This Blu-ray Disc Is a Travesty,
By Canuck21 (Montréal, QC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Gulliver's Travels - Blu-Ray D (Blu-ray)
The original aspect ratio of this title is 1.37:1, that's roughly the aspect ratio of a standard def TV (4:3). The images in this BD have been cropped at the top and bottom to fill a widescreen TV (16x9) and that is simply unacceptable. Big studios have learn that staying faithful to the original aspect ratio is the right thing to do. Disney have recently re-released a remastered "Pinocchio" with amazing results and guess what, they kept the original aspect ratio of 1.33:1.If all you want is a cartoon to babysit your toddler and couldn't careless if parts of the image are missing, then this BD might do it for you, but if you care about the integrity of the original art, then this BD is a travesty, there's no kinder word for such action.

A Classic is Butchered,
By William McKeldin Jr. "Vertigo fan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gulliver's Travels - Blu-Ray D (Blu-ray)
GULLIVER'S TRAVELS has been butchered by a combination of cropping and geometric distortion to fill (or almost fill) a wide screen TV. The fact is that Hollywood movies made prior to 1953 were virtually all shot and framed for a 1.37x1 aspect ratio (all but identical to standard def TVs). For years movie fans have been hounding television stations and video distributors to show films made after 1953 in their proper wide screen ratios. Now that we have wide screen TVs the opposite situation exists, and it's the films made before 1953 that will suffer. I urge people not to support this practice. This is not a product that anyone who has an interest in movies should purchase.

Terrible Video Quality - Cropped Presentation,
By Gadget Guru - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gulliver's Travels - Blu-Ray D (Blu-ray)
I had the chance to view this disc and it's a definite no sale for me. The video quality is poor and the original academy aspect ratio 1.37:1 (roughly 4:3) has been cropped and stretched to 16:9. This is not the way it was meant to be seen.It's very disappointing considering this is a classic that could really stand a decent transfer. Unfortunately, this is not it. I don't often write reviews, but I felt the need to serve as a warning to others on this one. Don't buy this edition or you'll be disappointed. 38 of 39 people found the following review helpful

Great Movie, terrible Blue Ray,
By Dwight Kemper "murdermysterytheater.com" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Gulliver's Travels - Blu-Ray D (Blu-ray)
I'm new to Blue Ray so after the few that I've purchased thus far with the fantastic picture quality that only BR can give you I had high hopes for seeing Gulliver's Travels as I've never seen it before. Sadly, this was a great disappointment. The video quality is on par with VHS. Although the colors are quite vibrant, the picture is a horrible. Comparing this to the recent BR of Pinochio and Pixar's beautiful WALL-E discs, this is a version of Max and Dave Fleischer's Gulliver's Travels is a bad April Fool's Day joke perpetrated a month early. Avoid at all costs and demand a proper restoration of this classic film.
