Los Angeles-based WinStar, which has recently released a number of public
domain titles under the CARTOON CRAZYS heading, is releasing a "fully
restored" version of the Fleischer Bros. 1939 feature, GULLIVER'S TRAVELS,
on DVD and VHS on September 28, 1999 in the US. Transferred from a newly
struck print taken from an original negative, this version features
enhanced audio remixed in Dolby Digital and Dolby Surround sound. The
musical score also has been remastered with additional scoring and
instrumentation. (It remains to be seen if this is a good thing.) Also
included are two Gabby shorts, KING FOR A DAY (1940) and SWING CLEANING
(1941). (Gabby is the town crier in GULLIVER'S TRAVELS.) The DVD also
includes a 1937 on-site Fleischer Studios report, rare photo stills, a
magazine and picture gallery, a history of Fleischer Studios, and Spanish
and French subtitles.
