    Synopsis:
    Once you`ve visited Gulliver`s worlds, your own will never be the same. With dazzling special effects by Jim Henson Productions, plus a top cast that includes Ted Danson (Cheers, Three Men and a Baby), Mary Steenburgen (Parenthood, Back to the Future Part III), Peter O`Toole (Lawrence Of Arabia) and James Fox (The Remains of the Day), one of the world`s great stories comes to the screen in an acclaimed production that "accomplishes the astonishing feat of modernizing a classic for every audience" (The Philadelphia Inquirer TV Week).

    Danson portrays Gulliver, the 18th century physician who takes eight event-packed years to return home. Steenburgen is the devoted wife who stands by Gulliver when everyone says his story is the tale of a madman - and what an unforgettable tale it is!

    Join Gulliver as he towers over tiny Lilliput and its wishy-washy king (Peter O`Toole), as he becomes a pocket-sized fortune-teller in a land of giants ruled by a wise queen (Alfre Woodard), as he soars on a massive flying island piloted by intellectual airheads. See Gulliver match wits with a sorcerer (Omar Sharif) and watch as he proves his mettle in a realm where horses rule and humans are beasts. For thrilling adventure and spectacle, don`t miss this "towering achievement" (Los Angeles Daily News).
