Pete’s Preview by Peter Veugelaers © 2010
Jonathan Swift’s classic satire about the follies and sins of human kind is given the contemporary treatment. Gulliver’s Travels, first published in 1726, was made into animation in 1939 and a live action/animation version in 1977, which was a British-Belgian co-production. The latest is 3-D which ups the ante on the previous versions, and stars comic Jack Black playing a travel writer who wasn’t headed for an island of miniature citizens but winds up on it. It’s billed as a family adventure-comedy. I see it more comedy than adventure.
