they felt like making.

This is one hell of a fun movie. In some ways, this is better than the book, but I absolutely recommend reading both. The book was written as satire and commentary, this movie has more of a heart and emotion to it with added story, which some people will like better.
Very enjoyable adaptation. With different end to book. Hope they make some more, even if there are no more books yet.
Interleaves Gulliver's story with fictionalized biography of Swift. Works for me.
Our family saw this on tv during its initial release.
