Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Singing Richard Harris is shipwrecked in pasteboard Lilliput, and junior patrons will find that the ensuing, distinctly un-Swiftian fun leaves almost everything to be desired. Immense trouble, so we're informed, went into the film's animation (though Harris, the only human being seen for most of the running time, gives the impression of having been uneasily shoe-horned into the frantic, scampering action). The enterprise as a whole, featuring a tubby king and a lacklustre court conspiracy, is bogged down in treacly sentiment.
