A cute telling of the Lilliput story, and I like the music. A short movie that the grandkids enjoyed despite its age.
I think one of the featured comic characters (Gabby, the night watchman) was a well-known cartoon personality of the day.
2023 movie #52. 1939. The 2nd ever full-length animated movie and the first to use rotoscoping (for Gulliver). Some pretty clever animated scenes and an OK movie, except I didn't care for the music (which won Oscar nominations for original song and original score).
Cats study swingology by day, swing by night.

There's nothing to this but the music, which is very good but not enough to carry a cartoon.
