Hanna-Barbera had attempted what amounted an unofficial sequel to Gulliver's Travels with the Saturday morning series, The Adventures of Gulliver, one of the last adventure cartoons of the 60's. 11 years later, the studio adapted Jonathan Swift's tale itself for CBS' Famous Classic Tales.
Ross Martin (ex-The Wild, Wild West, Sealab 2020, The Robonic Stooges) voices Lemuel Gulliver, as the story is told from Gulliver's point of view. H-B regulars John Stephenson, Janet Waldo, Julie Bennett, Don Messick, & Hal Smith are also heard.
Edit, 12/1/22: The video has been deleted. In its place is a picture of a VHS release of the episode:
As this aired a week before Thanksgiving, it also invited viewers another chance to see the 1968 series, which was now part of the Banana Splits syndication package. Messick also worked on that series.
No rating. Just a public service.
